Hi guys, what a day! Brilliant result and performance by the team. I was just wondering what happened in the Plymouth end near our supporters when all the police jumped into their stand? Me and my mates were just wondering. Cheers and CHAMPIONSHIP TIME!!!!!!!!! COYR
On the Echo site it says there was trouble after the goals because Saints fans in the home ends couldn't hold in their celebrations and the home supporters obviously couldn't handle relegation and jubilant Saints fans in their faces.
Few scuffles outside and in and around Plymouth too. Apparently a few bricks and other objects were thrown. I guess they don't like relegation...
Train station was fine and a bit of handbags in the Plymouth end where we were - shoosh but all told GREAT DAY OUT. VWS off to bed now .............
cheers for that. I live here at uni and was very tempted to go on a night out in my saints shirt but thought probably best not to haha
My girlfriend was by the scuffle. They left early cuz the plymouth fans were being "****s" (excuse my language). After the first goal a plymouth fan supposedly stood up near the front and said if there were any saints fans there, he would kill them. And after the second goal a guy cheered (but she doesn't think he was right in the head. She didnt think he was a saints fan either). The guy that did the threatening started jumping up the rows to get him and a group of them just starting kicking the **** out of the guy. Then the people involved in the fight changed their clothes quickly. ****ers.
I thought the Plymouth fans in the corner were spoiling for a fight from the start even before any goals had been scored. They seemed more concerned about provoking the Saints fans than supporting their own team. I can understand them being upset in the circumstances and they did get some unnecessary baiting from our fans, but they did provoke it in my opinion. What was inexcusable though was some rock throwing as we made our way out. A young girl in front of me was hit in the mouth by a rock the size of a tennis ball. Thankfully she didn't seem to be seriously hurt, but very shocked. I think it was an isolated incident, but it's no exagerration to say she could easily have been killed. For me it took the edge off what should have been a great day out. Yesterday was my second visit to Plymouth and both times their fans have been aggressive from the start. I'm glad we won't be playing them again for some time.
In the 5 years I have been in Plymouth I have got a lot of animosity from the Plymouth fans. They're a very aggressive bunch. And fishers pond. My favourite pub.
Thanks for that, I thought it was disgusting that the Plymouth fans stopped the police and stewards getting to the fan who was being beaten up. It really distracted from the game.
When i was getting on the coach to go back home, there were groups of teenagers shouting abuse and sticking fingers up and what not. They are just sore losers and i gave them a peice of my mind, im their age as well so it didnt look as wierd as a teenager and an adult arguing. However, some of them must have been as young as 12. Thugs.
They had just been relegated, plus I understand that at Exeter, some Plymouth lads got a bit of hiding there the same weekend, so they were never going to be in the best of moods.
Yeah i saw them as well. one was wearing red trackie bottoms. I shouted up the football league we go as i drove past them later on that day as i parked my car in the goals car park 2 mins up the road.
