...There is no need for the official to start confrontation with the fans. It is more likely to come back to bite you. Some fans see you in charge of the field, not the entire situation. The may take objection to your direct intervention and get worse. Let the coach address the fans. Small town or big town scenerio, he is likely to know his own fans.

The coach is still the best avenue to achieve the desired result with the least friction.

Just my opinion,

I agree with Freix 100%. Say something like this", Coaches this game isn't going to get started until you get the fans under control. I'll give you five minutes to calm the situation down."

I think its important that you wait a few minutes before resuming the game. This allows people to calm down.

My question is what do you do if both coaches are not willing to cooperate?


I personally like the idea of bringing a cell phone on the field as suggested in a previous thread. If worse comes to worse call the police.
