The police did a superb job.

Assuming you are not being sarcastic, I'd have to agree.
Was a bit concerned about taking my kids to their first ever proper derby match but it was no problem...... apart from them now blaming themselves for us losing for the first time since the stone age

The only thing the police did wrong was try and walk that crazy Town fan out in front of the Pox supporters as opposed to be taken out the nearest exit!

Agreed

and the fact that only 7 people have been charged on what could have been a tinderbox is testament to both the police and the fans, and for the Adver to go all menstrual about it is fucking pathetic

Any damage to the Broad Green area would be an improvement anyway

was he an actual Town fan? as the adver said that a Oxford man had been arrested for invading the pitch, he was the only idiot I saw get on the pitch.

I was sat next to some right f'ing numpty, a ginger streak of piss in an Armani Jeans hat telling everyone how he had a carving knife stashed outside he literally watched none of the game as all he did was look at Oxford fans the whole game, tosser.

This

Was it Jamie Oliver ?

That was brilliant! He got soaked and pelted.

He's from Blackbird Leys, hence the "Oxford man" bit, but is a Swindon fan. The stewards (from Aldershot apparently?) on the Stratton Bank were taking bets on how long until he made a go for it.

To add to this

This, coupled with last night's front page, is exactly why the township will never ever get behind STFC


The glorification by the hacks at the Adver of what basically was a non event will always give a solid and stable platform to the bleeding hearts and NIMBY brigade.

Completely uncalled for and damaging editorial licence ..........................yest again

i saw old bill hitting people in the head from behind. These were town fans, yet the scum who tried to break through just got pushed back into the pack. Do i care? no, but it happened nonetheless.

Why do away fans get let out at the same time as home fans nowdays as a matter of course? Never used to and it enabled home fans to disperse

I think you should write a letter.

I saw the  police smack one scummer as they tried to break through. Was also surprised they were let out the same time, thought they woildve kepth them in 30 mins or so

I wondered about this until a mate, who is a copper in London, told me it was to do with human rights legislation! There now has to be a serious disorder/riot situation taking place, rather than possibly taking place, to hold people against their will apparently. Most forces are shit scared of legal action etc so let everyone out unless it's clearly immediately going to kick off outside. Crazy.

Human Rights legislation doesn't apply to football fans, didn't you read the small print?

Why do the names Karen and Kevin Leakey ring a bell? Have they been involved with something related to the club before?

Yes mate

Cast your mind back to the old Trust days

They also participated in the redevelopment proposals if my very old memory serves me right

I beleive one of them is a tory councillor and the other stood but got defeated but is head of the the broadgreen nimby committee

What is the club supposed to do about it anyway? If you don't want the very occasional bit of grief outside your house on a match day, I would suggest not buying a house near a football league ground.

I really hope that Wray stands up at the meeting and tells the residents that if they give him any more shit he'll turn the car park over to our friends from the travelling community (I think that's how we must refer to them these days).

Agreed. They really are ungrateful fuckers as the pictures show Town fans defending Broad Street from the Scum.It was so hostile that you had husband and wife stood outside their front door watching the police horse and wagon. Fuck me, how unsafe were they.
The ground has been there for fucking ages. Hoolies have been around since the late 60's. Don't buy a fucking house there if it bothers you.
The police did a cracking job on Sunday but stupid cunts still find something to moan about.

Ha ha, that's exactly what I thought when I read the article "the good thing was that all the residents came out of their houses".  Sorry?  It was hardly running riots then if people were happy to risk having a nose outside.  Ridiculous.

Some, not all, of the residents were coming out and getting involved.

You were there then I take it Crispy, can we expect a video montage soon?
:-)

I was too busy getting trampled by police horses to get the camera out im afraid.

Crispy = beechers brook  :)
