that is one of the worst things about HKR the overzealousness of the stewards. the way they stop the away team players approaching their fans at the end of the game p1sses me right off. The bond between players and fans is on ething that separates Rl from soccer yet Hkr seem to be doing their best to undermine that.
That is becuase of our humbug cousins who decided that the players coming towards them was reason enough to cause a pitch invasion.
Thay were cleared of any wrong doing (Even though every team has a duty to control its fans even away from home) and we had the book thrown at us, So now every club is tarred with that same brush.
Its a once bitten twice shy situation unfortunatly and although I can see and agree with your sentiments the club are only protecting themselves.
Put it this way the black and white side of the cities official allocation is now the stand in Holland just so it doesnt happen again.
