The OP alleged that Stoke fans "smashed the bar up, pool table fucked and all the trophies that have been there for years smashed..." The initial reaction was in direct response to this level of detail. If it didn't happen then there's nothing for the bread-chuckers to get all offended about other than the OP's exaggeration... I was in the pub and bollocked a few kids, they were lining glasses up on pool table, and whacking balls at them.pool table was fuked, covered in bread glass and booze.they were also stamping on trophies that have probably been in the pub for years..bunch of little pricks So it appears that the OP was pretty accurate in his assessment of the situation.

I was also stood near the bar enjoying a sing song and then it went a tad ott with lads smashing pool balls at glasses and stamping on trophies, a couple of us had a word with the lanlord, Nigel, and apologised on behalf of the supporters, he was ok and said 95% of the fans were excellent and he appreciated the behaviour. Just that minority took it a tad too far. The pub wasn't smashed up but the pool table was in a bit of a mess as said above.

I read the first few mails on this thread with some hope that things had changed. Everyone condemned what had apparently happened in Doncaster but lo and beholdl about 4 pages in the white washing begins. There is no excuse for this behaviour. Apparently if you open your doors as a pub landlord it is totally unreasonable to be miffed if your pool table and trophies are wrecked because you are selling a load of beer.
The away day experience was ruined for me a long time ago by the behaviour of our fans and sadly nothing changes. However well done to those who did condemn this behaviour on this thread and if money is being raised to try and improve our image count me in.
Unfortunately once again our clubs reputation is dragged through the mud.

The Palfreys is my local and I kind of pushed for you all to go there because I knew it would be suitable. I've spoken to the landlord, he loved having you all there, and didn't let the minority spoil a great atmosphere. So all im saying is he had a great day with you all, so don't worry too much about it.

what songs were playing on the jukebox? i think that may have played a part in influencing the behaviour. Ive heard it was a bit of Nick Lowe which kicked things off

Spot on Marwood, as Ive said before the bar staff were filming it all on their phones smiling!
I'm sure it will be on social media somewhere.

And it seems so odd to me 3 people have hung themselves there, it's like the place is cursed or something!
