  7. One One Gloucester City supporter took to X following the game to say: “Defeat on the pitch and a shambles off it. If clubs can't ensure the safety of fans in their stadium then they shouldn't be allowed to have them in the stadium. We could see what was going to happen from the 1st minute and the useless stewards did nothing to prevent it. Group of their young fans in the stands with us trying to goad us from the first minute. Also throwing rocks at us from behind the stand.
