Hereford's relegation due to STFC's away following claims Graham Turner!

ahhhhh Hereford away - when me and Zoe got shoved againist the wall by chavs trying to wind up the police and have a fight

As I understand it. The Police grade each game according to the history of the visiting club. They also  consider the history between the two clubs. General history of the visiting supporters for that season and the projected number of visiting supporters expected.

I know that games have been down graded when ticket sales at the visiting clubs do not reach expectations. This often happens when Saturday games are rescheduled to mid week after weather postponements.

During the week leading up to a Saturday game a briefing is held at the Police Station which I think involves the Stadium Safety Officer who runs the team from the control box at the side of the Town End. I think he can have some say on the level of Policing at this stage - needless to say they don't have to listen to his objections if he believes they have gone over the top.. 

I remember standing outside the Exec Entrance when we played Millwall.. One of their Directors came out with a Exec Area Steward.. He let him know exactly what he thought of the policing levels.. He admitted that it would have been right for Millwall 6 - 7 years ago but not now!

The game at Hereford in the Lge 2 promotion year was absolutely disgraceful behaviour by the police - West Mercia and reinforcements from Cardiff. The crush caused by their mismanagement at the back of the away end meant that young children had to be pulled out over a 8ft high fence to avoid serious injury.

The march back to the rail station ended with Town fans being penned in a very small fenced off area, and even though not everyone was travelling home via Cardiff (me included), they would not let people out to catch their respective trains.

In the end we had to take the law into our own hands by constantly surging at the police blockade until we burst out on to the platform. Up yours copper!

That game should never have been switched to a friday night.

West Murcia dont seem to like us very much.

The game in the promotion year (with the major police incompetence and the rail station incident) was on a Saturday afternoon towards the and of the season and was 0-0.

The game in 08/09 was a Friday night and was very close to the JPT midweek game also at Hereford.

As someone once said to me, it's like going to the West End of London to see a show and on arrival the Bill saying 'right, all those going to see Les Miserable go in this pub, all those going to see Joseph in that pub' etc etc and being under the threat of arrest if you don't comply.

[Mexicano Rojo]

Evil BNP thugs queue up to heckle the ridicule of Nazis in The Sound of Music - which incidentally was filmed in the area where STFC are on tour this summer - did you know they were going to Austria?


To the tune of Eidelweis:

'Dennis Wise, Dennis Wise
Thought going to Leeds was clever;

Dennis Wise, Dennis Wise
Now Leeds are League One forever.'

or there's Climb every League Table

and G for Greer, Gor-don Greer...

any more...

Who in the world is Graham Greer?

Didn't he write a book called Brighton Rock....a morality tale, in which the anti hero Pinkie Brown...shows how he got his name, by doing traditional Brighton things with a stick of traditional Brighton confectionery.

I really liked the film. The opening rollercoaster scene is impressive given it was done in 1947.
