My heart bleeds. More to the point, how did they get bangers in the ground?

Am on the train back up to London with a load of Palace fans (with tickets) who were penned outside for the game and then escorted straight back onto a train to London. They said a load of fans without tickets rushed the gates early and must have brought in the flares. They were left outside holding their tickets. Shambles.
Apparently a FireExit was forced and 200 ticketless fans got in. Presumably they were the ones with flares. I think we can all guess what colour clothing they were wearing.
Which meant that 200 Palace fans with tickets couldn't get in for safety reasons.
