According to the adver

I thought the police did a good job on Saturday. Not too surprised that arrests were made though, especially given that a lot of people started drinking at 9am.

Doesn't really surprise me. SY saw couple of lads cutting up on the seat behind him in the ground.

The stewards were jobsworths. Wouldn't let me and Craig in saying "we drank too much" and to go to the chippy and drink a bottle of water and come back in 15 mins? WTF 15 mins is going to do nothing. Anyway we were perfectly fine, well we got the bottle of water and they went back and he said "You look a lot better" and let us in. He must have some sort of stake in the chippy or something even if we were tipsy no way 15 mins would make any difference.

the stewards were ace. especially chunk.

do the truffle shuffle is it?

Odd. The Adver makes it sounds like there was an all day riot. I saw nuffink.  :?

I didnt see anything either

Walking to the ground at about 2:25 from the racecourse direction it was like any other day you would not have even thought a match was on. The only people I saw were Town fans and no trouble, I can only guess it was in the town center.

Probably less to do with drink and more to do with something more organised.

Looking on the SAS site there's seems to have been a pre-planned incident behind a pub before the Police mass-arrested people

The Stewards were a bunch of cunts, i was in the aisle and told to move (which was fair enough) but i was stood right next to my seat and somebody was sitting in it, the steward then asked for the blokes ticket and i saw that they should have been 2 rows down but the steward still moved me and the others further down, fucking pricks.

yeah but you got to stand near me n sonic! happy days

But only for one half!  :(

do you remember the only ever time we'd been placed together spuddy? i'm fearful the ol' bill would have become involved again

 :mrgreen:

gillingham?

i'm surprised at the arrests, didn't seem like any trouble was about. felt a little uncomfortable at being called a cunt in one of the pubs we went in but a few of them were pretty friendly towards us as well.

what happened at swindon station then?

someone had a crap on the platform

   I did see a few casuals about on my pre match perambulation, but it all seemed pretty good natured,  32 arrests is probably more than Cheltenham's combined total for the last 2 seasons.

  OB did seem to have a fair presence, so perhaps they just wanted to alleviate the boredom.

The mystery of Bens random night is now solved.

Thats awful!

In all fairness I thought the OB in 'nam played it spot on, bit of lively banter but you knew not to step over the line

They were funny though.
