Fans accuse bouncers of being heavy-handed at Pete Doherty gig

Crowd members from Southampton gig claim security was 'over the top'

i was another one at the southampton gig, and whilst the security can be accused of being heavy handed (crowdsurfing is one thing, trying to access the stage is another issue altogether) certain sections of the crowd were throwing bottles at pete, generally being aggressive towards younger members of the audience (one guy i saw shove his way to the front practically threw 2 young kids off the barrier).yes, security was rough at the gig, but in my opinion it was as a direct response to a minority of the crowd being moronic - its worth noting that it wasnt the younger members of the audience causing trouble, it was people of an age where they should really know better.
