A Fans View of the Trouble at the Crew and West Ham Game

A Fan known as Bluenose13 from a Toronto Website gives his version of the trouble at the Crew Stadium.

As for the altercation in the Nordecke at halftime. This is completely on CSC, as they were too busy throwing Crew fans out of the game to notice a group of 15-20 loud drunk guys in Claret and Blue walkingright down the aisle between 141 and

142. The leader, a large tattooed fellow who had obviously drank too much, starts in on a couple of Crew fans about 10 rows down from the top of the section. That’s right, sports fans, 10 ROWS. That’s how far they got into the section they got before I saw 1 CSC person headed in that direction. Meanwhile, there are families with kids in the area, and upon seeing that, the surge of yellow and black to form a bit of a wall between these goons and the rest of the Crew fans began. The big inked fellow then throws his beer on a couple of us and the fray begins. It then spread to the top of the concourse, but I couldn’t see much after it spilled out up there. Some may frown upon my next comment, but I can do nothing but applaud the members of the Nordecke that got involved in the stands and were defending each other, as again CSC was nowhere to be seen. As for what happened after, I can’t comment.

The visiting Toronto fans at the Crew stadium will all be wearing West Ham shirts at their next match with Crew and singing “Im forever blowing Bubbles”
