Shuffle Posted August 26, 2018 Report Share Posted August 26, 2018 Was in the slug and lettuce and there were Police outside on entry and a mixture of Jacks and City and shoppers when a number of jacks including some body building types walked up the side of the pub and entered. It was clear they were intent on trouble and within 10 minutes the pub cleared and police separating jacks and city outside. Didn't actually see any punches thrown but lots of handbags but surprised that a group could saunter past police into a pub as trouble was inevitable.

Mad Cyril Posted August 26, 2018 Report Share Posted August 26, 2018 1 hour ago, Rocky said: We tried to get in Walkabout about 2hrs after the game but 3 of us were turned away, the bouncer claimed 400 Bristol fans trashed the place and they weren’t letting Bristol fans in again. We were not overly drunk, chanting or in any way abusive, just wanted to watch the Liverpool game. Reading of disgusting and embarrassing behaviour like this makes me ashamed to be a Bristol City fan at times. Why would anyone want to watch the Liverpool game?

I walked through the pub after city had left at 2.30 and can report no damage . The only dodgy thing I saw was a table that got pushed over and this was kindly lifted up with the help of a city fan. Bar reported no damage at all and lots of sales over the bar so they seemed very happy . This is a lie. It was very rowdy in there and all kicking off outside, the people outside were refused entry to the pub and the people inside weren't being served alcohol.

Sorry to go off topic but is there any news on Henbury Gas’ claims about the disabled fan getting his teeth smashed out?

I was there from about 12 until 2:30 and the reason there was such a police presence separating the pub we were in and the pub the Swansea lads were drinking in was because it went off. Don't get me wrong Julie I'm not complaining, it was an absolutely fantastic day but you're not telling the truth. We were outside and we were told we were not allowed to leave the pub and we were refused entry to the pub until about 2pm, and then when we got in they didn't serve us alcohol under police advice. That was the only downer on it really, but inside the pub it was a great atmosphere anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nogbad the Bad Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 22 hours ago, JulieH said: I was there and this is what happened, lots of fake news going around unfortunately again! probably only 30 Swansea associated males ( very reluctant to call then fans) walked through a street containing city fans in three pubs, lots of jeering and chanting from both sides, no punches thrown, no disorder and no glasses thrown! Extra police came just to ensure it remained that way. The Swansea group then dispersed from the area. No arrests on the day other than the one Male who for whatever reason ran into the pitch. The grand hotel was the away fan friendly pub and they reported no issues . Thanks for clarifying, in that case time to close the thread perhaps.

Not sure what you mean by * went off*?? think we were probably there at same time but no punches were thrown, no glasses and no disorder. I think I will agree to disagree on that point. however I do agree it was a great atmosphere both inside and outside the ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, it was a great day. We were saying let's enjoy this one because it'll probably be a bubble trip next year.... so I hope what you said is right.

Just in general terms I mean, it never ceases to amaze me when people post anything- and I mean anything- of a sensitive nature or in other cases, a potential flashpoint, any personal identifying features- anything at all on an open, public forum.

elhombrecito Posted August 28, 2018 Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 Early in this thread the police were accused of making up trouble in order to ensure that we return to a 'bubble' fixture, and then as soon as a police representative comes on here to report that there was no trouble, they are accused of covering it up. You couldn't make it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the only downer on it really, but inside the pub it was a great atmosphere anyway. Very strange, as me and 2 others - all in City colours - walked up to Walkabout at about 1pm, were let straight in, and served no bother until the buses turned up at which point everyone was asked to leave anyway. Lots of City fans singing but didn't see any problems at all - a group of Swansea fans sat amongst the City fans watching the Wolves v Man City game and there was just friendly 'banter' (as much as I hate that word). I can only assume that you and the others were refused entry/service personally, rather than City in general - be that fair or not - coz all the City fans I was with had absolutely no problems with the police, bouncers or bar staff at Walkabout, and even when everyone was leaving they were cracking jokes with us and in good spirits. Feel like @JulieH is pretty accurate with what she's said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't just us personally, was everyone that was outside that the police surrounded and refused entry from the pub. 1 hour ago, richwwtk said: Does make me laugh that, despite the police saying "there was no trouble", there are a few wannabees shouting "the police are lying, there was loads of trouble, we're dead hard, honest" Certainly not the case, I'm just saying that if you believe there was no trouble whatsoever then the treatment City fans got was a joke. Believe what you want I really do not care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted August 28, 2018 Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 One thing I did read on that Swansea thread on their site was very disappointing if true and wouldn't reflect well. However there seems to have been no reference to it on here, so I can only assume it's fake news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
