Cotham Brow Red Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 They really were the worse. Was in a pub and a sniffer dog came in. Fine ok he caught someone with stuff who got dealt with. But the 11 cops who also came in (about 30 city) basically made things worse, got heavy handed and from nowhere 4 got arrested for nowt. One for clapping. Joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Skin Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 Being confronted by WMP finest obstructing our exit from the away end and refusing to move was really helpful. Do 13 year old daughter and my disabled son really constitute a threat to law and order? I'm always mindful to paint the police in the positive light and someone that my kids can turn to when they need help but even they felt uncomfortable when the police were staring us out in a really confrontational way.

Up The City! Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 incorrectOnly in areas that have Designated Public Place Orders yes I noticed the signs around the ground saying this. I saw someone drinking and the copper said to him hide it away in your jacket.If I ser the police do something wrong then im the first to moan but on the other hand today I saw some excellent policing so shall praise them for that. I didnt witness any heavy handed actions and my interactions with them were very friendly. Seemed to be a mix of our police and their police.Only moan I have is as I was walking away from the stadium towards morrisons a bunch of pathetic city fans jumped out of a mini bus and attacked some brum fans who were wearing shirts. My only moan is that there were no police around as these people should not be anywhere near football stadiums. Many children witnessed this incident.

Lack of Action Man Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 incorrectOnly in areas that have Designated Public Place Orders Exactly. Furthermore, I've never been told to "drink up" in front of a copper whilst meandering through the streets of Bristol. Another reason to love Bristol and find Birmingham a rather depressing place to live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up The City! Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 that is rather embarrassing. Wish they would stick to fighting themselves in the Atyeo.I almost felt embarsssed for the spotty stons island teenagers as they jumped off the mini bus expecting their elders to back them up. Think the elders were either too busy wetting themselves or trying to pretend they had nothing to do with these morans. The look on these teenagers faces when they realised they were surrounded by brum and no one would back them up made the entry fee worthwhile. It reminded me of that scene from the football factory film where their coach drives off and they chase after it to escape the rival fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brum brought it on and got that famous Zulus reputation shoved up there arse. The West Midland Pigs were a disgrace to day, following us in in unmarked cars, heading out dispersion orders against everyone, even charging a apparent blue pub for just being there.I could go one but this lot are PIGS of the highest order. Lovely stewards though, credit where it's due. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee F Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 WMP are without doubt the worst. They did nothing but antagonize all day. They were taking every opportunity to create issues and flashpoints.I was in the pub when they sent in the drugs dog and 10-15 bully boy coppers in baseball hats for no reason other than to cause a potential flashpoint. I was also stopped on exiting the ground on the basis that some WMP bully decided I was someone he recognised on a banning order (which I obviously am not), again no point to it and was just done to cause a potential issue as I was walking away from the ground.

We thought this was odd as well. It was quite an obstuction for a lot of people exiting in one go. Bump into one of these yellow-clad roadblocks ("sleeping policemen" ) and then what.....?Always been an awful policeforce & they're clearly not learning.

CITYAREREDANDWHITE Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 What else do people expect from them? Always have been a power hungry, rude and stuck up force. Will it ever change unless someone in a position of power stands up to them, it's so ingrained into them now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterStyvarsRightFoot Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 After today's Specticle ....I think it's safe to say they're the worst force In the country... had had one of my friends sent back as he got off the train; had myself threatened by an officer and a duty manager in the pub saying if I kept singing between my friends and I then I'll be off the premises and not allowed to the game....FCOL myself and two others were singing build me up buttercup ( personal joke)then last but not least they plucked the escort out at random and nicked people who's done naff all wrong !!

Bump into one of these yellow-clad roadblocks ("sleeping policemen" ) and then what.....?Always been an awful policeforce & they're clearly not learning.Some of those officers were from Bristol. I guess the purpose of these 'police roadblocks' were to stem the flow of us visiting supporters as fans gently blended in with brum fans instead of all at once. Better than locking the gates and not letting us out like ive experienced at other grounds.All I can say Is apart from the small Incident I witnessed which to clear things up were two shirters on a bus stop whos only crime was a bit of friendly banter that these two lads from the mini bus couldnt handle then the policing etc was spot on. I arrived In brum at 11 had a few quiet drinks then went to the ground.Thinking objectively maybe sometimes people should lok at the job the police have to do? I cant comment on any incidents todsy as I didnt see them but my advice is if you want to avoid these incidents then keep your head down anf keep yourselves to yourselves and you will have a incident free day like myself and many others.

Kid in the Riot Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 Getting their practice in for the Villa game?The police were a disgrace today. Pushing kids outside the away end that didn't have train tickets cus obviously their dads had them.Sending away City fans from the game for no apparent reason??I'll be getting in touch with Amanda Jacks at the FSF and would urge all other witnesses to do so too.

At worst it makes people who may not know what to expect with WM Police aware of what they can be like. At best, as mentioned above, it could make people get in touch with the FSF and take it further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better than locking the gates and not letting us out like ive experienced at other grounds.If this was a 'tactic' then use some strategically placed barriers and stand behind them. Give people some information so they understand and will be more likely to comply. Speak to people (preferably on the way in) or put something out over the tannoy. This was intimidation pure and simple.I have no idea what part of the country any of these police officers were from because they did not speak, but obviously they all were under the control of the WMP. I'd say they were from from the 1970s - police force rather than a service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
