Aston Villa fan needed bloody wound GLUED back together after West Brom supporters hurl seats at rivals

West Brom supporters allegedly threw seats at Aston Villa fans

Mark Villers, 20, needed his wound gluing together by a club doctor

An Aston Villa fan has revealed he was covered in blood after being struck on the head by a chair flung from the West Bromwich Albion section in scenes Kevin Phillips described as life-threatening.
Mark Villers was watching Villa’s 2-0 FA Cup win over their local rivals from the lower section of the North Stand when away supporters housed above began ripping out seats and throwing them down.
He told how he required treatment from Villa’s club doctor, who needed to cut his hair and glue the grizzly wound on the top of his head closed.

‘It was mental,’ said Villers, 20, who attended the game with two friends. ‘We could see them throwing down the chairs after we scored the second so we walked down to by the advertising boards. We didn’t think they’d be able to reach.
‘All of a sudden, everyone shouted, “Duck” and stupidly I turned around. It literally hit me bang on the forehad, head on.
‘It was a shock but I didn’t think anything of it. I carried on cheering. Then I felt the blood pouring down my face. It was really bad. I’ve never bled that much. It was pouring out all over my clothes. It was a bad cut.
‘The pain wasn’t that bad, it was the shock of seeing blood come down my face. I knew it had hit me quite hard but I didn’t think it would cut me. It must have been caught by the sharp bit.
‘There were quite a lot of seats. After we scored the second goal things started flying down. To guess at the end it must have been 20 or 25. One landed on the pitch.

‘I didn’t need to go to hospital. I went to the stewards and they ushered me down the tunnel where the paramedics were. They held the tissue on and then the Villa doctor came, took me into the medical room, and glued it up for me.
‘He had to cut my hair unfortunately so I’ve got a bit of a bald patch. He cleaned me up and sent me on my way.
‘At least I got to go down the tunnel! I was sat down on a stretcher and saw Jack Grealish come through after he got sent off. Then I saw everyone going mad with the pitch invasion.
‘The pitch invasion is bad but I don’t think it’s as bad as people throwing chairs.'
Speaking on Match of the Day, Phillips – who played for both West Brom and Villa during his playing career – said such actions could have been fatal.

‘Seeing those seats come down, it could kill someone,’ he said. ‘It was like the Seventies and Eighties again. Those people should be found and banned.’
Villers, a business development manager at a futsal centre, questioned why Villa organise the away seating in such a fashion for Cup matches.
‘Having the away fans above the home fans for Cup games is pretty stupid and is asking for trouble in my opinion,’ he said. ‘They should change that. One of the paramedics said a fan had been hit by a 50p piece.’
West Brom midfielder Craig Gardner also appeared to have coins thrown his direction when taking corners near Villa fans.

I Bet you they They won't do anything about they might ban a few villa for being on the pitch but that's all they will do remmber how they went to town on us when we celebrated against leeds

I can see some pretty heavy sentences being dished out. This will be Chelsea / city proportions.

Local derby, big rewards so they forget everything the authorities have learnt and put it on a Saturday at 5:30 for TV.....Us against the Jack at the same time was a bubble in a ground half the size

Wow! You condone a pitch invasion in the current climate??

Are you aware one of the West Brom players was abused and attacked (punched to the back of the head) and had to be rescued by team mates??

Those who did so before the final whistle will be 'made examples of' and you only need to look at the comparatively far less serious Wales incident recently to see what can be meted out!

Just imagine that had been a South Wales 'derby' and it was our fans doing that! Wow!

I didn't know any players were attacked on the pitch! It was Villa fans' chance to let off steam and they are in an FA Cup semi!

Can't beat a pitch invasion love the FA Cup.

Great passion there by the villa fans. Had to laugh at the commentator saying the Villa managers day had been ruined. He dont give a rats arse, hes taking his team to wembley.

The commentators are f*cking ridiculous. Like a scene from the 1980's? We've had about 3 or 4 pitch invasions in the last 5 years!

ThomasC, I agree that the Villa fans wanted to celebrate a momentous win for their team against fierce and bitter rivals, WBA

But invading the pitch before the final whistle was just an act of supreme selfishness and stupidity and it has landed many of them AND THEIR CLUB in the mire!

Even their own fans were chanting "W***ers. W***ers,W***ers!"

And it didn't end there! Cowardly WBA fans responded by "doing a Swansea" and ripped the seats up before throwing them at random towards the Villa fans of all ages down below and leaving one man fighting for his life just because he dared attend a football match!

I have never/will never forgive the cowardly JB's for what they did in the Ninian Park Grandstand and I despise them for their base mentality and immaturity! Every one of them is a c**t in my eyes!

I dare say some wag will try to justify what went on (most likely from the Villa contingent) but there is a time NOT to glorify such actions and this is certainly one of them!

There was kids on the pitch celebrating so it was hardly frightening

Incorrect. The man fighting for his life is a Watford fan at wolves.

The guy from Watford was attacked outside the ground, whilst the guy at Villa was hit by a seat thrown by a WBA fan inside the stadium
