after a few incidents in the past were the family stand has been abused by away fans should the club swap the canton fans into the family to keep kids an familys away from the trouble?

The whole point of having the family stand next to the away fans is to avoid trouble. :old:

Yes to use kids as a human shield!

I go to the family stand with my kids however when certain teams visit eg Millwall i would rather not go to the game at all.

I think its wrong to use the family stand as a shield.

This have been talked about since the stadium opened. It's not going to happen anytime soon, probably never!

Just my humble opinion but reading on another thread the abuse that some Villa fan was throwing towards kids and parents then surely they should be evicted from ground as it does not really promote the family stand as a safe place.

Take a look also at.the goals against Sheffield Utd and watch some of the kids in the Family stand gesturing towards Sheff Utd fans, I presume they had parents with them that allowed them to do that.

Would it not be easiar to contain having family stand safe in the Canton and as is now swap Canton oove, there never seems to any trouble between 117 and away fans.
