Redmycolour Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Went down Gloucester Rd today to see a friend who works in a shop near the mem.he said they've had a warning from police to expect damage to property on Sunday. I wonder why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcusX Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Oh that's useful. So the Police aren't offering any sort of protection then - just letting them know to expect damage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
54-46 Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Why should they "expect" damage? It's unlikely they won't progress to the PO final now, so what would they have to kick off about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miah Dennehy Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 I think you're friend may have misinterpreted what was said. While it would be no surprise that police would visit local businesses to make them aware of a potential disorder, a police officer would not- or at least should not- be telling people to 'expect' trouble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bard Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Was going to post about the decision by the police to refuse the Sag's request to move their game to Monday. Possibly one of the most idiotic they've ever made. It's as if they want to see trouble. Why they didn't tell the Sag's to play at exactly the same time as our parade is beyond me. Minimises the risk of trouble. Instead they'll be dealing with pissed fans of both clubs probably in town at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovers never made any such request, the game was moved to the Monday , and then once City announced their bus tour, it was moved back to the Sunday.

The Bard Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Okay. Sorry for the error. It still doesn't change the fact that plod made the decision though. Your game should be on a different day to ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It worked out well because I expect your lot probably want to come and watch the bus tour mate, bring back memories from decades ago of a blonde haired skeleton screaming down a megaphone.

So many good quotes from that film, I like to think Cotts is like Chard. Lieutenant John Chard: Mr. Bourne, there should be 12 more men working on this redoubt. Color Sgt. Bourne: They're very tired, sir. [Chard whirls around] Lieutenant John Chard: I don't give a damn! And I want this wall nine feet high, firing steps on the inside. Form details to clear away the Zulu bodies, rebuild the south rampart, keep 'em moving! Do you understand? Color Sgt. Bourne: Yes sir... very good, sir.

Red-Robbo Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Well get up on that hill and sing out if you see anything. You too. And take your bandook, you dozy welshman! It's a great film, but unfortunately, like so much Hollywood fodder, it gets a lot wrong. For a start, the 24th Foot weren't "The South Wales Borderers" at the time of Rorke's Drift, they were The Warwickshire Regiment - and the majority of the soldiers who fought there were English.

In the Net Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 Went down Gloucester Rd today to see a friend who works in a shop near the mem.he said they've had a warning from police to expect damage to property on Sunday. I wonder why. Police have advised FGR fans not to drink on the Gloucester Road or in the city centre before or after the match - do they not know that Rovers fans never show in the city centre?
