    West Ham aren't liable unless it was inside the ground or just outside the ground because of their failures. You can't be held responsible for everything even if it is connected to the fact that a match is on. However, the FA and EPL should ask for a report even if they have no power to punish.

    This is the very point I was making - how can they say it is nothing to do with them until they know the circumstances? There was reported trouble inside the ground and some accounts suggest turnstiles remained closed until 1 hour before original kick off time, despite a large crowd outside. I think I would want to investigate before making a 'nothing to do with me, Guv' statement. If it had happened at Elland Road or The New Den I am not sure they would be quite so Pontius Pilot about it!

    Any truth in the rumour that West Ham's shirt sponsor, next season, will be HMRC? :emoticon-0105-wink:

    Your comment reminds me of an incident at Pompey with the Saints team bus. A friend of mine was a steward at Fratton Park and was involved in trying to get the Saints coach away from the ground following the match (I think it was when we drew and Kevin Phillips missed a sitter). All the Pompey fans were hurling abuse so the police were facing them and trying to keep them under control when Beatts allegedly did a mooney at them out of the back window. It didn't help to calm things down, but my friend was cracked up (he's a Stoke City fan). Obvious.

    This, this, this. I couldn't have said it better. Sorry if you Spam likers don't agree but now living near Southend (WHU suburbs!) I find every part of their club, support, board, newsprint nauseating.

    Yeah & next year they're hardly paying for police inside the ground. Disgraceful all round IMO, esp. Gold (biggest twat in English football).

    Don't Saahfend have a club of their own? Once managed to disastrous effect by Bobby Moore I believe.

    Yeah I thought that too. I'm still Saints ST holder & I believe I've seen more Southend games than any of the Spammers round here.
