The club are doing what they can, everyone has to be registered to get a ticket anywhere, and if they are identified they get a banning order, not many clubs are doing this and the myth that other clubs do not had wrong un's fits some on here's narrative. It is also true we have many mugs from many teams that turn up at our place including some of the kids that follow Morecambe that cause bother usually behind the away end. We regularly have to replace damaged stalls and seating in the away end
Most clubs have an element no matter their size, just fewer if you have a smaller following. We know we have some and we as fans try to stop them, but come on a Semi Final away win there is always a chance fans will be on the pitch. the flares and abuse unacceptable.
We are trying to put our house in order, other clubs not so much. Hope they ban a few so I can take some of my family down to Wembley...

The lad in the altercation was strolling off the pitch and seemed very aggressive himself.

This is challenged by terracing, then if someone misbehaves and is arrested they are banned. As a club we issued the most banning orders not because we are the worst behaved but because we have to tools to identify the perpetrators. Barely any other club has taken this step, we as fans want our club back and some want to go and cause trouble the club and true fans are doing what we can.
For your narrative you want to say we are all the same and what the club is doing is not enough that is up to you, but we are not all the same we do care about football, we like a bit of banter and a pint after the match. Plymouth are a really well supported team and it will be a cracking match they have their issues with fans same as most clubs even yours. The atmosphere will be out of this World there is no animosity between the fans and it should be a good Craic.
