Mr Popodopolous Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 On a general note, about the presence of Julie H on here. I believe that she is there in an official capacity as well as intelligence gathering- but if it was purely the former, she could get all of the relevant info available on here simply by reading, not bothering to register etc. This- by which I mean the main bit, the largest bit of Football Chat, is an open forum tbh- I doubt there is any significant material useful for "football intelligence" in this sense, in the transfer forum eg.

Gary Nanes Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 Looked a great day out lads, glad you enjoyed. As others have said be very wary of Julie, any chance to stitch up football fans they will do, I'm sure she was there absolutely gagging for something to go off on Saturday so they could have a nice easy boost on their policing numbers. Still, you'll get the usual police apologists on here sticking up for her and them.... don't think she should be on here anyway but there we are.

It does indeed look as though everyone had a great time As for the police being there, football is certainly over-policed quite zealously, but this is because football fans have a history and that surely cannot be ignored. This gathering is pretty much aimed at your football 'lad' and, as a result, there is always the potential for trouble. Much as you would see in any town on a Saturday night granted, but pretty much heightened by the large group of 3-400 lads who would be congregated. The fact that a lot of the people who went see the need to report there was no trouble just goes to show that the potential for the trouble was there. I see no problem with a couple of police hanging about in the background keeping an eye on things. They were certainly not there to 'stitch you up'. Had there been any trouble, there would have been plenty of people asking why the police weren't there as the knowledge of this gathering happening was there in advance. Much as plenty of people are happy to blame the police for the trouble against Swansea as they knew the potential was there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly you are well known on OTIB for having a very one sided view on these kind of topics If the event needed to be policed why were the local police or PCSO's not around? I would be interested to know why you think that the event is "aimed at your football lad"? I've never been in the area to attend but having spoken with someone who was there he said there was a mixture of kids, adults and pensioners, both males and females with many families in attendance. Add to that a charity collection was done on the day, it hardly sounds like an event where there will be problems There hasn't been any problems in the past so why assume that there would be this year? This comment The fact that a lot of the people who went see the need to report there was no trouble just goes to show that the potential for the trouble was there. Is complete nonsense and I would go as far to say it is aimed at people like you that in your reply above clearly think it was "lads" and there would be problems. It just highlights these people can attend trouble free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just highlights these people can attend trouble free I have no issue with the event having taken place, it looks like it was great fun, but you have to admit it was not your average run of the mill family picnic taking place was it? It was promoted as a 'piss up' and whilst I wouldn't deny there were women, pensioners and children there, the makeup of the gathering would have been overwhelmingly 'lad', as the photo posted to this thread shows. I am from Weston, and a large gathering outside the pub in that part of Weston would have undoubtedly caught the attention of the local police, who would have been keeping an eye on things. the only reason anyone even mentioned the police was because it was Julie. Nobody would have expected trouble, but there was at least some potential for a large gathering of drunk blokes to go wrong somewhere along the line, and I can't really see how anybody would have a problem with a couple of coppers keeping an eye out.
