There were a few lads wandering around before the game. I suppose they had intelligence that a few lads were making the trip.

I came on the train from Stafford.
Never seen that much police on a matchday in a very long time.
They were roaming around in twos around the town centre before the game.
Must have expected their lads to have a go today.

I was in the White Star, no fighting at all. We only went in for 1. But never saw any trouble ourselves just lots of police. |

Been in a box today, but on the way out I've not seen that many OB outside the A end for a very long time.
Didn't get close to the Boro fans, but despite bringing reasonable numbers that was a beyond pathetic A following. Can't say I heard them once.

I objected to the fact that it took 40 minutes to start allowing cars off the car park. Quite ridiculous and frustrating when you have a 320 mile return trip.

Plod probably started the rumour about it kicking off to get some Christmas overtime in. They don’t seem to have the numbers if you glue your face to the M25 mind. Pathetic.

Quite a few Police in Stoke before.
Saw some blokes, maybe wrong but I assume a handful of Boro, get put in a Police car outside Spoons and had some lovely hospitality driven back towards the station. They weren't being collared. All of them trying to find a space in the back seat!
Makes me think, does any other ground you've been to have the same kind of warning and hospitality at a train station as we give?!
I've been to quite a few destinations like most and never had such "friendly" constabulary on landing!

On a similar topic. I saw a double decker bus being escorted to the Brit at about 1.20 I assume straight from the train? Not a chance you'd get me on one that early, or at all on arriving for an A game.
I get it's not the best A day, next to no choice in pubs, dreary options in the main and not exactly welcoming to groups of A fans. However, where there's a will there's a way.

Was quite a bit of naughtiness after the game apparently. I think someone mentioned down by the Gardeners pub, not sure if true or not.

Vaguely heard some announcement in the stadium saying that fans should remain in their seats. The announcement was way too quiet and should seriously be looked at by the club, if it was a 'real' serious problem for example a terrorist attack then we all would have been screwed cause of the lack of clarity.

It was for away fans only as there was an ongoing incident in the stadium, I assumed it was a medical emergency in the concourse at their end. |
