madmax Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 Just heard from a mate that there is some serious trouble on the Cumberland Basin. Apparently there was a bridge swing and Millwall Fans got stuck in coaches and City fans kicked off setting fire to one coach and pouncing on fans getting off. Sounds serious as one fan, not sure if it's City or Millwall is in a very bad way. Tops it off really! MM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enever Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 it is true. Coach on fire and bollards being thrown at it. not sure how it ended?! (was called by someone who was there) really not good, especially with all the press finally sitting up and taking notice of us, now we go and embarrass ourselves on and off the pitch. like someone said in an earlier thread, the worst thing about today is the extra 3000 fans who will never bother to come again after that performance. They wonder why the gates aren't great, but whenever there is a buzz around Ashton gate for a big game and the crowd is large, there is usually a disappointment at the end of it!

These kind of acts (again, if this is true) give fuel to the anti-stadium fire that Ferguson and Rayner et al burn. Really hope this isn't true.

Us_and_Them Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 if 2 firms wanna meet for punch up fair enough but to attack a coach this way when there could be kids on board really is shocking....i also hope this is not true or its not as bad as it is made out to sound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 what a dumb-ass thing to write Have you read the graffiti thread and the incessant and unfounded conspiracy theories? Never catch City fans being like that, yeah, ok, never in a million years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Watts Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 what a dumb-ass thing to write I'm hoping he meant it ironically - against those who tried to pass off the graffiti at the Mem as being those people...hopefully... The thing is these simply aren't City fans. They're complete knob jockeys only intent on a scrap that have attached themselves to the City just so they have a "cause" to fight for. Sadly every club has them, but we would all - society in general, not just the club - be far better off if they were just to die a horribly painful and lonely death. Nothing but a menace and a burden to society, and nothing more than the scum deserve for bringing intimidation and fear to some people's lives. And no.....I'm not being harsh! I know the general public will sadly see this as City fans on the rampage, but i do at least feel confident myself that the term "fans" or "supporters" is in reality applied in the minutest meaning of the word.

Trouble is not acceptable or excusable at any time - anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riaz Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 I think theres a good chance it was'nt city fans that did that graffiti..... not that I dont think that city fans arent capable - but I think the timing of it was very suspicious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble is not acceptable or excusable at any time - anywhere. i take your point and agree, what i meant was that a scuffle between firms or what ever you wanna call them is relatively minor to what has been alledged on here reguarding setting fire to a coach.

medders100 Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 I was caught down there as it happened - there was a bridge swing so no traffic going anywhere. Looked like city fans attacking the coaches but Im not really sure - no colours on display. It was really bad - lots of bottles, stones, fires extinguishers being thrown about - people joining in from the pump house and rose of denmark. We called the police, but there was absolutely no police there at all. That's the worst thing! My girlfriend was really shaken up, guys getting stamped on, smashing bus windows, and nothing that we could do - couldnt even move as we were blocked in! Not great planning from the port authority I have to say! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Casual Connoisseur Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 Bollox, it was City fans with a little help from the Dutch lads. Some of you people are so naive, put your head back in the sand and pretend we don't have a hooligan problem no not at all, that's why we have lads from willem 2 and Sparta Prague following us, wake up!

Not great planning from the port authority I have to say! Exactly what I have been told. My mate was in the Rose and the guy that has apparently dies had his head smashed with a fire extinguisher. I am gutted this has happened and seriously poor planning by all authorities regarding the bridge swing. MM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petehinton Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 it's all about reputation, being known and all that stuff, which makes it even more pathetic. If this is true then not only will someone have lost a best friend/son/brother etc, then the return leg at the new den is going to be hell on earth, with people wanting 'payback' in anyway possible.
