    Trouble at full time could have been avoided.

    Once again we saw fighting break out at the NYS....why?

    Could have simply been avoided had someone, who by the way should be held accountable, not allowed any Swansea flags to have been placed the other side of the red segregation netting. Which person thought this would be a good idea?

    Was it to make the away end look more aesthetic for the cameras. Well it didn't work!

    Due to past indiscretions for previous fighting/pitch invasions, if we are not careful I can see the FA/EFL taking action against Rotherham United. The little club, one they can make an example of. Do we need that?

    Maybe their fans only climbed over the netting to retrieve their flags but, the stewards should not have allowed this and should have made them wait after full time until our home fans had left that part of the stand. What ensued was an incident just waiting to kick off, all totally avoidable.

    Think our fans were the instigators on this Brin and what they allegedly did was disgusting. I'm hoping they will be banned.

    Roly, I've heard of the stories of the 'spitting' etc and deplorable if true but, if there were no flags present it wouldn't be even talked about or what actually kicked off pal. Totally avoidable on all levels.

    Think it was just the nature of a particular flag which was the issue tho I couldnt see it from where I was sat. Any other flags and it prob wunt have been an issue.

    It could have been avoided if we didn't have more than our fair share of moronic fans 😡

    They could have just used the first couple of rows of seating for flags, then pick up on way out.

    Club need to know the away fans, come on Swans fans are trouble wherever they go.
    Also I’ve noticed certain fans go in that side for one reason only and it’s not to watch football

    Nothing wrong with having flags but the netting should’ve been moved over and a line of stewards

    Two sides to story with a million different different views on how it started

    Swansea fans say that a Rotherham fan spat on a flag that was a tribute to their fan who was killed by the police and that's why the fight started.

    I don't know if that flag was also "anti-Rotherham".
