Should high profile games be played behind closed doors?

[crodonilson]

After the sickening violence seen last night, is it time that police intellegence on games which have the potential for large scale violence like last night are played behind closed doors?

 

[8ace]

No.

 

[bhafc99]

No.

 

[wehatepalace]

No of course not ! Don't forget you thermos flask and tartan blanket on Friday will you.

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

No.

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

Yeah right, Most of the VIOLENCE WAS OUTSIDE LAST NIGHT. All the big rucks happen outside and away from the ground in general........... look at the trouble in Town when Brighton ambushed leeds Utd.

Stupid idea sorry

 

[beorhthelm]

no. the police intelligence should arrange to avoid the trouble.

What next, certain teams cant play each other, give a default 1-0 home win if they are drawn to play?

 

[Napper]

Go to the theartre if you don't like it.

Wonder if any other football forum has the amount of nancys bleating like ours is.

Get some back bone people

 

[HG201]

No, one of the worst ideas i have ever heard!! What if palace away had been behind closed doors, would you have enjoyed that more?

 

[Dirk lovelace]

"police intellegence" is that an oxymoron?

dude u need to get out more and stop crying about what happened last night - its f***ing football - thats what happens.

 

[sten_super]

Yes.

I'm genuinely shocked at the responses to this thread; particularly 'its part of football'. NO IT ISN'T. It was part of football in the 70s and 80s. Are you happy to bring back rampant racism as well?

I think you need to look around you, neither went away and never will. Not that i agree with either.

Without wanting to divert the blame from the knuckle-draggers last night, i think the relevent authorities need to have a damn good look at themselves with this one.

They (police, FA, both clubs) should've known what was going to happen....because everyone else did and instead of playing the game at midday on a tuesday, playing behing closed doors or banning away supporters, what do they do ? they give Millwall another 1,000 tickets !!!

f***ing priceless

 

[Gritt23]

No, don't be so ridiculous.


Jevs - the amount of Millwall fans didn't make any difference to what happened in the ground (from what I've seen), as the West Sham boys were fighting the stewards and police rather than Millwall fans.

You are right, although the scenes last night were particuarly bad examples. I just think it's all a bit sad, is all.

who said that? anyway, playing behind closed doors isnt the answer if groups of "fans" still go to the area surrounding the ground to have a fight.

 

[crodonilson]

At the very least I think there should be severe restrictions put in place on these games, limiting capacity so that these games take place at 11am on a Sunday and away fans are banned.

We can't have these people ruining our beautiful game, there is no place for this in football.

stay down in Dorset with your head up your arse, stay away from such games if you're that worried
