I was not there so don't know the facts but how can you be so adamant in suggesting that Neksor is being untruthful when he was there and you, by your own admission were not ? It might be an idea to establish the facts before posting and it doesn't matter who might have 'started it' violence is wrong, it's criminal and does the reputation of the club no good at all.

I was leaving the main stand exit closest to north stand and the young group of fans were singing and drumming as they do. They were winding up some Aberdeen fans but nothing violent and aggressive just banter. From what I seen around the area of the stadium nothing involving them happened. There was a slight argument with a few older boys with some Aberdeen fans and that could be what Neksor was talking about but that was nothing.  Certainly no punches being thrown or anything like that. 

Just some middle aged supporter making a big deal about nothing therefore starting a pointless argument...enough said

After the end of the game I was standing outside the main entrance when the "Young Boys" , more like thugs,  led by their drummer marched along the pavement chanting and cursing in an aggressive manner. When they saw some Aberdeen supporters they charged and attacked them with fists and boots. It was very intimidating and frightening for me; can you imagine how the Aberdeen supporters felt!

 

 

Why do I get the feeling that this didn't happen or you are making it sound more dramatic than it was. 

If it did happen good on them, it's what some of the Aberdeen fans deserve.

There was a big group of them 20-30 walking to the game from town,  Aberdeen fans that is and they were definitely trying to start something. Was walking a fair bit behind them about 7:30 and they were stopping cars while they sang together crossing the road and throwing a cone and stones a bus stop and just generally being scum. 

You need to grow a set and realise it was probably the Aberdeen fans who started it, it always is. If you don't like it fine, walk away but don't put the scene into your words and turn it against our own fans. Why would you do that?

Look forward to seeing the Young Team at Motherwell. Always good to have folk who get behind the team 

Will they be there though? Since they are banned from bus and a train ticket would be far to expensive, how else they gonna get there? 

Does anyone know if the gellions bus is running for Motherwell, I know it is for Dundee away.

Secondly, the number of fans banned from the Motherwell (and the Motherwell bus only, not all subsequent buses) has been very much overstated. We have a duty to all of our regular travelling supporters to ensure that buses are run within the guidelines set by the bus company and to a standard that the majority of supporters feel is appropriate. This includes several young people who we know travel regularly with CJT. 

 

Is still doesn't make sense to ban the majority of them(apart from the ones you know!!!) for the Motherwell game. 

Fair enough your holding "meetings" with some of them but you should be give them another chance. After all it is the Scottish cup qualifier and not just a normal league game. 

What point does that prove? That you have authority over everyone who uses your bus? That misbehaving will result in a one match ban? 

Give them your viewes on what's acceptable tell them what they had done so they know at least then unban them TODAY.

We need all our fans and as much support to help our team into the next stage.

I'm only a member of CJT and not on the board, so again I couldn't possibly comment on why you guys have been banned. Again I'm just giving my opinion that CJT wouldn't hand out bans unless the actions warranted it. 

Im not one those boys who have banned, I normally drive done to away games when I can. I also understand you have just made an opinion and didn't make the decisin. 

My point is that for the Stiriling game me and a few mates decided use the very much appreciated service or CJT buses as they do a job that no one else does in organising buses. But what I did find strange was that they put 30 Teenagers in a mini bus with just the driver(too my understanding), on a 3 hour journey to a football match. What did they think would happen? They would all read books and catch up on their homework. Their obviously gonna sing and jump about if no one is telling them to calm down. 

The lads obviously didn't book 30 seats at the same time so it was somebody's decison to put them all in a mini bus. Well that was there mistake and these boys shouldn't be punished for it. 

Unban them or I guarantee the buses will struggle for numbers if people find out you get banned for  having a good time Ffs.

I wasn't at the Stirling Albion game, so I couldn't possibly comment on the actions of the lads that have been 'banned'. In my opinion, the guys that have been banned wouldn't have been without good reasoning. 

So would someone from CJT please tell everyone what the reason is that got them banned? Give  the lads a break, how else they gonna get to the game. Did you even give them a warning the previous time?

I think this is a disgrace of a decison been made. To ban a group of teenage fans from traveling on a bus they use almost every 2nd week and who have recently raised the atmosphere of home and away games, Why? because they were singing on the bus? 

I think the person who made the decision to ban them should come  forward and give an explanation to why because it clearly wasn't the head of CJT. 

These fans are as loyal to the club and team as any other fan traveling to the game. What did you expect when you packed them all in to a mini bus? Guarantee if you had put them into a normal bus the driver wouldn't have complained about noise levels. You brought this on yourself. Here's a thought unban them, let them go to the Scottish cup qualifier and put them in a normal 40+ bus and there will be no problem. 

OR you will notice a smaller and quieter away support.
