VillaAndLoyal Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Thing is, it does not mean there will be 500 on duty at the ground. They will be spread out. Some will be used to escort coaches in and out, some will be on traffic, some will be patrolling the city and Digbeth areas, some will be in the ground, some will be showing a prescence outside the ground, some will be in reserve on stand by, some will be making the tea, and some will no doubt be harrassing me very nicely put! And some will be hitting people with batons for the fun of it, dare I say. Back to what Undesirable said, I think you're dead right. You will literally have every Villa 'lad' out for this one, and I'd imagine the same from the Lulu's, but then you've more than likely got hundreds more from each side who will just be up for it on the night, because of the circumstances surrounding the game (ie. night match, quarter final, lots of police, lots of potential for trouble, the feeling that there is less chance of being caught on CCTV in the dark, first match of its kind since Rocky Lane etc etc). So in conclusion, I don't think it matters how many police are put on patrol, it could well be carnage. The 500 police didn't help whatsoever during the West Ham v Milwall derby did they? People ended up getting bloody stabbed. Whether the main incidents happen right outside the ground or a bit away from it on Wednesday remains to be seen, hopefully the latter so no inocents get caught up in it.

It'd all be so much simpler if the brawlers followed the Ukrainian rules of meeting in a park, miles away from the game and just had it there. This would save the trouble of ordinary fans getting shit off the police and the 2 hour walk home from the sty, however i doubt it would stop certain noses from having a pop at scarfers.

I've always thought this. The lads involved get to fight each other, the people at the ground can go without fear of having a housebrick tossed at their head, and the clubs would save money on excessive police budgets.

Win win situation? Not to mention a better quality of youtube video It almost seems like hooliganism in the Ukraine and to a lesser extent Russia is a regulated profession, they have group colours, even mma gloves and rules about ettiquette when someone goes to ground, many don't drink, smoke or take any intoxicants because of the effect it has on stamina! Anyway, back on topic, i don't think anyone should be worried about attending the game, the fact is that despite the knuckledraggers you're highly unlikely to get hurt, there will be nigh on 4,000 villa at the sty, everyone singing their hearts out, it's going to be bloody brilliant.

wedge Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 I'd take a kicking off some Blues fans if it meant we won. They do seem to think it's hard for 10 of them to batter 1 Villa fan though, then watch how many of them are squealing to the police when faced with equal numbers, a lot of their fans are scummy oxygen theifs and I hope we stuff them altogether on Wednesday.

villaboyjay Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I live in South Yardley, 400metres from the Yew Tree pub. I am hoping to take my chances and walk home from the Sty. I will be deep in Blues territory, but for safety reasons, I wont be wearing my Villa colours for this one. Just hope I am not in a police escort back into town, otherwise it will be a nightmare journey home from Digbeth for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
