A police officer is not allowed by law to assault anyone so this is ridiculous. As for the response of GTFC
I am not surprised, I remember in our last season in the league a fan ran on the pitch from the lower findus and the stewards caught and held him. I had no problem with that because they acted properly but I did complain to the head steward about the female steward running up to the fan while being held and landing heavy punches to his head. Needless to say the steward or the club never bothered to get back to me and the female steward carried on working for the club.

I think the fella said in the telewag he wasn't pursuing it which would go some way to explain why this shocking incident has been 'let go' by all concerned.

Quite sad really, it should have been followed through, not for personal gain but to make sure this doesn't happen to a child or vulnerable adult.  You can't chest lock someone and accidently get them in a head lock, especially as the fella was using his arms to hold the ball he was blowing up.

I call bullshit on the excuse by FGR and I am disgusted that someone from the club hasn't taken this incident serious enough to show the travelling supporters that the club has their interests at heart.  

Basically the club wants your away support but you are on your own should you get man handled by over zealous hired security with no means of address.


Supporting the Mighty Mariners for over 30 years, home town club is were the heart and soul is and it's great to be a part of it.

Let's see how his "headlock technique" has improved when we lose the second leg away at FGR

The "boys" from the Burton game will be taking their inflatables no doubt hoping he chooses them to practice on


Are we any closer to getting promoted since Hurst has been here? No

Has he been given time to achieve promotion by the chairman and fans? Yes

Hurst out

Would love to get them in the play offs and for 1500 Town fans to each take a Harry Haddock.


Looking forward to a brighter future now Fenty has gone.

One thing is for certain is that he won't be sticking up for the Town fan even if the Town fan wasn't in the wrong.

Outrageous outcome. Shame on FGR, shame on the police and shame on our club's spokesman.

If it had been rugby the fellah with the inflatable would have got a pat on the back for enhancing the atmosphere. As it's football fans, you can do anything you like to them.

I hope we don't get FGR in the play offs. For one, I now hope they don't get that far. Secondly, I'd be worried about the actions of some Town fans there.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

According to today's Telegraph, the fan in question is seeking legal advice and is to take the matter further, as he is not happy with the outcome reported.

FGR statement regarding this instance is shocking, and as to whether or not the guy headlocked has taken it further is up to him, but regarding our own clubs seemingly non interest in the matter is very disappointing, IMO they do have some moral responsibility to ensure that our non violent fans are treated with the same respect as shown to away fans at BP
