So, we had a disallowed goal, sending off and now "made everything up"

They must think football fans are plain thick. Look at the exert from the statement below

No incidents were recorded on the day of any inappropriate behaviour towards female supporters or young spectators. Had such incidents been either reported or flagged up, the issues would have been dealt with immediately.

The club takes these allegations seriously and will both study the CCTV footage and speak to the relevant parties to ensure that no infringements of accepted procedures took place.


So, if no incidents were recorded on the day, why are they going to study the CCTV footage and speak to the relevant parties to ensure that no infringements of accepted procedures took place?

Whatever the rights and wrongs of the liason with the club's safety officer, and lack of information forthcoming from the club to supporters about the expected searches, this statement is just trying to pull the wool over fan's eyes.

Also, given "police intelligence" that dangerous items could be given to "those less likely to be searched" just how many items did the searches reveal to be in such hands?

The whole thing will be whitewashed over by both clubs, but it looks like the Trust are obviously not trusted enough to be party to such information - which let's face it relates to the health and safety of the club's fans - and as such I would query whether or not continuing with the role in the boardroom is still warranted?


No attempt at ethical or social seduction can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred of the Tory party. So far as I'm concerned they're lower than vermin. Aneurin Bevan.

I am going out shortly, but could find plenty of holes in this statement.  And I was not even at the match.

Others can rebut the points made (in response) more effectively. The core issues have not been addressed.

After liaising with Grimsby Town’s safety officer, the police and others, it was indicated that prohibited items were likely to try to be brought into the grounds and could be passed onto those deemed less likely to be searched, such as women and younger supporters.

Especially in response to the above paragraph .

And the response only covers one aspect of the Trust letter - albeit the most important one.
People were reporting and flagging these incidents on the day. But the only people available to report these incidents to were the perpetrators or the police, who couldn't have been less interested.

I wonder if our safety officer will let the fans know exactly what 'information' he passed to Stevenage !!


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'
