I was chatting to a lincoln fan about this and he told me that when they play away there the guys are going to do dress up as women.

Good on them if it happens


They do that on any given weekend.

A post script to Bra-gate:

2 or 3 years a 13 or 14 year old girl was arrested by the police and was interviewed with the intention of giving her formal caution.  The offence:  just larking around and "pinging" the rear bra strap of a classmate.  The police interpreted it as a sexual offence (which it was not).  A formal caution would have been on her criminal record.

There was a nation outcry and the police eventually applied common sense and let her off.

What happened at Stevenage was more systematic and serious of infringing personal liberties etc etc.

As I have said earlier, this whole episode will be washed under the carpet and be allowed to disappear, sorry the trust and Kristine but the league and other authorities want the end of this. As a postscript has the Coventry saga ever been officially explained?

Surely when they take gate money from spectators they have a duty of care and that extends to handling complaints in a straightforward manner.
Simply replying that they will only discuss matters with GTFC alone and that the response must remain private is simply not acceptable.

I hope GTFC tell them to do one and state they must start taking some responsibility

Fully agree but like Gaffer58 states it will be probably be swept under the carpet.
GTFC's response and actions will be interesting here-lets see how they will represent their paying customers............

In any walk of life, if you make a complaint to any company then surely you should be afforded the courtesy of a personal reply at least.

Another case of football fans being treated differently to everyone else.

Very poor by Stevenage IMO.

They haven't responded to my complaint via e-mail as my daughter was one of the girls asked about her bra, I am off on Friday so I might just take a walk down there to say hello.

So feels to me like the powers that be a GTFC could do themselves a few favors with the fans "IF" their response defends the loyal supporters who spend their hard earned cash H&A, but then again could totally disengage many by not defending us.

To be fair to GTFC they shouldn't rush a reply on this one. They need to get it right.
But they do need to be seen to be on our side. This isn't a bunch of lads moaning about stewards or police. These are women, children and men that have been treated appallingly.  I sincerely hope that the club don't allow this to go unchecked. The fact that Stevenage haven't the common decency to apologise to those affected speaks volumes. A disgrace of a club.


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'
