Post match reserve fan behaviour - a disgrace

Last night I watched the reserves beat Accrington in what was a good tempered and fine display. I was proud to support a promising young side.

After the final whistle my pride dissipated into shame following the behaviour of a minority of Blues. A number of under 16's started to run on the pitch and cause havoc around the stadium. They were joined by some older kids (who were over 18 as they had managed to have a skinful in the club bar).

Not content with casing this annoyance they went about flooding the toilets by overflowing the sinks and loos the stole shirts and scarves from the club shop.

The police were quite rightly called and the away fan bus was delayed whilst the incident was sorted. During the ensuing melee an Accy steward was punched by an EFC 'fan' as he was harassed by 5 lads.

It was an absolute disgrace. I hope Everton pay up for the damage and sort this issue out before we become the shame of the local reserves sides.

Unfortunately we have some fans that let the club down, but I’m shocked at this happening at youth level!
Hopefully someone will shop them.

Violence at youth level should result in a ban from Goodison too. We dont need tramps like these in our stands

Spot on Dan Adam.

We’ve all been drunk and disorderly at some point (most weekends), but trashing another clubs facilities and punching stewards is bang out of order.

Only hope these dickheads don’t travel away to Uefa Cup games.

I am in no way justifying their behavior but where did the alcohol come from as we all have a
resposibility to not make booze available to youngsters who then cannot control themselves. I witnessed adults behaving badly in Italy because of drink

Why does everything on the this site always lead back to Kirby?Any chance that the editorial team,following Lyndon’s fine article,will finally say no more.

Why should the club pay for the damages - they can’t be held responsible?

Also, how are the club supposed to try and sort out the issue?

I’d prefer to concentrate on the positives........... Do we really have "away buses" at reserve games?

That’s impressive!!!!
