Met Police wanted to ban Albion fans?

[wellquickwoody]

According to the Argus -

The Met Police were considering not allowing Albion fans to any potential play off semi away leg between us and Palace due to trouble at the last game. This is why the Albion agreed to the strict conditions of ticket sales, ID requirements and banning orders.

What do the Met do when Wet Sham and Milwall meet? When Cardiff go to Chelsea next year? Spurs v Arsenal etc etc?

Ridiculously over the top reaction. I have never wanted to meet Palace in the play offs as there is too much to lose, but google the Met, I hope we meet Palace at Wembley and they have to police that instead, with 40,000 from each side, now earn ya money!

It ain't their call, thankfully

Are we treating them as shite when they (if) they come to us. Hope they are not allowed into Brighton at all, frog matched from the station straight to Falmer and then away again. Hereded like sheep. Keep in for 2 hours after and not allowed to drink beer at all. Sod em.

The met police are the ones who usually cause a lot of the trouble with their over the top heavy handed policing techniques.

Would be a shame if we did. It's not the fans that are laying these rules down.

But having said that, I guess it will be tit for tat.

are the argus just making things up now? are you just blindingly believing it?

The Met are being fiancially strapped by the government, if they had got away with banning Albion fans it would saved them a lump of money. Sadly there are a bunch of absolute Googles out there who Bing it up for the rest of us. Don't blame the police or the clubs, blame the pathetic tuurds who can't control themselves over a game of football.

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

Or does it mean the Albion - Palace rivalry is one of the more fierce rivalries in football now a days?

 

[Kuipers Supporters Club]

We should thank Sussex police for restricting the extra steps the Met wanted to take.

Hardly out fault the MET are a bunch of imbeciles. Grow up.

This with big shiny bells on, they were goading and generally making a situation out of nothing at the end of the game in December

Lazy and arrogant, from public servants who forget they are public servants.

Yup, very this. All this effort for a bunch of pathetic low intellect losers who cam't control themselves

 

[Norman Baker suck my lozenge]

I expect they'd much rather be beating to death newspaper sellers or murdering Brazilians than dealing with football fans.

Is the right answer.

So, trouble only kicks off because the police incite and goad it? BULLSHIT.

If you attend a game, behave yourself and are polite have you noticed that you never seem to encounter any problems at all, amazing that isn't it. I do not like being herded about after a game at Selhurst but the police are doing it to reduce problems and protect good fans that just want to get away and get home without pretending to be some stupid Danny Dyer wannabe.

Correct.

I well remember the Shoreham protests against the veal trucks some 20-odd years ago. Sussex police were great but when a few nutters turned up and smashed a couple of windows the mets turned up in large numbers, full riot gear and proceeded to baton charge everyone, women, elderly and children alike. This continued for the next few nights, even after the rent-a-mob had buggered off somewhere else. Sussex police would mingle and were firm but fair, Mets would line up with shields dressed up like robocop wannabees, one tic away from a full charge. I've always been wary of the mets since then, there was no justification for that heavy-handed approach.
