So we had our big day out at Notts County

I was curious about Chesterfields take on the tackle on Kabongo Tshimanga

When Trawling through their forum, came across this comment

"Already on another thread but posted again here as it seems to fit here.
Worth noting that there has been some genuine concern comments from other True footballing fans on other forums. True footballing supporters, irrelevant of what colours they support, who appreciate the human side of the game, understand football and recognise talent. Fair play to some of the genuine footballing comments on fellow League sites including Wrexham, Stockport and the Fishy. To all true supporters a genuine thank you. Hope you are reading this and pass on the thanks to your Clubs and fellow fans. You know who you are. Thank You."

Then I came across this comment

"Wrexham will be fine on a Tuesday, Grimsby have had their big day out at Notts, but Stockport, yeah fcku em, give them the corner."

We are probably have the best away support of any of the National League teams and put alot of EFL teams to shame, with our amazing away following.

To say we have had our big day out at Notts, says it all about Chesterfield.

The problem is, after the article in The Times, I'm fully expecting Chestefield to be early KO and limited tickets.

Not that I think that's in any way proportionate/effective (and hate the punishing of the well behaved masses for actions of a few), but afraid it just makes it even easier to impose restrictions now.

The chances of chesterfield being moved was high anyway, remember last time when they actually made stuff up?

The bloody pre season friendly was early kick off anyway and ticket only if I remember right.
Then they delayed kick off because of road works.

Exactly, don’t think we were ever going to get close to a 3pm kick off with whichever set of clowns police Chesterfield. Honestly can’t believe that more wasn’t made of their police just blatantly lying about town fans smashing a pub up - the landlord said the pub was absolutely fine and had hardly seen a town fan all day!

From what I can see we’ve not had a Saturday 3pm ko at Chesterfield for at least 14 years. Don’t think any allocation or restrictions this time around are going to be helped by 50 Chesterfield tramps turning up at Freshney Place in balaclavas earlier in the year.  This after having a pre-season friendly moved to a midday kick off with tickets restricted at 500.

You can’t say things like that, it’s only town that have that element…or so you’d be led to believe.

Can see it already, 1500 tickets, 1pm KO, not a hint of trouble but they’ll still say there’s been disorder.

How the police got away with it last time is beyond me…

They got away with it because everybody is scared to challenge them. It’s amazing that in this day and age but somehow it’s true. It really needs to be taken up at a higher level, but clubs (note the plural, it’s not just us) seem reluctant to do this. Perhaps they (understandably so) are weary of been seen to be undermining police efforts to prevent genuine hooligans.

I'm not sure where you come up with this rubbish. I'm sure most Town fans accept that this is only a minority and happens everywhere, but this doesn't mean they don't what the idiot element eradicating from our fan base.

It’s the simple option for the police, where they can justify their actions reasonably. They wouldn’t ever dream of looking at reasonable (practical?) solutions that could actually work. But, unfortunately that’s the way that a lot of police forces will treat football supporters. We’re an easy target. All tarnished with the same brush so treat everyone the same. It’s this antagonistic approach that I think inflames the situation, and instead of moving on the police don’t…….maybe won’t. And there is no argument towards counteracting this as, ‘they ARE the law’.

Don’t forget, you are innocent until proven guilty. Unless you are a football supporter.  

Don't think I'll bother. Will be a terrible day out. Last league game they closed all pubs, 1pm kick off and herded us into a caged area inside the ground I seem to remember. Derbyshire Police arguably worse that South Yorkshire Police which is some acolade.
