When the Gills fans left after 60mins, everyone in the CGH spilled out of the garden in mass. Title: violence? Post by: Arriba on Saturday, October 6, 2007, 21:08:41 were you in the arkells ville?

Evidently they didn't even actually go to the match if they were sat in the pub during it. Title: violence?

Don't these banning orders restrict them from the town or city the match is being played in too though? Title: violence?

Damn right....how much was the police bill, for a visit from a side with about 350 away fans....dog handlers, police helicopter etc. Its money we can't afford. Title: violence? Post by: Spencer_White on Sunday, October 7, 2007, 12:08:03 Theyve got a budget and they are going to spend it.
Having said that, the riot at their place didnt really have anything to do with people who usually go. On this occasion the cliche was right, these people really didnt like football, or at least not anymore. On the flip side, at a lot of games there are swindon fans who play up and thats that. You either police it or you dont. Title: violence?
