We won at a canter with a full reserve team, certainly shows how the squad depth has improved. Before the window I said we needed back up for Robbo, seemed we had the guy in the building all along! Well done to Pennock and Brucey.
Spot on, they gave it the big one from behind a gate with a line of police between them, if they'd have really wanted a fight they could have just climbed onto the pitch and around the gate like the fans did in the other corner. Shame they couldn't direct that energy towards supporting the team because I thought the atmosphere was actually a little disappointing on Saturday.
Very nicely summed up by Amber Nectar - Honestly, the menace created by the two sets of opposing children in the south east corner just before kick off, and after Akpom’s penalty, was pathetic, both in intention and result. Loads of these pillocks on both sides buggered off before the end of the game, so the “see you outside afterwards” tone they were trying to convey became somewhat less important compared to missing the traffic and getting home to mum.
Just to confirm. When it first got a little silly the gate was unlocked & would have been breached had it not been for the supersonic strength of a couple of stewards who held firm until reinforcements arrived.
That and the fact neither sets of fans actually wanted to get through, they just wanted to look tough behind the safety of a fence and the stewards.
