It took about 10 mins to get any police up there

Are you alright? Sounds like you’ve got hiccups.

Just below me then. I reckon the stewards, to save a lot of aggro to move him, waited until halftime to take action.
Were you sat in WSL, behind the Roma benches!?

I think it’s something to do with a UEFA requirement about some seating being made available to away fans that isn’t just behind the goal. I might not be spot on with that - but it’s something like that … I believe.
I got the feeling looking down from the WSU that they probably had enough in there to fill the seats but obviously decided they were going to all cramp together and stand.

Yes, that area has been given over to away fans for all the Europa League games.
Seems a bit ridiculous really and asking for trouble being so close to home fans to the left and directly below.
Surely the obvious option would be to allocate more seats behind the goal so all away fans are together and leave the raised section as home only.
As per post #28 above, this must be a UEFA decision, idiots.
On my stream, Roma had a corner down there and the commentator said something along the lines of the Roma player trotting over and waving to fans in the corner stand. I was a bit puzzled, as all I could see where the ones at the other end of the stand. Now I know!

There has been "banter" between home and away fans at every Europa League match, but last night it could have turned nasty after the disgusting behaviour of the Roma supporters.
There was only a couple of stewards in there until the police turned up at half time.
Remember all the Brighton fans who bought AEK tickets in the main stand in Athens too?Have to love the double standards - snitching on away fans in home ends, yet in the away games Brighton fans on NSC co-ordinating where to sit in home ends

For his own safety!I snitched on an away supporter to a steward in WSL but that was for his own safety. When we thought they had scored a goal in the first half he jumped up and waved his Roma scarf around. Needless to say the people at the end of the row behind him looked like they were going to smack him. I don't think he read the room very well and perhaps should take his scarf off and sit on his hands if the occasion ever arises again.
Yet our fans in with Roma at home was fine.

When BHAFC supporters complained they got the same response we did from BHAFC stewards in Rome - ‘tell UEFA’.
Woefully under prepared / resourced.
If that had been us then PB would have had a field day with ejections & bans. But, when it comes to it the Club don’t really cope with the opposition’s supporters.

I wasn't in with the home fans at Roma! For those that were, I'm sure they probably had the sense to sit on their hands! If they didn't that's their own stupid fault.
I don't want to see some young lad smacked by one of the 4 'hold me back' middle aged blokes in the row behind him that were up out of their seats giving him a load of abuse. And as selfish as this may sound I'm there to watch a game of football!! Young kids in front & if the blokes at the end of the aisle had decided to go for him, the only exit for the lad was over me & Jnr 6 seats away. I can only apologise for not wanting to have a brawl ensue around me whilst watching the match! Also my Jnr's safety comes well ahead of some away fan in the home stand who's too stupid to sit on his hands!!!!
The away fan is going to leg it towards Jnr & I, the people behind are going to chase after him, it's not f**king rocket science to realise that Jnr & I will be caught up in the middle of it if it kicks off! I'll be the muppet that probably ends up getting smacked, as I'll be the twat that tries to get in the middle and break it up before the brawl gets to Jnr's seat. I'm actually quite good at it, but I've only had to do it in pubs, not very enclosed areas with young kids there.
Basically get off your high horse, if you're happy with brawls, fine that's up to you. The kid was asking for trouble, I'm not going to sit around waiting to see if he gets what he's asking for if Jnr and I are going to be in the middle of it, if that's ok with you?

I didn’t say you were in the home end at Roma.
I didn’t say I was happy with brawls and I can confirm I don’t want away fans in the home end. My point was that at Ajax and Roma there were BHAFC supporters in home end. Yes, they probably kept a low profile but they were still there - doing what we moan about, and breaching ground regulations at other clubs.
It appears you didn’t snitch on him for his own safety so thanks for clarifying. You did it to protect your kid, which is understandable.
Could have just clarified that from the off.
