Matt de K I guess that what with having the away fans directly next to the main RFC stand (no offence intended North or West standers) there is always going to be those moments where oposing fans exchange heated views.
Well where was the fence after I'd descended the stairs at St James' Park? I was in the middle of all sorts of Geordies. I exchanged pleasent words with some of them, but where was the fence this time? More importantly, why were we not held in our concourse for the benefit of the slight possibility of some trouble? Why is it only RFC that has to do something insanley stupid like erect a fence to complicate leaving the stadium?
Matt der K BUT what do you think the possibility would be of home & away clashes between a few poeple inside the Mad Stad eventually finding themselves outside. I think that the possibility would be much higher if the gates weren't errected.
You see this must be what the club is thinking, if the 'worry' of crowd trouble is the issue, which I do not think. But if it is, I think they should really stop doing this for a hypothetical reason and start doing something that will literally improve matters.
This fence is just one of the reasons why I shall not be getting the bus this Saturday...
