We had to stump up £3 more for the Rovers match and where were all these 'extra police' that had to be paid for, especially when our fans were being battered in the pub. It was just Bristol scum hiking the prices up due to high demand for tickets.
Just look at Hereford; coppers everywhere it must have cost them a fortune - 100s more copers than at Bristol and did we have to take the cost NO.
Fuck off Bristol Rovers, you're not fit to share our ground

to be fair the helicoptor in the air for 6/7 hours and police escorts at say £30 an hour a copper must have added up.

The police that were there did nothing. They must be pissing themselves at the overtime money they received for doing nothing.

they charged US extra, so they could get in extra police to stop their fans getting on the pitch.
Thats all they wanted, and thats what they did

The police did what they always do, i.e. surround one of the two firms(normally the away team's), and prevent major incidents around the ground. It's what they've been doing for years in this country and it's largely very effective, even Saturday on these points they did their jobs.
The police wouldn't expect something like what happened at The Inn on The Green, so you can't really blame them for that. Where they did fail is letting that group get away, at the very least they should have section 60'd them so they could be identified later.

Something they put in force in areas of potential large-scale disorder, where they can basically stop anyone to get their name, search them for offensive weapons and take of photograph of them.
If they'd have done that and taken witnesses details at the scene, then they'd have something to go on. They've got away with it now.

From what I understand you can't identify people under section 60 only search them. The police have the power to search you for weapons (and dangerous instruments). They have no other powers under S60. They can only detain you "for as long as necessary to carry out a search". |

When you are sectioned 60 they usually take your details, search you for weapos and other things. Go through your wallets etc.
Quite a powerful thing

Quite a powerful thing But you're entitled to refuse them to take your details - they are only allowed to search your wallet for dangerous items not take your details. |

Have you ever been stopped at a footy match? Football fans are treated like scum (ok saturday they were) but if you argue or get a bit cocky you wouldnt stand a chance

You may well be right, although they have always used it that way in the past because they are fully aware people don't know their rights. Also, as a friend of mine who's always moaning about having it happen to him said, "It's easier to just give them your name". Now I'm not advocating the police being heavy handed or abusing their position, but they certainly could have got something on them.

All of us on the minibuses to Hereford were S60'd as we got off the minibus which seemed pretty absurd.
Interesting that you can refuse to give them your details, when I stalled over giving my details after I got turfed out at Hereford I was threatened with arrest.
Nice.

I had it happen to me. They didnt search my wallet at first. But when it came to taking details they took my wallet and got all the details off my driving licence. 2 of them pinned me to a wall while the search was carried out. The pigs treat you like scum at a football match.
