No need to get all sarcastic. Even in the 80s you would have seen more than what you are moaning about on Saturday, which was my point.
Not too sure what football violence in the 80's has got to do with a few pissed idiots at a Pre Season friendly? My point is quite simple, there is no need for it. We all like a beer, some can handle it better than others, I just dont really want my kids subjected to it, which is why i took them to a pre season friendly, rather than say, Rovers away. Sorry if my moaning offends you, that's the trouble with forums, they have a tendency to let you air your thoughts. |

Which is a bit like saying "I've seen six people murdered, so why are you moaning that your kids saw a bloke stabbed in the bum"? Both are bad things, one clearly worse to see than the other. You don't want your kids seeing either. I love a lot of things about football, and its history. Hooliganism isn't one of them. |

Right or wrong,if you go to football you will encounter idiots. Just something you need to accept

A pissed up lad on a stag do going on the pinch for ten seconds at a pre-season friendly in front of a few hundred people is hardly football hooliganism though is it? It's unfortunate that both stewards, Salisbury fans and it seems some sections of our fans have absolutely no sense of humour. There was no scuffle at all. Even 'pushing a steward in to a metal bar' is exaggerating what happened. The stewards were the aggressors, but realised they were severely outnumbered and got their marching orders. Had it been laughed off and taken with a pinch of salt, everyone would have carried on as normal. |

Agreed arriba, which is a judgement call everytime you take your kids to football. Its something I've started thinking about when my kids get to an age that I could take them (currently nearly two and nearly due) - but I think a pre-season friendly against a local non league team should be safe.
Plus - and this is very much a personal opinion - what a shit place to spend a stag do!

To be fair - I wasn't there, and you were so maybe I'm getting wound up over nothing. It seems a shame that any aggression on either side was present in this context - a pre-season friendly. However, I stick to the other point I made one post earlier - what a shit idea for a stag do! |

It's honestly no exaggeration, we must have been at a different game or something. I cant see how having a sense of humour makes any of this acceptable. If I jumped on to the pitch at The CG after a goal was scored I really don't think or expect it to be taken with a pinch of salt. We obviously all have different views on what is acceptable at a football match, personally I go for the football. I found it amusing when the neanderthals turned up, they got the atmosphere going, danced around and had plenty of banter with the Salisbury fans which is good, assault isn't. |

The Burgers were far better than Forest Greens, that probably swung it for them |

A pissed up lad entering the ground has done enough to get banned from attending matches in the eyes of the law. To then enter the pitch is another offence which again is a enough to get banned. To be ejected from the ground and left at that would have been alot less harsh than if old bill had dealt with it. |

I think we must have been, either that or have hugely different definitions of assault. |

I was 10 yards to the left of it, to grab someone is assault, are you telling me a steward was not grabbed at any point? |

Where I've grow up, in the real world, no to grab someone is not an assault. Just like when the stewards grabbed people prior to this, I'm sure no one would have been crying assault. |

In the real world that is an assault, not the most violent assault by any means, but in the eyes of the law, it is an assault, whether that fits in with your real world is neither here nor there. |

1. The steward was not assaulted, just told in no uncertain terms to fuck off.
2. The Salisbury fans started the abuse and then
Didn't like the response.
3. We left of our own accord as we were bored.
3a. We did not trash the Swindon town bus. Just had a picture taken on it and a few people sat in the drivers seat.
4. Sailsbury is a shit place for a stag do but a stag do is not about where u go it's about having a great day out with your best mates. To be honest everyone on the stag do has know each other for years and would run through brick walls for each other and all have a deep love for Swindon, booze and each other. People may very well be disgusted by certain behavior but I am hugely proud to call each and everyone one of them a good mate.
5. It was a great fucking day!
