Quoted from Chrisblor
Nothing, there were hundreds of them swarming around the ground though for no discernable reason.


I asked one, and he said "apparently there was trouble at Shrewsbury", which I can't seem to remember :S


Today we got our team back - town fan leaving Wembley may 2016

I blame the darker side of the Town support - our record for fan behaviour is hardly exemplary.  And if there weren't enough police and people got hurt I think I'd be more outraged than if there were too many police and nobody got hurt.

AFC Telford said they were expecting around 225-250 Town fans. There were probably a few more but i didnt hear an official figure.

To have the number of police around the ground must have meant a copper to every 3 or 4 fans.

Recently there was a suggestion from a senior police office that football clubs pay in full for the cost of policing games.

IF that was in force today Telford would have had to have paid their entire gate money to the old bill

Quoted from Martz86
They are a waste of tax payers money where ever they are, overpaid uniform wearing illegitimates


Tell that to thier faces then. They should be ok with it after you explain it was an obvious joke.

They might have thourght we are all EDL members so the police showed up in numbers.

ther are a few pictures of telfords hooligan element under police gaurd in a cleethorpes pub, maybe with our reputation, our last  away game of the season the local force might have been expecting our hooligan element to show up...

police at football is a must in my opinion, its just about getting the numbers right, if it did kick off and ther was major disturbances alot of people would complain about the lack of police.unfortunaltly due the English past hooligan exploits ther will always be a police presence, its just when they treat normal fans like scum that irritates me. they have a job to do, and most are very helpful and can have a bit of banter.
