AshtonPark Posted November 28, 2018 Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 @JulieH I was looking at some photos from yesterday’s game and saw the picture of the game at old Trafford where the away teams had a pyro display prior to the game. What are police tactics with this when it with fans from abroad? Do the police try to arrest these fans, or do they “let it go as it’s easier for everyone”? In just wondering what the police do as its fans from abroad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Up The City! Posted November 28, 2018 Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 Considering LJ promised we would be in the Europa League this is quite a pressing matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted November 28, 2018 Admin Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 I appreciate that this is aimed at someone else, but going on what has happened in previous rounds these displays are against the law and the "home side" will be fined accordingly any day now by UEFA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that means we will be getting promotion this season and finishing top 8 in the PL the season after....can't wait - exciting times eh? Or possibly he 's expecting to win the FA cup this season and qualify sooner. I' m worried now though that after Brexit I might not get a visa to travel to the away legs.......... You'd think LJ would have anticipated that and ensured we qualifed earlier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s like when I was a lot younger. I was always aiming for stunning babes, what what I ended up with was usually somewhat different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slippers, nice drink and a browse through OTIB? Works for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There can be some educational work done beforehand with fans from abroad but as can be seen it doesn’t always work ! they are still liable to the same arrest procedures/ charging as uk based fans but I suspect on this occasion that a decision was made to not prosecute. However uefa will probably heavily fine them as stated by others. When ajax played here in a friendly there were 3 dutch fans arrested , 2 for smoke grenades and on that occasion they were charged and convicted in court the Monday after the game . They also had banning orders as they were at the time frequently in uk for European games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might not be in the public interest to prosecute and/or evidence might not be up scratch and/or the police might not investigate/send a file to the CPS.

They might not be identified at the time , post match they could be and then I am not sure it will be in the public interest to prosecute an European fan who has returned to their country. often the footage is sent to the European police spotter for that team and the club involved can then deal with them if that is their individual policy, along with their own foitball officer .
