I loved the atmosphere as much as the next man and whenever I get chance to get on I'll carry on doing my bit to improve it, but when you get all that within a few short weeks there is no doubt that it will drop off. I'd love it to be back to what it was, and to bring my lads along to enjoy it, but if the Ground Safety Officer has no say to the police over whether they should charge into fans for an 'organised' display then there is no chance.

Sorry Macca but that's a poor excuse. On the day or a few games after then maybe but this is years later. Yes , we may not agree on the stewarding but how often do we see the police at an Accy game these days and the last time I saw a horse was the grand national.
They can take away our smoke bombs, they can take away our flags but they can't take away our singing cos in England at least they don't have that legislation!!
ps any similarity to Mel Gibson in Braveheart is purely coincidental
pps British yesterday, British today - Scotland says NO!! - sorry couldn't resist it especially since I have dual nationality
