What I find really disturbing is that the ban is permanent. How draconian is that? I don't condone the actions of the supporters at all, but please.. life? A lad gets into fisticuffs at a game say in his teens or early twenties and he's banned for life! I find that incredible. Paedophiles and rapists get more chances than that. No chance of the culprits going through a three or five year period of reflection and self-rehabilitation then? We all know that we mature and change (usually) for the better as we get older and learn from our mistakes. Imagine.. a young kid in the year 2052 asks his kind old grandad to take him to the Town match. "Sorry grandson, can't take you, had a fight against Port Vale because they were storming the home end in 2018 and the club banned me for life."

I assume the ban only applies at BP. When the new ground comes along there will be an amnesty  

Do you think anyone would even remember who is banned? It's not as though they have to report to a police station. If you pay in cash you are effectively anonymous. Until they install biometric turnstiles at BP a lifetime ban is unenforceable.,

Codalmighty article on the issue makes for some interesting reading. The only thing that has not been made clear yet, is whether these banning orders relate to the crowd entering the pitch after the penalty, or the fighting in the main stand. As i have said before, if it is for the latter, then fair enough, but if it is for the former, then it's quite despicable in my humble opinion. Wish someone could clear this up definitively.

Reading that it sounds a load of balderdash to me.

Yes the club can ban anyone they like from BP but unless the bans are a result of a criminal conviction I don't see how they can ban them from away games.

Surely that letter's a clever spoof on Town's typical communications.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Why. If it was for fighting in a family area they deserve a lifetime ban.
