Northam Police

[Saintjersey]

What an absolute joke they were. Some pompey fan threw a coin at us and the police did nothing and when subsequently they were rightfully challenged by an older fan the police threatened to throw the older fan out unless he calmed down............. so much for being just and fair.

[Saint_Jonny]

Yer someone threw a coin at me (it hurt). I didnt complain about it cos theres **** all the stewards would have done about it, cos I have no idea which skate **** threw it.

[Joesaint]

Poopy wont last too long, then hopefully they will stay in there skate city!

[Dan]

If someone threw a coin at you, man up and throw it back.

[Soton7]

Talking about the old bill, I was walking near the african caribbean centre and there was a group of skates who managed to get away from the police who were escorting them to the train station. They were starting on all passers by and hit a few saints fan. I told the copper and they basically just shrugged their shoulders thinking what can I do...

 

Terrible.

 

The group were your typical skate caravan living, council estate c.unts

[gonzo]

You would think they would be better off throwing them at HMRC.

 

[sotonian]

had a coin hit me too, bit wastefull, i thought they needed all the money they could get

[daveygwyatt]

why are they chucking coins, surley they should be collecting them to save their tin pot club... see the board/directors/managers/and fans all wasteful with money

 

close the **** hole of a club and have done with it

[alpine_saint]

I just read on the Echo page that Hampshire's finest decided to let both sets of fans out at the same time after the game.

 

I wonder about the police sometimes....

Didn't look like it from where I was standing, but then if the Echo say it is true...

[eharty9]

haha love this! Thick ass skates.

[Golden Balls]

As we were walking out the police were making things a lot worse being total jobs worth.

Where were you standing ? In IKEA ?

[Huffton]

Where were you standing ? In IKEA ?

 

Very clever, I see what you did there. No, I was still queuing to get out as I sit quite high up in the ground, and the away end was still very full.

[Tractor_Saint]

Police did a damn good job. Hats off to them for today. No real major outbreaks of violence (although the press would have you believe different).

 

Well done to the OB.

Tip: Never throw a 2p or 10p coin at anyone, they have the trajectory of a beer mat. However a old style 50p or £1 coin are alot heavier, causing them to be more accurate, painful and damaging.

a £2 coin on the other hand is a great missile...it just starts to get a bit costly that's all ;-)

[Dog]

Go and get some chewing gum! LOL

Got hit by a couple of them in the Millwall game and they really hurt. Paid for a few beers though so happy days. Back to the OB though, when the inbreeders were pelting us in Itchen North with bottles, coins, chewing gum and other assorted projectiles, they were more interested in seeing where the retaliation was going to come from, even when one of them got hit by a coin.

not true. i went with 2 pompey mates, was waiting for them for at least 25 mins afterwards

[saintjinksie]

did anyone see that bloke in the pompey end (with the blue and white stripey) who ducked when we scored because he thought a torrent of loose change was coming his way! He got a bit tetchy before half time and ripped his shirt at the end of the game, compete pussy though.

[Dog]

They were probably noshing each other off in the bogs!!

 

Pompey mates, WTF is that about?

 

Going back to the question. Both sets of fans were released at the same time, the reason that your fish loving mates were late was because the police were holding the skates in the Northam car park, due to a fantastic air display coming from the right.

he had a hissy fit in the first half which just spurred us on

Yup I am going to play the big man and fight my way through the inbreds like superman...

 

Go back to Chichester me old mucker.

[for_heaven's_Saint]

Skates were spitting at us as we were celebrating our goal n police and stewards did sweet FA.

I'm Sorry to hear that for_heaven's_Saint Mate and fingers crossed that Skate Flu isn't really contagious lol !

[Thorpe-le-Saint]

The police in general were a joke yesterday - they are quoted on the BBC website as saying it was a 'good operation'...really?!?! One question I want to ask them is "Why the hell the skates were not kept in the ground until Saints fans had been cleared?" Hampshire OB = farce.

[ottery st mary]

One of the problems nowadays is that the Police are so young.....

[mrlibertine]

Hello scummers, I made about £3.50 from the change your boys were chucking at us in the away end. I spent it on a celebratory pint back in Pompey.

 

I had always thought you boys hated us, but buying me a pint in this way was very much appriecated and I Four One will never forget your kind hospitality

would have it been better to save the £3.50 and put it towards Poopey's tax bill.

 

BTW I thought the "I Four One " was very clever, did you get help?

 

Good luck for the future

That play on words is pretty good for a skate; were you educated in Southampton?

[Ken Tone]

not true. i went with 2 pompey mates, was waiting for them for at least 25 mins afterwards

 

Both sets of fans were let out at the same time, but the coaches didn't get away for about 30 mins. Your mates will have been held up in the car park outside the northam. Damn silly tactics from the police. Would have been much easier to control things with the pompey fans inside the ground, and clearing away most of the home fans first, like they would do at just about every other ground in the country.

 

Personally I was stuck in the car park directly opposite the ground for about 30 mins, looking at a completely empty road to the left (ie towards the Chapel end), but the stewards had been told not to let us out by the police until the coaches had moved, even though they were to the right. And then when they finally did open the gates we were told we had to turn left anyway!

 

Glad I wasn't parked in the Freeborn garage. Saints fans damaging other Saints fans' cars .. not good.

 

K.

[northam soul]

More to the point we were kept at the plume until 12.20 by the old bill so missed the first five minutes.

There must of been a few hundred people there jammed in the market place and all the old bill would say was we have to wait for orders before letting you go to the game.

All it did was make people more wound up and cause more grief.

[Alain Perrin]

To be fair what did you expect them to do?

 

Arrest anyone with a blue shirt with coins in their pockets? Unless you and independent witnesses could identify the perpetrator, there's nothing they could have done.

[Mao Cap]

had a coin hit me too, bit wastefull, i thought they needed all the money they could get

 

That occurred to me as well, 50p piece hit me, I picked it up and thought "See, that's the careless attitude to money that's got them where they are now...".

 

There's very little that can be done about chucking coins - they're practically invisible in flight, and even if coppers did identify someone throwing one then ejecting them would risk a mass brawl.

 

Right arsehole thing to do, though - throw something into a stand and it could hit anyone (the coin that hit me could easily have hit the 11-12 year old kids in front of me, for example). Far worse than having a fistfight with the enemy in my book.

It was even worse outside a pensioner in his 70's was struck by a brick thrown from a group of s*uthampton fans after the game.

[Saints foreva]

The Police in the Northam were a complete and utter joke.

 

When they scored a couple of their fans tried to get onto the segregation and they did nothing but when we scored...

 

The Police acted quickly, and tried to keep fans in their seats in the Northam Stand, especially those who were right next to those fishy ****s.

 

And after the game, why let both supporters out at the same time? I suspect many Saints fans had to take a longer journey home because of that which is wrong considering its our city.

 

The Hampshire Police always pick on the home supporters at St Marys when theres a big away following. Look at Manchester United last season, they were utter ****s that day aswell.

Ive seen it posted elsewhere that it is apparently "against human rights" to lock people in after games now.

During a training exercise he shoots a "baddy" with a shotgun from a foot away and it wasnt even an accident.

No, there was a photo of him in the portsmouth evening news. You were also smashing up the cars in the forecourt of Freeborn Motorhomes.

Well that wouldn't apply to Pompey fans then surely?

 

Don't understand why they weren't kept in for at least 20-30 minutes to let the majority of the Saints fans disperse. When we went to Millwall, even though there's no major history of aggro between us, the police kept us in for a good 15 minutes, then we were held in the walkway for the trains for another 10-15 minutes.
