Whilst its pretty funny I expect all that was found was a cracker and a bit of cocaine. Not exactly a top boys out was it. Maybe the knife was being used to cut some cake- unless it was a machete??

The no beers on a coach rule seems draconian... but fireworks, knives and class A drugs? Throw the book at them for that nonsense.

Why? fans do it up and down the country and we're all not boring non singing fans and if you hadn'nt notices that there are still some of us still around from the 70's 80's 90's who like a lads day out instead of reading the bible to away games.
The knife was to open the bottle of beers and was a camping knife not sone kind of flick knife.

Beers fine but I think the knife and the persil might of upset the local constabulary. As well as one of the pikey's doing his own impression of guy fawkes. Your right not crime of the century though.
