BobBobSuperBob Posted February 2, 2019 Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 No doubt we will give aleeds the whole end and then they will wonder why there’s problems Do the same v Leeds and I’d suggest it could end up far worse than today 1 minute ago, RedLionLad said: Care to elaborate?

No disorder . Plenty going On. In The Park, Hotwells Rd. OB dropped the ball letting us all out together, bearing in mind a number of Swanea turned up within tickets and are eventually let in after about 1/2 hour!!!

Problems during the game could’ve been avoided if properly policed today. Yes, idiots from Swansea but baffling policing @JulieH Anyone with an ounce of common sense could have predicted what was going to happen when you allow a mob of Swansea to arrive in the ground late then let them do what they want. Yes, idiot football fans but if that’s the level of competence needed to be a match day commander, I’ll sign up my toddler now. Emabarrssing, but unsurprising.

BobBobSuperBob Posted February 2, 2019 Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 The Police were unaware of any trouble in BS3 as they were too busy escorting Swansea’s main hooligan hardcore in the centre ( The middle aged woman with the fur coat collar and the kid with the glasses are very high up in the Port Talbot Skittles team apparently......

Real shame after all the planning and positive comments to get this game as normal as possible. Cctv and other footage will be reviewed Talk about planning . Not one police officer insight when it kicked off in the ground , embarrassing planning as I could tell you it might get a little tense . Asked one of your colleagues after why Swansea where let out at the same time as us and he said it was the clubs decision , hindsight being wonderful surely you guys could see the potential in the park .

Jan Window Posted February 2, 2019 Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 6 minutes ago, RedLionLad said: Care to elaborate? There was a scuffle of some sort on the east side of the park where you are pinched in to the route to the garden centre. We were on the west side so legged it to the Plimsole Bridge. Loads of OB inc Five police horses Shocked the away support weren't held back. There had been signs of disorder earlier: bunch of Swans escorted through Spike Island clearly drunk+not co-operating never going to make it to the match on time. Noticed half a dozen S Wales police riot vans. Recognised them from the last Stokes Croft riot! Must have been expecting something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeepUpLino Posted February 2, 2019 Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 Did find it quite entertaining 100 plus Jacks hiding behind a tiny impregnable gate goading the city fans only to meet a few City fans who just ran onto the pitch and straight into the Swansea away end throwing haymakers..

Bristol Rob Posted February 2, 2019 Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 Happened to chance upon the escort on my way back, a huge number being taken along Anchor Road towards the Centre.

I'm sure the escorts used to use the old rail track beside Cumberland Rd but that's a metrobus route now, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s quite a large number so it does beg the question how Avon and Somerset’s finest couldn’t spot them, round them up and get them on their way to AGin time for 3pm That said, it was entertaining seeing all the Green Street wannabes strutting in an acting like cocks. Certainly upped the atmosphere a notch. Hopefully Julie H can spot the pricks chucking coins from the away end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Posted February 2, 2019 Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 Makes a mockery of the fact the police have a riot squad stood infront of Section 82 corner whenever there’s a big game. If they station themselves infront of the away end the incident with fighting Inside the ground doesn’t happen. Always baffled me that, and always made me feel like I was a criminal for standing up and watching a football match, being eyeballed for 90 minutes by police and stewards. Maybe the police will have learnt a basic lesson - if there is likely to be trouble inside the ground, it’s likely to be near the segregated area, not at the opposite corner.
