[Albion] Marseille fans

[Common as Mook]

Speaking as a relatively nervous Dad bringing my 8 year old to the game on Thursday - are there plans afoot to keep all Marseille fans together and then get them to the ground separately? AEK game no issues but slightly nervous after the Ajax issues at the station.
Obviously if I was on my own I'd be tooled up and steam right into them, but need to lead by example on this occasion

I'm pretty sure you will be fine. After all the horror stories being circulated before the campaign, all the games so far have passed with minimal issues from opposing fans. Just keep your wits about you, as you usually would, and enjoy the evening.

Whilst I've not seen any details yet I'd me incredibly surprised if they didn't keep them in the away end for a while after the final whistle.

 

[Husty]

Having been to all 3 away games, Marseille was by far the most intimidating. But how many of those homes fans driving around on scooters with machetes are likely to be travelling to the away games? Not many I’d guess. Probably will be fine.

They should be kept behind for 3 hours after the match without food or drink, and then bussed back to Brighton via Crawley.

I'd imagine the King & Queen will be used and a stricter use of the shuttles from there will be deployed. I'd expect a Palace level of policing for this one which should minimise any potential disorder.

Head up to the stadium as early as possible if you are concerned

Tear Gas too?

Tear Gas too?

Save the tear gas for the next time we play a Greek team.

 

[Clive Walker]

don't panic we have a got about 10 pubescent thicko's who talk the talk to keep us all safe. IM talking about the ones who say "ran from the Brighton" to Ajax fans from behind train doors when much ado about nothing occurred at brighton station.

Their fans are great. Literally the only good part about that shuttle between Joliette and Velodrome was zooming past all of them flipping the bird at us from their cars/mopeds - some very subtly and some ridiculously vociferously. It genuinely really made me chuckle and diverted my attention from the droning Sussex Whingebag behind me who was complaining about Marseilles Police and comparing it to his experience with England in '98.

 

[The Wookiee]

Have any landed yet ?
I guess a few might be around tonight terrorising the Christmas revellers out in Brighton

Agreed. I think we should all line the sides of the A27 sticking our fingers up at their coaches all along their journey to the Amex tomorrow night. They'll shit themselves.

 

[ManOfSussex]

Are any coming in via Newhaven?

via Crawley? Jeez. There's being cruel and there's being downright bleeding malicious

Was told at work 75% of the tickets have gone to UK based fans and 25% will travel, most of the Ultra groups like the 'commando ultras' are banned from travelling. They've been told the shuttle buses are optional but advised (much like us in Athens).

What, British?!

 

[Horses Arse]

Why has mooneying gone out of fashion? orget 'the bird' - we should line up and do a mass moony. It's underated

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

No just get Gully and his family out to greet them

 

[Bry Nylon]

Are any coming in via Newhaven?

Are any coming in via the Humber?

Then we could do a big banner saying, "Welcome to HULL."

Banned from travelling or banned from buying tickets?

They had plenty of herberts travel to their game in Amsterdam.
