There were some fans fighting over seats in the billy bonds stand. All claiming they had the same seat. Other people got involved and before you knew it fists were flying. Two season ticket holders who had bought tickets for their regular seats got up and left over it. One young scared looking steward who looked like he wasn’t long out of school turned up to deal with the incident. Ten minutes later four or five other stewards turned up but by then it was all over thanks to some peacemakers in the crowd intervening. I wondered whether some tickets touts had sold some tourists some dodgy tickets or whether that’s even possible?
