I was there with my 11 year old son. Because we had to sit in our allocated seats we were 2 rows from the front and next to the netting separating the 2 sets of fans. All was well until a couple of dozen blokes who had been on the lash on the concourse came in and filled all the available seats. They immediately began baiting the Oxford fans, some of whom responded. There then followed a series of ever more improbable threats to and fro across the netting. Ollie then scored and it went mental with our mob surging towards the net. A woman sitting in front of me got knocked to the ground and injured her knee. She was in some serious pain and crying. The venom between the 2 sets of fans increased, and fearing for my lad I yelled down to a steward I wanted to move. To be fair to them they recognised the problem and moved us to a small standing area the other side of the gangway. To be fair to the fans next to us they could see I wanted to get my lad away and they stood out of the way to let us pass. When in he standing area I saw the woman being taken away in a wheelchair. If you're reading this love, I hope you're OK. The Police then turned up and started videoing the rowdy fans and that calmed them down, because it had been getting pretty tense and frightening. As we all know, Rovers played an absolute blinder. I was impressed with James, who seemed to be playing up front on his own. He ran and battled all the time he was on, and on another day could well have scored. When the game ended I tried to walk back behind the North stand the way we came in, to use a footpath to get to the main road and bus stops. A f uckwit steward wouldn't let us through because the Oxford fans would be going that way. We had to walk round 3 sides of the ground, through and against hundreds of Oxford fans to get to where we started. There were no Oxford there and we had the footpath to ourselves. And it was pi55ing with rain. Sometimes I wonder if some of these people have the brains they were born with. Have to agree with most of this as I must have been sat not far behind you. Also afterwards there were punches thrown in hollywood bowl and kids and families running out crying. As I said after Port Vale, it is about time we looked at our own fanbase. I agree.. I took my 10 year old daughter and we had our fair share of hammered idiots around us..not even watching the game and just throwing their arms around and shouting random swear words and all laughing about it('men in there 40's/50's)then there's lads that look 15 puffing out their pidgeon chests making throats slicing gestures to the home fans...their all so-called fans but not even watching the game!!! Looking at them makes it hard to sing along to "proud to be a gashead"
