Okay you are saying that the overzealous security has nothing to do with the FFA but fans have been complaining for a while now about this issue at games, shouldn't the FFA as the governing body try to address this with security, clubs and supporter groups and try to solve the issue, rather than let it come to head where we are now seeing boycotts.
What you have mentioned with your own experiences unfortunately doesn't get mentioned in the mainstream media however, same as the Wanderers supporter who was issued with a ban when he was not even at the said game and was in fact overseas!
Why is that the FFA's job though??

It is the club hosting the game who is responsible for organising security

Problem is they take no responsibility here as they sub contract it out to the likes of NES, E Group etc

This security company then employs anyone they can get to fill their contracts. As a result you can get a variety of people who are stationed to work at a sporting event who do not have the people skills or ability to do the job.

Problem lies with the clubs who can employ the security directly themselves. They choose not to because they are too lazy to do so. They have the ability to train and coordinate the security staff then if they are paying them and tailoring the way they operate to their clientele

Football fans are a different breed of people. Maybe if our security staff were actually given appropriate training to understand what is going on we have less problems.

Problem is everyone wants to blame the FFA for the individual clubs choice in Security provider??

Why??
