    ccmfans.net is the Central Coast Mariners fan community, and was formed in 2004, so basically the beginning of time for the Mariners. Things have changed a lot over the years, but one thing has remained constant and that is our love of the Mariners. People come and go, some like to post a lot and others just like to read. It's up to you how you participate in the community!

    If you want to get rid of this message, simply click on Join Now or head over to https://www.ccmfans.net/community/register/ to join the community! It only takes a few minutes, and joining will let you post your thoughts and opinions on all things Mariners, Football, and whatever else pops into your mind. If posting is not your thing, you can interact in other ways, including voting on polls, and unlock options only available to community members.

    ccmfans.net is not only for Mariners fans either. Most of us are bonded by our support for the Mariners, but if you are a fan of another club (except the Scum, come on, we need some standards), feel free to join and get into some banter.

The RBB has tarred ITSELF with a negative brush of being problematic and it sounds like the police reacted to the initial issue based on that. You said that you worked in a similar role- if YOU were confronted by a mob, would you prefer more or fewer colleagues to support you? Obviously more.

Working in my role I also know the importance of 2 way communication and de-escalation, 2 things that didn't occur here.
As for having more or fewer colleagues, it is actually highly dependent on the type of people you are dealing with, and what you are trying to achieve. In this case all I can see that was attempted was a level of intimidation, to a group of people that perceive themselves as anti-authoritarian. It was completely stupid by the cops.

I dont understand why responsible parents would take children with them to the RBB, let alone allow them to abuse police.

You don't have to, nor do the cops, they're children....there not the issue.

As for the legitimate ticket holders, I would walk away, and ask the venue staff to either place me in my correct seat [when they had sorted it out with the cops] or one of similar cost, NOT confront police officers over this trivial matter.

This was the perceived issue as to why it all started Active supporters with tickets were denied entry. There is no similar seatting, they stand.
