The latest appearance coming from what happened just over a week ago in the 4-0 massacre to Mamelodi Sundowns at FNB Stadium when there were issues with the way fans behaved as was the case in the previous meeting at the end of September.

Based on the fact that fan behaviour issues are a repeated offence for Chiefs, the next risk is that of a blanket ban on spectators.
The few that mess it up will leave many suffering the consequences of not being able to be at the stadium on matchday and without the beauty of creating memories.
Sad.
Fans are what define football and without them the game becomes poor.
Stuart Baxter had plenty choice words for the very same Chiefs fans during his time at the club after getting riled by what happened in the stands.
A matchday ticket is no right to invade the pitch and throw missiles regardless of how you feel about what happens on the field of play.
You are no hero in disturbing proceedings on the pitch.
Your family can never be proud of you.
Actually, you are what Baxter described as being 'stupid' regardless of the fact that you were under the influence of alcohol or not.
There are better ways to express your unhappiness.
Why not stay away from the stadium and not spend your money on a match ticket?

If it is a betting ticket in your hand, then watch the game in the comfort of your own house and kick your own television in expressing your frustration.
Works better that way.
Chiefs have now had to spend time apologising for the disappointing incidents instead of focusing on the business of making sure that the team improves and gets back to the glory days of the past when winning trophies was the staple diet.
