Popular Post pacbuddies Posted May 28, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 28, 2019 Probably not the right thread for this but not sure where else to mention what I have just witnessed on ITV Central News. A bus carrying Derby fans (including women and young children) had several windows smashed by projectiles from a group of Villa fans causing £thousands in damage and scaring the life out of little kids. If anyone has info on who these knuckle dragging scum are then please notify the police. Decent Villa fans will not tolerate this sort of neanderthal behaviour. If these mindless thugs want violence then let them be brave enough to bring it on with people that can fight back and not innocent travellers that include women & kids! 8 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 https://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/sport/footage-shows-villa-fans-attacking-2914678 Quote A group of Derby County fans including children were left "terrified" after Aston Villa fans smashed windows of the coach they were travelling to Wembley in. Shocking footage sent to Derbyshire Live shows the moment a young child cried with alarm when the window beside him was smashed by a thug wearing an Aston Villa shirt. The thug had apparently thrown an object towards the vehicle which, at the time, was stuck in traffic just yards away from Wembley Stadium. The video shows a number of Villa fans targeting the Ridleys coach and making obscene gestures towards Derby fans in front of police who were patrolling the area. I hope they're identified, banned for life, and have the old bill at the door. What a disgusting way to ruin what should have been a brilliant day of celebration. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was down by “the green”, I hear the bang and looked around saw the bus being pelted. Idiots, unfortunately every club has them and it always ruins the fun for other people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s show them were better than those morons who threw missiles at kids. Makes my blood boil. I agree with your use of the word morons, I just found about this incident (which happened before the game, not after it) on the Sky Sports website and it has really made me feel angry. I don't like Sky calling them Aston Villa "supporters", because they're not supporters really, are they? Because how exactly would that kind of act be 'supporting' the club??? It's the opposite of supporting the club. I hope they're caught and prosecuted (i.e. not just banned from football matches and given a fine, but also given a criminal record and community service for this)... They must have frightened the adults on board but absolutely terrified the young kids. And what about how dangerous it was? Full cans, glass bottles. What if a window had smashed as opposed to just cracked? These hooligans put the passengers at risk of serious injuries. So I also suggest a few months in prison... you never know, that might help to stop some of them from repeating this serious crime. They need to be taught a proper lesson. I feel really bad for those Derby fans on that coach... not only did they have a miserable day because their side lost in the play-off final, again, but their day started in a very bad way before they even got into the stadium thanks to those thugs. I find that disgusting. Edited May 28, 2019 by robby b 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If these mindless thugs want violence then let them be brave enough to bring it on with people that can fight back and not innocent travellers that include women & kids! I actually witnessed this at the time - it was horrific - the saddest part was seeing a young child on the top deck running to the other side - and his dad or another adult drag him to the ground through fear of breaking glass - it made my stomach turn. That said - this is a modern state of the art stadium - my coach was going down that road for 1.5 hours - (last year it was 2!!!) - shouldn't there be a big car park - with good road access - for coaches only. My coach was coming in the opposite direction having gone past those villa fans - and turned back to park - two or three of us on the coach winced as we seen what was about to happen - A derby coach stuck stationary in traffic withing touching distance of 1,000's of Villa fans - yet it caught the police totally unaware - not an excuse, but wembley needs to get its act together - get a dedicated route in an out for coaches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 I like to think of Aston Villa supporters as a uniformly decent group, but I suppose every club has it's fair share of absolute dickheads. Isolate them, shame them and punish them. Unacceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvfcRigo82 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 What a bunch of p***ks!! Part of me wants to believe that it was a pack of SHA fans dressed up like us who made the journey to Wembley trying to tarnish our name? With not being there or seeing the news coverage then I cannot really comment to those who have seen the news. We pride ourselves in being the role model of a club and it's sad to learn that we may also have groups of absolute mutants that would carry out such an act! I hope they are name and shamed and banned from having anything to do with our football club whatsoever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Visiting Ram Posted May 29, 2019 Visiting Supporter Share Posted May 29, 2019 Your words are very kind and much appreciated - the Derby and villa fans got on great all day and I do hope you find the person/ people dishonourably wearing your shirt of your club also following on from a post about the transport links in and around Wembley - they are utterly dreadful for anyone north of Watford and I have Been to 4 play off finals now (1 win) and the biggest regret has always been the journey! I actually caught the train this year and at ST Pancras and on the train it was like a war zone due to total and utter official disorganisation 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 couldn't go Monday but its the first villa game I've missed there, every other time I've been I've seen trouble, its a Wembley problem that wont be addressed because its the FAs crown jewell no doubt it is the sunshine and beer that's a factor but the infrastructure is shocking, seen some people suggest the coach shouldn't have driven past our fans (which is a bullshit excuse but has an element of truth - not the drivers fault though) but the ability to get in and out of there pushes rival fans together, the availability of places to go pushes people in to the street, the lack of ease to get there makes people conjugate early and most frustratingly leave early and their answer seems to be to build as much new stuff around it as possible to upgrade the area, its making it worse out of interest @Visiting Ram any reports of other trouble? fights between yourselves etc? main one for me that I've seen over the years is us losing leaving early and fans of the winning team being on the train platform rather than staying to see the cup lifted, really hope that didn't happen monday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Apparently there was a punch up at a motorway services after the game, seems the Derby fans were instigators this time. https://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/sport/football/derby-county-m1-fight-villa-2917285 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
