BP1:Rugby Raider:
For context, about Lewis with one incident yesterday. During the second half you can see him turn round to South Stand beckoning them on. This followed a bottle being thrown towards the pitch from the South Stand (West side). Thankfully it didn't hit anyone. We were all quick to justify limiting Rovers ticket allocation and the segregation, but sadly shows we still have in the odd idiot within our own fan base.
Was that the one where Lewis started playing a mock violin towards South stand? It certainly riled a few people around me that one.
I saw the bottle flying through the air (I sit in S5). It came from somewhere towards the back of South stand and landed somewhere in the first few front rows, so someone probably got a little drenching.
It was probably due to it being derby day, and to the way the game was unfolding, but there did seem to be more than the usual quota of over-excited people near me yesterday. Around 15 minutes into the second half, three young guys (in their early twenties I would say) suddenly came and sat in our row, no idea where they had been for the first-half. Safe to say they were 'well-oiled' with one of them 'seven sheets to the wind'. They made a lot of noise (and shouted into their phones a good deal) for around fifteen minutes before thankfully disappearing who knows where! Although I'm fairly sure they weren't the ones throwing the bottle, don't think they were capable to taking aim!
Derby day definitely brings out the worse in some elements of our fan base. Some seem to crawl out for this one game only each year. Thankfully nothing major seemed to erupt yesterday.
