This suggests that the club agreed with the way this game was policed.... I am not having a go at the Board T... all I was saying was do the owners know how the club is being run?
I have now completed an assessment of me visiting the Valley next season and have decided that if the club wish to kettle me and treat me like a criminal then ..... I do not wish to pay them for the privilege![]()
I agree with you 100%. You have every right not to be treated like a thug, an animal, or worse, like a Millwall fan. But Saturday was an example of what happens when muggy, plastic wannabes, light flares, smash seats and generally give it large on websites. The police read these sites and from this and the last match categorise the match, they gave this game high risk and as such all powers and responsibility was taken away from cafc and taken on by the police. The club have no say, or indeed, would be criminally and civil liable if they refused to take on board the recommendations for policing, safety, kick off, and train times. The police then can charge the club for the extra policing safe in the knowledge that by inconveniencing as many people as possible, the threat of violence is reduced and they won't have to answer the moans, it will be the club, they did there job well.. The cops bully the club into going along with anything it's decides, so as far as cafc were concerned they were coerced into making these seemingly strange decisions. It's like if a lion escapes from the zoo you don't let the locals out their homes until the lion is shot or caught. Same principle.
Don't blame the board, blame the new breed of tossers at cafc that light flares, wear skinny jeans with George formby haircuts. Millwall of course are just scumbags who can't be helped.
debacle?
