Dai Brainbocs Heck of a coincidence that this happens the same week as the police nationwide launched a campaign to get football clubs to pay for policing away from the immediate area of grounds. Granted supporters returning from an away game isn't quite the same thing, but it helps soften the public up to the idea that riot squads at railway stations are a vital component of having a football club in your town.
Down in the Conference Stockport's chairman has complained about the club being used as a cash cow by Greater Manchester Police and GMP using their games as training exercises for bigger grounds but charging the club for the privilege. At least one game there the police bill far exceeded the gate money from visiting supporters and at others it swallowed most of it.

Agreed. Nothing tops away days like Saints, West Ham or promotion at Leicester.

CayeneMatt I have a contact reasonably high up in TVP. I'll pass on news of this dissatisfaction. She's reasonably level headed so I expect a sympathetic response.

Royal Lady I think this needs highlighting here for all supporters to see - in case you miss it...
Because Thames Valley Police were there in massive force, in scenes more reminiscent of policing the miner’s strike in the 80s than policing of football fans returning to their home station after a great night out.
Be interesting to see if we're all treated the same if we dare to go into Reading after or IF we go up. Terrible decision by the police.

AthleticoSpizz agree Pseud
He has history for "over egging" and hysterically over dramatising all civil liberty football derived things..... in his official role.
In the absense of the £iddling Arthur Scargill, policemen being driven 200 miles to stoke the fires and concrete slabs being dropped onto taxi drivers taking "scabs" to work (killing them) , I would agree its a very poor comparison.

IdealFocher i was virtually first off the train, and the police were basically a massive bunch of nazis.
Now now, are you comparing the TVP to the lolocaust now?
I'll have you know I have 30 jewish girlfriends and this offends me deeply, I am morally outraged etc.
