landford.saint Posted 11 February, 2010 Posted 11 February, 2010 At St. Marys this afternoon and the police are erecting a large metal fence to divide fans.. Spoke with cops who wer doing it and they were quite friendly. The cordon consists of 2 rows of metal walls about 25 feet apart. In the gap the police can freely pass. In the walls there are 2 or 3 doors/gates fRom which the 'snatch squads' can operate. The walls stretch from gas compund fencing to the walls of St. Marys between gates H and J. I asked who they got it from. They said it was theirs and was for used chem. hazard, nuclear incidents and public order situations. Totally over the top if you ask me.

I don't think so - leaves about 20 coppers to do other things then stand in between two sets of supporters. Seems sensible to me. I saw it and it looks like a mobile type thing that can be towed around...

Um Bongo Posted 11 February, 2010 Posted 11 February, 2010 Skates are a biological hazard. Exactly. I hope they have to walk through the tents and are disinfected before entering the stadium. Good move though.

So, is it like a 'Pompey only walk-way'?
RedArmy Posted 11 February, 2010 Posted 11 February, 2010 I saw it and it looks like a mobile type thing that can be towed around...Yup, saw them bringing it over the bridge this morning.
landford.saint Posted 11 February, 2010 Author Posted 11 February, 2010 Are you serious?! What a ****ing waste of public money that is! Hampshire OB being totally ridiculous as per usual. As useless as a choclate tea pot all they need to do is wander round the stadium or over the footbridge to go round it.
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 11 February, 2010 Posted 11 February, 2010 All the visiting skates should have jeyes fluid sheep dip before they get in,including the players and especially that urine smelling bell ringer
Evil Monkey Posted 11 February, 2010 Posted 11 February, 2010 Sounds expensive. I do hope Pompey are paying their share.
RedArmy Posted 11 February, 2010 Posted 11 February, 2010 Also, that only covers the northam side.......but everyone's gone to the itchen.
landford.saint Posted 11 February, 2010 Author Posted 11 February, 2010 Sounds expensive. I do hope Pompey are paying their share. If they spend all the profits on policing., Poopey wont get anything as their share ... That would be a shame.
dannysfc Posted 11 February, 2010 Posted 11 February, 2010 Also, that only covers the northam side.......but everyone's gone to the itchen. And that is where I will be RedArmy Mate !
lordswoodsaints Posted 11 February, 2010 Posted 11 February, 2010 All the real action won't happen in and around the ground,it will happen away from prying eyes and CCTV.
landford.saint Posted 11 February, 2010 Author Posted 11 February, 2010 And that is where I will be RedArmy Mate ! I'm block 41 right near to walk way. I'll be very near them, be able to smell the fish...
dannysfc Posted 11 February, 2010 Posted 11 February, 2010 I'm block 41 right near to walk way. I'll be very near them, be able to smell the fish... Cool and remember to take a Gas Mask with you to cover the smell and I am pretty sure that it probably will stink too !
northam soul Posted 11 February, 2010 Posted 11 February, 2010 And that is where I will be RedArmy Mate ! god help us all
Armitage Shanks Posted 11 February, 2010 Posted 11 February, 2010 i'm being a bit thick. Are you talking about this being actually in the ground ? i.e. between the fans so we can't see them from the side ?
Red Alert Posted 11 February, 2010 Posted 11 February, 2010 If they spend all the profits on policing., Poopey wont get anything as their share ... That would be a shame. I assume the A-Team wouldn't come cheap. If we can find them maybe NC could give them a call?
Tomobz Posted 11 February, 2010 Posted 11 February, 2010 i'm being a bit thick. Are you talking about this being actually in the ground ? i.e. between the fans so we can't see them from the side ? lol i will reply. no its being erected in the saints defence, it also can me known as ''wayne thomas''
Tomobz Posted 11 February, 2010 Posted 11 February, 2010 lol i will reply. no its being erected in the saints defence, it also can me known as ''wayne thomas'' lol i thought it was a brick wall being erected not a fence!
Saint_clark Posted 11 February, 2010 Posted 11 February, 2010 Replying to your own post? How depressing.
Saint_clark Posted 11 February, 2010 Posted 11 February, 2010 Replying to your own post? How depressing. Maybe he's got a dual personality.
oxfordshire_saint Posted 11 February, 2010 Posted 11 February, 2010 They need to put a decent amount of police in the concourse too, win lose or draw I can see them trying to trash the place.
Saint_clark Posted 11 February, 2010 Posted 11 February, 2010 They need to put a decent amount of police in the concourse too, win lose or draw I can see them trying to trash the place. I wonder if the catering staff in that area will be getting paid extra...
Legod Third Coming Posted 11 February, 2010 Posted 11 February, 2010 All the real action won't happen in and around the ground,it will happen away from prying eyes and CCTV. But for the sake of the local police, let's let them know where...
Griffo Posted 11 February, 2010 Posted 11 February, 2010 I wonder if the catering staff in that area will be getting paid extra... I wouldn't take anything under £100 an hour to do that job on Saturday. Man United fans at Barnsley robbed the bloody concourses and hit some of the bar staff..

FarehamRed Posted 11 February, 2010 Posted 11 February, 2010 They need to put a decent amount of police in the concourse too, win lose or draw I can see them trying to trash the place. We should deduct the costs of any repairs from their portion of the gate money.
latter day saint Posted 11 February, 2010 Posted 11 February, 2010 I wonder if the catering staff in that area will be getting paid extra... i hope they have a good p1ss in the beer before they serve it
dannysfc Posted 11 February, 2010 Posted 11 February, 2010 i hope they have a good p1ss in the beer before they serve it I just LOL'd at that one latter day saint Mate! I for one would Tbh!
StDunko Posted 11 February, 2010 Posted 11 February, 2010 i hope they have a good p1ss in the beer before they serve it It tastes like they do this at every game.
surrey1saint Posted 11 February, 2010 Posted 11 February, 2010 I'm block 41 right near to walk way. I'll be very near them, be able to smell the fish... I am as well right next to the netting!
dannysfc Posted 11 February, 2010 Posted 11 February, 2010 I am as well right next to the netting! Yeh I for one would have dreamt to be there or in the Northam for that game as I was in the Northam for the MK Dons game and that was mental but the Itchen will do for me Tbh !
Um Bongo Posted 11 February, 2010 Posted 11 February, 2010 I am as well right next to the netting! Same here. Going to be fun! Don't think anyone will be kicked out either for abuse/etc unless they try to get to the other fans.
StDunko Posted 11 February, 2010 Posted 11 February, 2010 I am as well right next to the netting! I wonder how many skates will get caught in the netting?
dannysfc Posted 11 February, 2010 Posted 11 February, 2010 I wonder how many skates will get caught in the netting? Hopefully all of them will get caught StDunko as that would make my day but we will see !
SFC Forever Posted 11 February, 2010 Posted 11 February, 2010 Would be a lot cheaper if we dug a great big hole and let them swim in it.
Griffo Posted 11 February, 2010 Posted 11 February, 2010 Yeh I for one would have dreamt to be there or in the Northam for that game as I was in the Northam for the MK Dons game and that was mental but the Itchen will do for me Tbh ! Itchen North will be far better than the Northam for this one.
dannysfc Posted 11 February, 2010 Posted 11 February, 2010 Itchen North will be far better than the Northam for this one. Yeh well I think all 3 stands bar one will be Mental anyway Mate !
UlsterSaint1 Posted 11 February, 2010 Posted 11 February, 2010 Yeh well I think all 3 stands bar one will be Mental anyway Mate ! Which one wont be mental?
Saint_clark Posted 11 February, 2010 Posted 11 February, 2010 Which one wont be mental? 80% of the Northam (i.e the Skate end).
dannysfc Posted 11 February, 2010 Posted 11 February, 2010 Which one wont be mental? Ahhh if you go to it on Saturday then you will see but they might perk up for this game though against the Skates Tbh so I may be wrong but we will see !
UlsterSaint1 Posted 11 February, 2010 Posted 11 February, 2010 80% of the Northam (i.e the Skate end). Good stuff.I thought people might be suggesting that the Chapel End might be quite.But for this one i dont think so.
Saint_clark Posted 11 February, 2010 Posted 11 February, 2010 Ahhh if you go to it on Saturday then you will see but they might perk up for this game though against the Skates Tbh so I may be wrong but we will see ! Definitely Ben, they will be lobbing their prawn sandwiches at the fishy f*ckers with all their might.
Saint_clark Posted 11 February, 2010 Posted 11 February, 2010 The Northam. No - we will be f*cking fanatic.
Griffo Posted 11 February, 2010 Posted 11 February, 2010 Chapel and the south parts of the Kingsland and Itchen will be the same as normal. Itchen North will be intense however.
