About 40 cafc sitting in the south. All looked about 14 years old from the other end. Five mins in the heavy mob seemed to decide the twenty foot dividing net wouldn't be enough to contain these raging zitmeisters so made everyone move along another block. The terror alert remained red hot however and ten mins later decided on mass to move them all to the east. Most missed the goal whilst being moved
What was to point of opening the South to home fans in the first place? All the extra stewards and police they would have had to lay on just for 20 odd people.
I think they decided to move the few out of the South so they could use the catering facilities at both ends for the away supporters. So they needed to move them out before half time but the rent-a-mob security were way over the top. They have done this a few times already this season with the away supporters and a different approach is needed.
The club shouldn't have sold any seats in the South until the East was full and then this ludicrous situation would not have happened.
Looked a complete shambles. Why was a Charlton fan taken out through the away end, instead of being taken out the gate at the front and alongside the pitch? More stewards than fans it seemed and it's not as if the Chesterfield fans were baying for blood. Report from Club should be interesting.
Feel sorry for any of them caught up in it and assuming the fella getting ejected only to be dragged through Chesterfield's end (I know the majority of stewards aren't quite competing for MENSA but dear me) only got slung out because he told the idiots where to go I am pretty unimpressed by the whole thing.
Have to laugh at some of the comments on this thread. What actually happened for those interested in facts is that our yoof spent the first five minutes gesticulating at the away fans, the stewards moved them, they continued hand shandying the away fans so the decision was taken to relocate them into the east. One fan was ejected no story here now please move along.

I agree, we could all see that from The Covered End. The chances of enticing some of the "new" fans back would not be helped by that behaviour or what it could have escalated into, if there were no stewards or police to prevent it.
because as Airman Brown has said the Club didn't know if there would be enough spaces in the rest of the ground and hoped there wouldn't.
With hindsight it wasn't needed but the decision to split the Jimmy Seed stand (IT'S NOT THE FECKING SOUTH STAND ALL OF YOU) had to be made four days before the game due to the Police wanting to know.

Handled pretty badly to be honest.
Ketters can assure you the kids in question were not 'youth'!
