    Nice of the EFL to lump all fans protests into one simple narrative. What is going on at Barnsley is not the same as racist idiots shouting at players or throwing stuff at linesman.

    Was there really a clash with stewards? Or was there just a gathering of people at the bottom right of the ponty end? (Genuine question)

    This is the problem when you don't protest in the right way. The story becomes about trouble makers, and not about the poor running and ownership of the club.

    Not sure what the right way is, but I know it isn't abusing and scrapping with employees or contractors.

    There was a bit of pushing and shoving, one lad tried to get on the wall and the big chief steward pushed him back. It was all right in front of me and there was absolutely no violence at all. I didn't see what happened at the other end of the Ponty or why the stewards ran up the stairs and onto the concourse.

    I wasn't involved in the 'protest' so it's difficult to comment accurately. I can only comment on how it came across from a distance - which in reality is what most commentators will be doing. what came across to me on the day, was a group of kids in the ponty, rushing down to the front, waving their arms about and getting into some grief with the stewards. there didn't appear to be much by way of organisation. no leader, no banner, no statement, no spokesperson. then we hear rumour of people scrapping, smashing seats, rushing the office and throwing beer at staff. I'm sure that's not all that happened, but those are the things that get reported when there's no organisation or comms behind it. my fear before the match was it could do more harm than good.

    Anti-social behaviour usually is.

    This being the same EFL who's fit and proper tests allowed all these various ownerships to take place, and who's failure to clamp down properly on financial mismanagement of clubs since FFP was introduced has led to Wycombe and Middlesbrough holding up Derby's administration process via outstanding legal action against them.

    I feel greatly relieved that they'll be taking steps to intervene now, which I'm sure will be as successful as everything else they set their hands to.

    It would be interesting to ask each one of those children in the "protest" what they were doing and why.
    I imagine the blank replies would speak volumes.
    They're probably the same children that shout "scab" but don't know why.

    I do take your point about the effectiveness of the EFL. for me though, this is precisely why a bit of thought needs to go into any protest. anyone with half a brain cell, knows that any bother is gonna end up landing us right in the $hit with the EFL. it's also gonna distance themselves even further from the owners. owners are not going to engage with mob mentality. they're just not.

    I'm not even saying they shouldn't be protesting. but they need to be realistic about what the consequences might be if they carry on like they have done so far.

    To be fair the EFL didn't reference our game, the YP used it and Rotherham's as local examples.

    I'm not sure our game was really on the radar of where that message was coming from. Lengthy debate on TalkSport about there being no Premier League games and it being disappointing that when the EFL had a platform all the noise is about racism and object throwing. Our game never came up.

    You can't really draw the conclusion from the article that the EFL are getting involved directly with us.

    There was a bit of pushing and shoving. It looked like they tried to get on the pitch a couple of times, but the stewards stood firm.

    There was one lad who threw a bottle at them, and then clashed a couple of times with stewards in the corner. He was definitely throwing punches. Eventually his mates pushed him towards the back because he was on the verge of being ejected. He's the one who's wearing blue on all the pictures. Not sure I'd class him as a 'protestor' personally.

    A seat was torn out as well, which is just idiotic, and undermines any 'protest' they were trying to make.
