From source. Happened during Man City v Aston Villa game yesterday 15/10/11 ........................
An aging Manchester City Fan in 109 who refused to sit whilst those around him and the
away fans stood. Showsec picked him out as their
let's-make-an-example-for-the-day (they do this every week) and then
called for the police. The bloke in question sat down before the police
went to his seat, even with those around him still standing. They went
and spoke to him, and, whilst he was sitting down, told them he hadn't
done anything wrong. The GMP seized an opportunity, or at least they
thought they did, when Balotelli scored to try and manhandle him out of
the ground. I didn't see how the man ended up on the floor but he can
clearly be heard in the video saying he takes tablets for a heart
problem before they took him out and at no point did I see him forcibly
resist. Their treatment of him was disgraceful and that's not all. When
the GMP waded into the crowd people were getting elbowed out of the way
or knocked over, myself and a kid no older than seven included!
Completely out of order and an exemplar for any aspiring stewards or
policemen and women in how not to defuse a situation. There's also
reports of Showsec stewards lashing out at fans. I did not see these
events however but the above description is my eye witness account and I
would swear to it in court.
