No wonder the atmosphere is poor at times

They've been filming us in our seats since we moved to the Liberty as well.I'd imagine if there was ever any trouble outside the stadium they'd be able to put a seat number to the face and then an identity to the seat number

As a Council Tax payer , it would appear that they are trying to justify themselves being there.

Agreed , there will always be a potential for trouble at some games, but how many - per year - two?

There should always be a presence to protect the fans, but the filming supporters with high tech equipment is OTT in my opinion. The new stadium is so sterile even my wife goes with me to matches.

I was thinking the same thing after the game when i seen a police man with a camera..Its pathetic they should have better things to be doing this time of the year! Fair enough if its a big game and trouble is likely but there was hardly going to be trouble with blackpool! half of their 99% of their fans were over 70 :lol:

They're looking for ethnic minorities to harrass after the game

im a ST holder in the canton, but at half time dcided to wander around the far end of the ninian, by away supporters, about 5 of us stood up in the top corner, (not blocking anyones view, just stood up with the rest up there)
steward keept telling us to sit down, then i got told i was being filmed, but stood my ground (literally) until another steward (the ravanelli lookalike) came over and told me if i dont sit down i would be escorted out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wasnt blocking anyones view, wasnt goading away fans, wasnt using foul and abusive language, WAS JUST SINGING AND SUPPOSRTING MY TEAM!
no wonder theres no atmosphere......f*cking JOKE!!!!!!!!

If more were willing to make a stand, then there is not much they could do. They cant chuck everyone out.

Anyway if i got chucked out, i would want it in writing stating it is against the law to stand and i would want my money back.

Great Mutli-Million pound stadium as promised - THAT IS IT!

They should have named it "Alcatraz"...................................we have been cloned and it seems no going back!

I would prefer to still be in the old stadium and have - heart - atmosphere - terraces - the abilty to stand and chant for/at my team with free will! and know the coppers were down on the groun in the A block corner with their little hand held cams and at most of the games actually enjoying the atmoshere and game being played (not really impacting on the crowds).

Surely such a "super" stadium has the umtimate in CCTV and there is no need for the police camera presence - fair enuogh place a row of them between home n away fans (again if they thought the stadium out well enough this could have been prevented by not placing them where they ware) BUT inside the stadium they should have permanent cameras that are inconspicuous to all fans that can be manouvered and zoomed in on fans from the control room without the police getting in fans faces and riling them up....... they are wanting a reaction from the fans and they know Cardiff will give it to them.

I say get a song and dance goin for all the fans to do at the end of season in appreciation of all their hard police camera work................... and no moonies!!!! :D

Me and my mates have stood all game at every game we go to.We go in the corner of the Canton and Ninian Stand and we have not once had any hassle off the stewards,thats why we go there.Its ridiculous that they target the lads just because they are close to the away fans,if your not blocking anyones view then what is the problem.
