Cardy Posted January 22, 2022 Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 Utter shambles after the game today. It was almost as if they wanted the two sets of fans to meet face to face for a ruck. I have never seen anything like it. Whoever was leading that operation this afternoon is in the wrong job. Why is it that they don’t just keep the Away fans in the ground for 15 mins at the end like they used to?? Not exactly rocket science is it - although a sensible decision like that probably means less overtime. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s ok to shut roads and keep drivers stranded for hours in their cars for safety reasons, surely holding people back in a secure environment with facilities is less against human rights than a shunt on the M4. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted January 22, 2022 Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 Was amazed pre game to see that so many of the police on duty around the ground were Welsh, wearing jackets with Heddlu on, WTF was that all about? Bet when we were over there none of them were Avon & Somerset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon so, I once contacted Birmingham City when we were kept inside for an hour and a half after the end of the game - I got a handwritten reply from Karren Brady - to be fair her response was courteous, concerned and professional - had lots of time for herself and her club after that ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blocking off Ashton road seemed an odd move but assumed there was some logic in it but clearly it didn’t work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have kicked off big time otherwise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One WPC told me that I’d have walk through the park to get back to the car “because there was trouble before the game”…………..what a load of bollocks . Others were complaining as well and when she got distracted I just walked through. In all the years that I’ve been going to AG I’ve never seen Ashton Rd blocked off before.

He said that there was a large Heddlu presence at Cardiff Central and on the trains to Bristol. Obviously stayed with them all day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P'head Red Posted January 23, 2022 Report Share Posted January 23, 2022 It did seem strange to me. I soon found myself in the middle of a large Cardiff crowd stranded out by the public toilets by the park after exciting from the Dolman. Asking for trouble, especially if the result had gone south.

There must have been some trouble before the game, I was walking beside a copper who was telling his colleagues how much he "loved it" and boasting that he had blood on his truncheon but he wasn't going to clean it.

Eddie Notgetinya Posted January 23, 2022 Report Share Posted January 23, 2022 All football clubs have ‘spotters’ and travel to all the away games to work with the local police. Avon and Somerset will have some officers at every away game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
