Libertine Dream Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Get off the train put in the pub the police insist, leave when we're told, get to ground 1 hr early, come out the ground leave when we are told and get on the train we are told to get on. We asked to get on a different train "who said you could leave?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfOfWestStreet Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Yup was saying the same to my mate. I wanted to go for dinner in Cardiff tonight with my mrs but sound of the police said if I wanted to do that I had to prove I live in Cardiff. Is this legal?

Aizoon Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 I wouldn't have gone if you paid me. Anyone with two brain cells to rub together would predict it would be like that. I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allyolly Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Managed to get away from the police escort by hanging back and saying to the coppers I was booked on a late train. For once the heddlu seemed reasonable, at least up until they left the stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS3_RED Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Told the police in the car park that we were parked in Canton and they let us slip out the back of the stadium with other city fans. It was only the train lot they seemed to have a problem with and i honestly cant blame them from what i have heard today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a total wind-up. I think the word Whoosh! applies here. And I'm not making out anything, let alone WW3 - but the Heddlu, the BEP and the South Wales Echo will, and the bubble will be back.

chalky Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 I don't think I will be going again - a tie against the Malaysia reds at the Kuala Lumpar really does not stir the blood in the same way a trip to Cardiff City at NP used to....

Timbo7 Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 There is simply no valid legal grounds for the typical OTT policing we were predictably made to suffer yesterday! The only reason they are able to get away with it is: the majority of law-abiding supporters are prepared (it seems) to tolerate such infringement on their rights; and no one who has sufficient cash to burn to fight the police through the courts ever finds themselves in sympathy with football supporters. The basis for the action (although none of the officers on duty yesterday seemed to be aware of it) is that the police are entitled to prevent free movement of individuals who they have good reason to suspect are intent on committing a crime and/or causing a serious breach of the peace. The simple fact that no more than a small minority had that intent (by any rational analysis) means that the police are wrong to rely on legal rights established to control protests and/or flying pickets where the entire crowd can be legitimately assumed to have similar intent. The vast majority of the crowd at the end of a sporting occasion simply wish to travel home or to somewhere else with minimum fuss and bother. This being the case the police action was once again wholly disproportionate to the perceived threat and therefore plainly unlawful. It was another sad illustration of how the police have long forgotten (if they ever knew) that in a democracy they owe a primary duty to the public (attendees as well as residents) - it is simply not their role to apply draconian controls on the innocent in their misguided attempts to control. For reasons I simply cannot fathom, the police seem unable to understand that alienating the generally law-abiding majority inevitably leads to a breakdown in order - no civilised society can survive if respect for law depends entirely on police enforcement.
