DOLMANDAN Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 OK so we are playing Brentford FC at home and we the home fans have been given an opportunity to populate our rightfull place in the East end.Now no disrespect to Brentford but they are hardly the most well supported or aggresive that Ag is ever going to see.My point is then why the presense of all the police.Call me cynical but i think it was a ploy to evidence an increase in policing charges,plus why did the stewads even attempt to get us to sit down (yea right)because now they can say we asked them and they ignored us as i said set up to fail.By a person although a fan doesnt understand the tradition of the club.

Chivs Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 But who doesn't understand the FANS of a football club, or what winds them up Drew.It says in the programme today that he's missed 4 games all season. How many of us can claim that? I certainly can't.I think that people who attend a lot of games are more likely to understand fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club made a series of announcements over the tannoy to get people to sit down during the first half. These were totally ignored, and this is what the club will use, along with the policing costs (which were way way over the top) to ensure that the EE will never open again.

Robbored Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 My point is then why the presense of all the police.Its down to Avon and Somerset Constabularly.They insist on having their officers at AG if the EE is open because of the close proximity of the away fans - regardless of who the opposition is.The football club have no say in the matter.It cost the club £5500 in police fees today - just to open the EE.Some would say that money might have been better spent somwhere else.

Robbored Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 Or maybe the (estimated) 650 in the EE covered that expense?Lots of the fans in EE were ST holders who swopped their tickets.Plus, if the EE had not been opened most of the 650 would have gone elsewhere in the ground.The availabilty of the EE didn't add 650 to the attendence.
