Why so many police?

I have not seen that many police at a City match for some thirty years. Why?

 

Not easy to get tickets. Match was sold out?

 

There was a lot of empty stuff on other forums.

They brought nothing..

 

I think the antics that went on at the County Ground when we were apparently taunted by sections of the crowd and team might have had a big affect on the decision. A lot of anger was going around about the sending off, and subsequent happenings, that perhaps there was some belief that retribution of some kind was a possibility.

Better to be safe than sorry.

 

So they were masquerading as the cops to get in the ground ?
Is that you're saying ?

Actually quite a good idea

 

There are plenty of nutters in both sets of fans and it was incredibly hostile last night!

 

Spot on Mike

 

Not really on both counts. Swindon have barely had many nutters even in the eighties and Ashton Gate was a lot noisier but not so hostile.

 

it was actually the Swindon team.... the only safe way to get in and out!
