   Post subject: Police at Swindon station last night

We as a 2 families 3 adults and 3 children took the girls to Wembley in hope of winning our dream to Championship it didnt happen as many of us were feeling gutted we didn't get there !. Trying to keep our spirits up for the sake of the kids . Who cried at Wembley, We caught the 19.30 Train home from paddington feeling very dissapointed about our loss. Our girls started singing on the train " Swindon till I die " ! keeping up good spirit. 4 lovely lads were sat at a table opposite us and joined in with the singing everyone feeling the atmosphere on the train chanting our Swindon songs we all felt so proud to be Swindon town fans ! Then in walks in a Lady ( if thats what we can call her ) British Transport Police . Warning our girls first to stop singing or they would be kicked off from the train ! Walked over to the lads and told them we are not to sing on the train as it unfair for other people to listen to us singing as not all people on the train had been to the Football game. We all stopped singing including the 4 lads who were sat near us . Telling the the LOVELY LADY NOT ! That we really wasnt causing any harm to others just wanted to sing our Swindon Town songs as we were all so gutted about losing to Wembley ! . I and my husband heard her tell another British Transport officer that she would wait until they got to swindon before doing anything about the lads . On way home we didnt sing but was chatting and generally having a good laugh about our day . Getting to Swindon town train station 4 lads were escorted by 2 officers off the train and informed us to get off the train a different way ! One police officer was stood right next to my youngest daughter who was 11 years old and she couldnt get off the train he was in the way . My friend was very polite and said excuse me please can we get out , He shouted at her telling her he would let her move in a minute which scared my youngest . My friend told the officer not to shout like that !. We all got off the train to loads of police officers on the platform with 2 of the lads pinned to the floor by police officers Everyone on the platform including our children and other families could not believe how rough and forceful the police were being all for singing on a train !!!!! ... Many people on platform were telling the coppers that it was unfair and they were being far too rough on the lads . One lad even told an officer himself that it was unfair only to be pushed by a copper then very roughly forced to the ground by 2 other coppers Both my girls at this point crying with fear of what they were seeing . I have always told my girls to respect the police they are there to help you and not to be scared of them in anyway ! Unfortunatly now both my girls are shocked that the police can treat people like that for just singing . We as many others on the platform were so disgusted with what we witnessed.

Funny how dozens of cops can be heavy handed on a few pissed up town fans but there colleagues up north can let a gunman roam for fucking hours without tracking him.......strange that.

I think you've all got the wrong end of the stick, if you Google the contact number they've given you'll find it's actually for the British Transport Police COMPLAINTS department.

On Saturday 29th May 2010 at approximately 8.30pm, following the League One Play Off Final between Swindon Town Football Club and Millwall Football Club, disorder occurred on Platform Four of Swindon Railway Station

Come on fella that was out of order. No one could've done anything about that bloke.

Does this make Spence a witness?

I wonder if this is the above incident, and whether in fact she complained.

Im a bit paranoid about this,last thing I remember was a Pub at Paddington.I didnt wake up with any injuries and im usually a happy drunk so hopefully it wasnt me.

Try to keep up at the back :)

It was 29th of the month - anyone knows if arrest figures are down for that month it's dangerous to go near coppers towards the end of the month just in case they need to meet their targets.

Oh yeh I see it - good work.

I saw a STFC programme from last season with swindon turned upside down towards me and the lettering just leapt out . I've been trying to register on here for weeks (since way before Wembley) but whoever your administrator is is a joke! 's only coz I kept badgering I got on at all. I almost went back to rivals.

You would have had a hard job as Rivals has been gone for a good while now.

Clever user name though.

Why didn't the TEF guvnors want you? Are you on some sort of list, you sick fuck? Do you get aroused when cats turn around and show you their  [url width=107 height=120]http://i753.photobucket.com/albums/xx179/onefinfitton/images.jpg[/url] ??

As a kid I like typing in 58008 on a calculator and looking at it upside down - snigger.

Do they need witnesses for the total fucked up Police operation in the Coach Car Park afterwards?

I'll witness that as ours was the first minibus the chavs came across after the game while the 2 coppers chatted to each other.

fred you need to cheer up a bit

I'm of the view that highlighting such posts every single time just makes the 'problem' seem more profound than it really is.

What exactly so wrong with the original post anyway? If it's a misguided opinion then counter it with a rational and reasonable argument. If you find it too stupid to comprehend then ignore it, it will soon get lost with the plentiful replies which happen in such threads. Shouting down people and telling them to piss off to a different forum is just as bad as the posts you're deriding.

If the place is going downhill it's not because of new forum members, it's because of existing members not putting enough in to encourage keeping it fresh. Indeed putting people off contributing is only going to compound the problem.

Personally I don't think the forum has gone downhill at all. There's plenty of people contributing - old and new members alike - and there's plenty of new threads every day. My only criticism is that we all seem to take ourselves too seriously now and again. But then you get the odd gems still, for example KoT has sorted out the Stunners thing and it's been great so far.

Plus you can call everybody a cunt on here. It's actually pretty fucking ace.

I think the tef currently is the best its ever been, loads more posters, getting people coming on from other clubs, basically this is THE forum of stfc.

My only criticism is that some people post needlessly long messages which say fuck all and leave you wondering why you wasted five minutes of your life, that you'll never get back, reading them.

ive been tongolese too long, mex is back, ole!

That means that you're from the same country as Salma Hayek, so if I was to bugger you, would that mean that I've more-or-less shagged her? If so, can I please?

He's from Brighton, so you never know.

You mis-spelled OIL. Which kind of negates the point of it. Snigger, snigger
