However, I find it strange that people don't mention anything about the fact that people are breaking the rules by standing. Love it or hate it, this rule is set to all clubs and fans have to abide by it. It's like the law, people don't like the 70mph speed limit but there isn't much we can do about it unless people go down the correct and proper channels to have the law changed.
Put it this way, if nobody was standing, then surely there would be no trouble over it?
Be as it may, there's no way someone can sit and enjoy the game if everyone else is standing. If they REALLY want to end it, and frankly I don't understand why since no one nowhere else seems to care about it to the extent they do in Etihad (See what I called the ground!), they'd try to target one of the "big boys" in the stand, not some 100 year old grandpa.
If they want to sort it they should film it, note the seat numbers and then rescind their seasoncards. Don't try and sort it during the game and don't use over zealous dickheads to do it. Like Olly said though, why can't they just sit the fuck down.
On a side note, I watched this whole thing from across the ground (which was a pisser cos it distracted from the game). I'm pretty sure I could see one of our number taking an interest at close quarters. Was that you Beeks?
