I did see the said stewards re-enacting the headlock etc. in the corner between terracing and seats after the incident. They seemed to be having a good laugh! Totally unprofessional from start to finish.

I think it'd be nice if John Fenty made some sort of statement or effort to help this fan. I, myself, like John but I think if he made some sort of contribution towards this and tried to help in any way i think he'd get a few more of his doubters to maybe reconsider or atleast like him a little bit more than they do  |

Fenty would do well to avoid making any statement unless absolutely, 100% necessary. |

I will probably get pelters for this but it is a genuine question;
Why would a 41 year old man take an inflatable beach ball to watch a football match? Just don't get it!

I don't think Fenty should get involved. Didn't he take a flag off a young fan and break it? He didn't put the kid in a headlock and push him against a wall, granted, but even so, it's a subject he should stay clear of - as much as he might want to support this fella. He's got plenty of eye witnesses and a bunch of photos supporting his case. It doesn't need anyone else getting involved. |

Fenty should have made a statement by now, this Town fan has travelled with his young daughter on the supporters coach and has travelled on the supporters coach to other away games without incident. I would also like to add a well done to the people who run the supporters coach for going and picking him up. All Fenty had to say was that he was horrified that a fan with his young daughter had been treated in such an unprofessional and sickening manner and that he was going to talk to FGR. |

As others have said I much prefer the attitude of restraint currently being shown by the powers that be at GTFC to "shooting from the lip" as in the past. The truth is we don't know whether JF has spoken to FGR. The other aspect to this that seems to have been forgotten is that it will surely be up to the individual to decide whether he wants to take this further. If he does then I believe that is the time when the club should rally behind him. There were several prominent witnesses to Saturday's debacle... |

We didn't pick him up Dave, he walked back to the coach at the ground. I have just sent an e-mail to Forest Green showing my disgust and await a response. |

Quoted from 75
I'm happy to act as a witness if needed. It all happened in front of me. Feel bad as I thought about jumping in to help but thought there was a high chance I'd end up with a banning order if I did.
Pm me if needed.
Probably best choice. It would've turned it from a clear cut, "big bad stewards" to "this proves our point about that lot from Grimsby". Hopefully the guy will take legal action - by the looks of it he has plenty of people to go at: FGR, the stewards' employer, the stewards themselves. In a way it's a shame the old bill has done nothing either because that all sounds like an assault too. "Dear Austin, before you leave, can you do one last job for your constituents...." |

I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
