Forgive me my ignorance, but don't "supporters" support their team as opposed to dishing out nasty surprises willy nilly?
Indeed they do Jock.Not sure how often you have attended BP this Season I know you are Scotland based?However home supporters have a pretty poor choice of watering holes these days in and around BP meaning most will head to CLPS.A much larger home turnout coupled with the largest away following of the Season drinking in and around CLPS would suggest to me trouble is highly likely because large numbers of opposing fans wont want to mix. Please note I am not a FIO or Police Super so my obvious lack of knowledge on a potential flare up is probably best ignored ala the Sheff Utd friendly when numerous posters predicted what would happen weeks before the game.Trouble will occur and the Local Plod`s recent record on policing these sort of games is not very good at all for 6 years they only had one fixture to worry about and that lack of experience shows.

So we can expect the GrimTel to be full of comments from NIMBYs afterwards. Central Cleethorpes residents ought to be marching on the Town Hall to DEMAND that the stadium be built at PP!

I moved north in 1992 Micky, so am well aware of trouble spots in Meggies, having lived just around the corner from Isaac's Hill. I nearly got caught up in nasty crossfire when Leeds came on the Bank Holiday and decided to try and do a Beirut on our town. I know we had a number of squabbles in the first two seasons of the Conference, but that it had largely died down since then. As a teenager I well remember the wholesale trouble down the Station Approach and the promenade itself during the mid 60s when the annual skirmishes took place between the mods and rockers. It's something that has gone on since time immemorial in Cleethorpes, especially with like minded folk from Yorkshire. What does disappoint me though is seeing the club associated with this by saying they are GTFC supporters. They're not, they're thugs who are just aping their forefathers. Football allegiance doesn't come into it.

No matter how wrong it may be I have to disagree with this, it's got everything to do with football allegiances and the town or part of the country you are from. Much the same as the battles between Mods / Rockers / Punks / Skins and their allegiances.

The good thing is that they won't know until other results are in later. So hopefully they'll be well away from the BP if it should happen.

| The wife was going away for a girly weekend. I jokingly remarked 'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football' 'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked She said 'Well you already know how to play football' |
