They're a bunch of animals

 

I'd have driven the coach to Anglesey and dumped them in the Irish Sea

id probs stick up for most other clubs in this situation but hate that set of ugly mongolian gary nevilles

 

Now "stuff eet off with yeh cheps up anley duck"

The FSF are after a statement from an apprentice in our place at the moment. He went to Doncaster on a minibus couple of weeks back and they were Section 27'd because one idiot fro the bus was too pissed to get into the ground. They ended up having to pay couriers to get their overnight bags shipped back from the hotel they were booked into as they were escorted as far as Mansfield.

Read that GG in the Mirror on saturday and they all missed the game.

 

The world has gone mad !

The FSF are really looking to get a campaign going with these cases

 

Watching-football-is-not-a-crime

So, a small mob or lads in a pub before a game causing no grief can be rounded up and sent wom under a S27 because the police think its might kick off.

 

I can live with that provided they also stop Muslims getting on planes becuase they might blow them up.

 

I wonder if they have the b?llocks to do that.

Same old story innit. Motorists and football supporters are easy touches. Then they wonder why many have no respect for them.

More of the same I'm afraid:

was with a Donny fan who is well in with the club yesterday - the indication is that the mini-bus had caused some trouble on the way there, that's why they were stopped

 

also added, though, that they play Wolves this weekend and the police have every intention of Sect 27 loads of Wolves fans - while this would be funny, the bigger picture is not good.

Two minibuses got turned out of donny. The lad I knew swears they had done nothing before arriving at the ground where four got invlolved in verbals with the stewards after one lad was refused entry.

Well picked up Joe, whats your soloution?

Successive authoritarian home secretaries have encouraged an increasingly disrespectful attitude in the police for the British public.

 

On Saturday I watched between 30 and 40 British Transport Police prepare for the arrival at Paddington Station of some football fans from the West Country. The fans were indistinguishable from the rest of the travelling public: they behaved impeccably. By far the most menacing presence at the station that day was the police who seemed to expect a major riot. The officers worked the crowd with a sniffer dog, randomly stopped young men and at the ticket barriers formed up in an aggressive line, arms folded, stony faced contempt for all those passing them.

 

I am sure this is nothing unusual but the hostility, which we are beginning to see at every legitimate gathering and demonstration these days, is oppressive, and it is likely to become a great deal more so with the announcement that 10,000 Taser guns are to be issued to the police.

 

What is new is the treatment of football fans from Stoke City a week ago. On the way to Old Trafford about 80 fans stopped off at the Old Railway Inn. According to the Football Supporters Federation (FSF) the atmosphere was relatively quiet. At 1.15 officers from the Greater Manchester Police arrived and told the fans that they were going be forcibly taken back to Stoke.

 

According to the FSF, each supporter was issued with a Section 27 from the Violent Crime Reduction Act of 2006, which allows police to move someone from a specified area for a period of up to 48 hours. You do not actually have to have committed any offence for the act to be enforced. Section 27 gives police the powers to move anybody, from any place, at anytime, if they believe there's a possibility that an alcohol related offence may be committed.

 

In this case the supporters were threatened with arrest if they did not sign the form issued to them, and were then returned to Stoke, regardless of the fact that many had not set out from the city. There was no compensation or apology offered.

 

Reports of this incident (to be found here and here) emphasise the good ? even boring ? behaviour of the fans. This quote from the FSF in the second site referred to is important. "Far too many fans are poorly treated by police, and far too few challenge their actions. You may read this and think, what's the problem? You've obviously never experienced it yourself then ? draconian and arbitrary treatment of football fans is widespread and we've got the mailbag to prove it. If anything, we think it's on the increase too. Don't just expect and accept this treatment otherwise it will get worse. We're always willing to fight your corner for you and would be pleased to help with any legitimate complaints out there."

 

The more general point is that constitutional rights to free assembly and free movement have been breached by the Greater Manchester Police using one of Labour's little noticed laws. Their behaviour was oppressive and disproportionate and if it goes unchallenged we will see a lot more use of Section 27 to prevent people travelling to legitimate gatherings.

Would they apply the same laws at such events such as Glastonbury?
