Oh the irony...

How the hell is Betts still even an MP ? As for a 'crush' I'm sure he enjoyed having big strong men pressed against him.

His mate Keith Vaz will be green with envy.

another thing hes convienieltly forgetting about when he mentions blades fans being aggresive towards wendy fans is that our fans are subject to this kind of behaviour from his own fans on leppings lane and hillsbro corner every time we play at the sty and plenty of blades fans with kids have been targeted as well know its not right just making the point that it happens at both sides of the city and he needs making aware of this fact
 
I don't recall any demands for a safety review after Blades were stopped in their lawful tram journey by a 'large group of hooligans' last year. Maybe I should pay more attention..?
 
And how many turnstiles we’re open for us at the Sty last season? Was it 2?

They can’t put it down to a computer fault in the turnstile management system at that festering hole (forever stuck in the 1960’s) can they? More like the 2 operators had sloped off for a brew.

wonder if mr betts was one of the pig scum mob chanting about chris wilders daughter or billy sharps son luey ? be interesting to hear his point of view on this subject and as gray has stated how many turnstyles were open for our fans at the sty last season i honestly feel it would be a better policy for no away fans at either derby game

I can see a logic to that but it would deprive Blades of seeing in person last season's 4-2 Hillsborough hammering, or the history making Bobby Davison game.

Betts is a windbag looking for attention, nothing as drastic as banning away fans should be considered on the strength of his hyperbolic squealing.

They keep their snouts shut about disgusting stuff like that. But Keith cracks a joke about a drunken woman invading the pitch and they all turn into rabid SJWs demanding he's never allowed on the radio again.

It does make for a better atmosphere IMO

What are my fellow Blades views on what happens here for the Sevilla derby games where there is a similar fierce rivalry between fans, Would this work in Sheffield?

Both Real Betis and Sevillafc came to an agreement a few years ago that the solution to prevent trouble was to grant only 500 tickets for away fans for the derby games.

This is how it works here.
If you are a season ticket holder and want to attend the derby as an away fan you register your interest by sending your season ticket number to your home club where it is entered in a a draw to choose the lucky ones who get a ticket.
If you are successful the ticket has to be collected from your own stadium box office on the day of the match, about 3hrs before kick off.
Once all the tickets are allocated the local police coral the away fans together and escort them by foot ( The walk is around the same distance between the sty and the Lane) to the stadium, this ensures lots of banter and abuse along the way but zero problems. On arrival at the away section all tickets are checked against your ID card before entry is granted. Anyone turning up solo before or after the official escorted walk is refused admission.
At the end of the match the away fans are then escorted back to their home stadium in the same way..
Not much fun if you are bad on your legs or it's pissing down but it ensures a safe , trouble free match.
 
Its a good idea Biri, but wouldn't generate enough overtime for our gallant constables. Neither would it allow SYP to show off the expensive toys that someone in a committee thought would be a great way of spending public money.
