2,000 visiting Blunts barmies on the piss all day in Cleethorpes, trashing it. Expect Humberside Police to have arrested a few home fans then.
£15 worth of damage. Outraged calls to RH all morning. Calls to close all pubs in GY on match days. Humbersides 2nd in command on air said he had a 100 officers on duty and the police helicopter, said they had no advance intelligence of potential trouble. DB said everyone in football knew that 2,000 visiting fans to a seaside on summers afternoon might cause a problem or two. That one was swerved.
Don't let's forget that this is the failing police force that claimed there was no history of trouble at City- Boro games, and whose response to trouble at that game was to close all pubs on Anlaby Rd for the visit of .......Southend Utd. So expect Humbs OB to grasp the nettle and close all pubs in Cleethorpes and be on high alert for the night game v Exeter.
Sheffield fans causing trouble in GY. Who knew? Every **** except Humbs OB it seems. Remember as a bairn hearing Charles Ekberg on Mudbank broadcasting a mayday from Blundell Park as the Owls stormed the Pontoon End and brought the High St to a standstill.
The fishy people have a nasty reputation around non-league - 1000+ ''Shoreham Boys'' boozing and giving it large around Cleggy will have been a bit of an eye-opener for their younger element.
I see that Geordie spokesman for Humbs police is playing the 'stretched resources' card as City were at Scunny. GTFC blaming the coppers- not a wise move, as they can very vindictive as we have found out over the years. They all know the jackpot is policing cash rich City in the PL, and policing GY is a non earner.
