Livi supporters angry over head of security

Last updated : 22 September 2004 By Www.liviultras.com

It started when guy in a sports 'blazer' came up to the back of section Z, told the few standing fans that he was the head of security at Livingston and that he was asking them politely to sit down as they had "created" a scene where by the Dundee fans (approx 3 rows of 20) had insisted they wouldn't sit down until those standing in Z were.

Although one or two in attendance know who he is, he didn't show ID and to a lot of onlookers he was just another punter.


As you can imagine, as he was attempting to address a crowd of around 8-9 people spread along 15 seats, he was finding it a little difficult to get his point across as 3 or 4 people were all talking (not swearing) at him at the same time.


He advised the small group that they had been previously given permission to tie up and lay out their flags and that this permission as well as their season tickets could just as quickly be taken away.


Voices grew louder and the FORZA LIVI flag was removed less it be confiscated. As it was being removed, one or two voices were raised with the 'blazer' telling one lad, who was at the game with his wife and child to 'Shut it' and squared up to him.


At this point the 'so called' polite request was reduced to full blown farce with a serious incident potentially not far away.


The blazer pointed at one individual and barked that this incident would be brought up by him personally at the next supporters meeting.


Bringing the chaotic episode to an end, he stormed off down the stairs.
