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! There was a load of police at Stoke station at around 11 am with about 50 'lads' that they had corralled just outside the station entrance. They didn't look favourites for a Spode museum visit to be honest.

Plod probably started the rumour about it kicking off to get some Christmas overtime in. They donāt seem to have the numbers if you glue your face to the M25 mind. Pathetic. Ooh. Just for your information, Staffordshire police donāt police the M25; hope this helpsš

Interesting comment about the "only problem at Stoke is the police"

We weren't allowed off the North car park until 5.30. Stewards said it was because of an ongoing incident on Stanley Matthews Way. They did allow an ambulance with flashing light out at about ten past so I assumed it was a medical incident but when we eventually got off the car park there was a huge police presence round the roundabouts and away car park exits. Obviously brought in for an emergency as there's not usually anywhere near that number. Felt sorry for people sat on the coaches on the car park - breeding ground for virus I would have thought.

I caught the train back to Stockport which was the same train as the āBoro fans.
Was expecting a grim train home as plenty of police by station and on platform. When āBoro fans finally arrived, didnāt spot any likely lads or trouble makers amongst them at all. There wasnāt even a sense of a hostile atmosphere as they all waited for the train.
Very strange.

My point is the police force in general are fucking useless and pick their targets carefully - football fans and motorists are fair gameā¦environmentalists and BLM, well not so much. Hope this helps, officer.

Plenty of Boro, mainly middle aged on our trains from/to Leeds via Manchester and they were ok with the 3 of us. Something kicked off in Leeds station though involving some disembarking from the Manch to Redcar train but doubt it would be Boro.

Your heroes, the police, really do treat everyone equally. We know that as football fans donāt we.

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. What sort of box was it, and did you recycle upon exit?

I think this explains itš The geriatric coke-heads who think they're in the 80s had a day out yesterday. If I know then obviously the coppers knew, well in advance. To be honest, this exactly what they want: a police presence that they claim shows how scared they are of Boro fans yet nothing happened and was never going to happen. I used to like to read their forum just for a giggle but then I realised how pathetic it all is considering theyre all over 50.

Apparently it was on the front of the sentinel the other day saying they are putting all the speed cameras back in operation for over the Christmas period. Wonder what that's for? Good luck with getting your coffers topped up police, Stoke is still at a stand still with all the roadworks š

As a club unfortunately they're tarred by the tools who follow them whether geriatric or juvenile... it has a familiar ring to it. Sounds like the Boro fans have been having a moan about their away supporter behaviour.

Remember the baton wielding Police were beaten back by Hungarian fans with fists and open palms. There has been a small resurgence of football violence and I think police inaction that we see on television must be encouraging this as yobs just see the Police running away.
