poland_exile Posted March 4, 2018 Report Share Posted March 4, 2018 was under the impression that we do have a history with them, as others have mentioned was a bit of retribution paid to them in the early-mid 00s, quite a famous incident in a certain pub...

Hampshire Red Posted March 4, 2018 Report Share Posted March 4, 2018 good to get a police response but to my view it was way, way OTT Perhaps the reasons all home fans get upset with this ridiculous overkill is the fear that it is costing BCFC money that need not be wasted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tin Soldier Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 The problem I have is that the OB look at us and see the “potential” for trouble. BUT the fact is AG hardly ever gets any nowadays? It is all prawn sandwiches in the Lansdown stuff - which I hate. It is like a morgue in there during the game. Infact BCFCs “mob” are pretty inactive nowadays. Oh yeh, someone threw a flare on the pitch (:laugh:) earlier in the season. They (OB) have to justify there presence, overtime etc to the club and use the 100 Willem as the “potential”. What a joke. If you know this lot, they are a very friendly group of Dutch fans that have developed a close affiliation with Bristol City. Never any problems, infact the only way it would kick off is the over policing approach that exists at AG nowadays. Shameful by A&S OB! And all of us on here are paying there overtime in one way or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This fixture will come again - mark my words. Infact you have SU end of season and there is plenty of history there also! Best get used to OB presence. After’s and before’s!

EstoniaTallinnRed Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 I remember when Estonia played England in the qualifiers, Euros, World, can't remember now, two bobbies from London were sent here to police the England fans. They had a great time posing for photos with tourists in the Old Town Square and that's probably all they did, apart from watching the game. I am sure the Estonian police handled the 9,000 full house quite well, still a good couple of days out for the bobbies, I had a chat with one and he told me he enjoyed being there. Nice work if you can get it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why were the Willem fans put in the corner of the Lansdown all by themselves? I saw them there with their own personal “bodyguard” of stewards.

Would there have been issues if they weren’t there? the simple answer is no one knows. What I do know though is that if the police weren’t there on Saturday then someone convicted of a football offence and on a football ban would not have been arrested or detected. We would not have been able to reunite a lost boy with his dad on winter stoke road We would not have been able to assist stewards with a particularly violent Male who was being ejected and then calm down several other family members we dont just deal with violence and fights.some fans as previously mentioned on this forum feel reassured by police presence. i don’t think we can win whatever we do but all I can do is explain why we do things !!

I'm sorry but it was completely and utterly over the top on Saturday and by hook or by crook we all have to pay for it. I spoke to two of your colleagues after the game and they admitted that they too were also surprised at the number of police present. There was absolutely no need for it at all. It must've cost a small fortune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
