Crowd control palace brighton

[Caveman]

Didn't have the chance to lock you in your ground did they? You'd all f***ing left with 10 minutes to go!

What goes around.....


(Plus the fact your fans didn't even turn up to your game judging by all the empty seats #Groupon)

That doesn't make sense though does it. We didn't get locked in, as we could leave.

And leave you certainly did !

 

[Springal]

And leave you certainly did !

At least we filled our game for a derby game.

 

[Ringmer Seagull]

I thought the policing arrangements at Selhurst worked pretty well (but then I am talking from an away fans perspective). On the other hand the policing when Palace came to the Amex was utterly shambolic.......that really does need to be looked at.

Yup I'd go along with that.

It was fun. Having bottles thrown at us from not 1 but 2 pubs.

Groupon, groupon,
With space in your stands
And you'll never fill
Your ground
You'll never fill
Your ground,

Groupon groupon....







And





Same old Palace
Always looting!

 

[JamesAndTheGiantHead]

The police actually diverted me and a mate into the Palace lot and wouldn't let us rejoin the Brighton fans, meaning we had to walk to the station with all that 'orrible rabble.

 

[Captain Sensible]

You stupid bastards, you burned down your town.

 

[patchamalbion]

fair play to Palace, metal gates or not i have never EVER seen a kettle fly through the air at us like it did just as the last of out lot were being led into the station after the game

 

[bn1&bn3 Albion]

"The fact no one was stabbed after the game, justified their police tactics."

What

 

[peterward]

What

it was a huge police success, nobody was stabbed, machine gunned down....... no improvised explosives went off, all hail the old bill and their metal wall

 

[Dave the OAP]

I was parked next to selhurst station and had to walk the opposite direction to the brighton fans, through the palace fans. That was entertaining.....

 

[AMEXican Wave]

And leave you certainly did !

Lot's didn't. I stayed for 3 beers after match.

 

[trueblue]

Never mind the metal wall (didn't even notice it). The dangerously overcrowded train the police forced us on to is why I doubt I'll go this year. It was rammed... Not just a bit busy like the Falmer ones but so full that I couldn't even lift my arms. And the first stop was a good half an hour down the line. I suppose they can claim that as a policing success and no doubt they'll be delighted if fewer fans travel this year, but if any other section of society was treated that way, there'd be uproar.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Did a piece on the chances of this game being moved by police etc to Sunday.

Turns out the metal wall is meant to be used to stop people moving between areas if the event of a chemical attack or nuclear fall-out...

Just have vision of the Palace fans walking around like the zombies in The Walking Dead.

 

[severnside gull]

After reading some of the pre-match hyperbole (from - literally - both sides of the fence) where people were openly bigging-up the prospect of violence, I can't see that the police have too many options - there WERE idiots threatening to go "tooled-up", whether they actually intended to do so or not (maybe they included "lol" in their posts - I don't recall). I can't think of any element of society other than football where threatening to assault someone would be not only condoned but actively and openly encouraged, largely without criticism. Sadly it is one of those situations where the (potential) sins of a very very few get visited on the majority.

This. Couldn't get my hands out my pocket until we reached Three Bridges, and was stuck in a carriage with a copper who had humour failure. Apart from that good night out.

I might get the coach this year, it's just more convenient. The train was a right royal pain last season.
