Ban alcohol and the testosterone fuelled neanderthols will find another way if causing trouble. Just throw them out and never let them cone back.

It is a shame that what appeared to be a cracking game in the end with a victory to celebrate, that the person who threw that pint didn't do it by accident , but the work of a low minded individual who has no place at our club. Regardless where the occurence took place, and let's not always blame the "townend" for everything negative. They are after all the most vocal of our supporters,and the one that I stand amongst are very decent people too.
Alcohol should be banned from the terraces, we don't see it at League games, the club can still makes a nice profit selling it in the Spitfire lounge before the game at half time and after if these people still want to indulge. I have stood in most of the areas around the ground, the support goes from very vocal either end behind the goals to mutted along some part of the touchline to silent unless we score a goal from the main stand.

No it shouldn't. That's just giving in to the mindless wankers who want to ruin it for everyone. Why should I not be allowed to have a pint in my seat because some lowlife scumbag can't hold his drink. Why is it so hard to just ban them from the ground. We don't want the non-league experience to turn into the overregulated nightmare that the upper levels of our beloved game have evolved into.

Would argue the sexist chants directed at the Harrow physio were much more concerning than some kid who didn't like the taste of his first pint. Though it might well be the first time some of the Town End have been that close to a woman judging by the looks of them, you'd still expect them to be able to hide their excitement. Yes agree the chants the physio were uncalled for as for the looks of the Town Enders what are you gods gift.You pop in and show your face and we can then judge you as you them.As for the throwing totally out of order and needs to be dealt with asap.This is not the 1st time but lets hope its the last

Id very much doubt one of our main sponsors would want a restriction on where the products are consumed ,they would sell thousands of pints less over a season if they had to be drunk indoors.This would affect match-day takings.
Have a couple more stewards in the stand, a couple on the first step ,and a couple at the back of the stand get them looking about not leaning on a post chatting!!..The stewards seem to congregate around the steps to the lounge and the nearest turnstile to the lounge, use them better ,position them better .We have enough stewards .
A requirement of promotion to Conference South is that stewards have to have specialist training in handling a football crowd ,and are aware of football related offences..Have ours had this training? ,if not why not get them on a course now, one day soon !!,they might have too ,and whats the harm if they have this knowledge any way.With the gates we have our stewards need to have all the training.
Tuesday night was one person,and remember over 4.300 fans have watched football at he GS, in the last 8 days , im not condoning it, but its a one off incident . It needs Policing, that end ,that area is a potential flashpoint a high risk area ,if it cant self police then the stewards need to be much closer and in the stand.
if it happens again it could be a fine or worst still a points deduction ,so i hope the club sorts this out quickly with better stewarding
but a bit of common sense please before knee jerk reactions.

Yeah fair play I can see your point about that chant. From what I remember most of the players in front of the town end had a grin on their face. Not trying to justify it just stating a observation. And in my opinion the throwing of beer was worse but not too in front of the chant.

Roystyboy is the town end leader, I blame him for everything.

If we get promoted the club wont have a choice
Pretty sure under FA rules conference clubs arent allowed alcohol to be comsumed outside the bar or in view of the playing area

How on earth can the sight of a female physio STILL be a novelty to any supporters?
Even more worryingly, there was a shout of "UKIP" at one of their coloured players. Very tame compared to what used to happen 20 years ago, but still disgusting - as was the knowing laughter from those in the area.
But abusing the goalie is surely a different matter? That's part and parcel of football, always has been, and most goalies are well up to coping with it. Although "does your boyfriend know you're here?" is a bit pathetic. High time some of our mentally challenged 'fans' grew up.

As for identifying the beer thrower, that shouldn't be too difficult.
There's a photo posted by Heathside on the 'Harrow Borough score update' thread, which shows the people standing where the beer thrower was (right next to the goal on the left - as seen from the pitch). I was standing behind and fairly close and didn't see anyone move away immediately after the incident, so the chances are one of those in the photo threw the beer or saw who did, possibly even knows them.
Maybe the club has CCTV footage of that area, or maybe the guy who videos the game can supply footage - or, at the very least, they could get hold of the original of that photo. One way or another, it should be easy to identify those people.

Just checked the video and you can't see the incident as the camera moves away from the goal.
But it doesn't look like it was thrown at the actual moment of the goal - which would lend support to the idea that it was deliberate.
Perhaps someone with better eyes than me can see more?

Why would you take a beer on a packed terrace ? The club should now ban drinking there as beer has now been thrown a few times now plus it must be hard not to spill it. Because I enjoy a beer each half watching the game. I never spill a drop. Even when the equaliser went in my suit remained dry! My choice. I behave myself.
