[big al]

By your own admission there were Welsh people there. Explain no problem> First one of the kids stood with me is part Welsh like you, two, Gary Roberts who plays 21 for the Stanley is from Welshpool. So who is the bigot?
The fact is only you lot saw any antagonism in that banner, so by your own mouth you judge yourselves, if the cap fits etc. Don't think I need to go on as you have proven Hereford fans like yourself are self inflicting bigots.
Again I clearly said the police, not the club had apparently threatened one of our coach drivers with a fine, simply cos some of the fans wanted to spend some money in your shops. Now I work for myself & it is b****y hard work to earn a living as such, so I personally would take great exception at such a cack handed approach from the people my hard earned taxes pay for, especially at depriving a local the right to earn a living. I suppose Hereford is not particularly regarded as a tourist spot, sorry you do have a tourism office for the area? I am not overly convinced from my first visit to your town to come back of my own free will.
Laws are made to be upheld & there are simple methods of dealing with a situation to prevent escalation & matters getting out of hand. Your stewards were bullies in their handling of the situation, they even pushed & manhadled some of those kids rather that simply ask to remove the banner. Placing one hand on a person withour their consent is assault, whick they would learn by taking an NVQ course as all our stewards have done. Oh, my experience, I have only stewarded at places like Bolton, Man City, Oldham, Hillsborough .....
You are the ones taking issue over a simple banner & reading more into it than there is. No different to you coming up here next season & putting a banner up "WE SEE LANCASHIRE PEOPLE". Some of our visitors put a banner up on Tues nights game accusing Rory of diving. Big deal, we even posted a photo on our site so more could have a laugh. By the way, our stewards did not remove it although it could have been taken in poor light. Still the further North you travel the better a sense of humour you will find.
Anti racism between Welsh & English? Who is that goes into native tongue when they hear English people visiting Wales cos we English don't speak Welsh? Similar to when we walk into an Asian shop...ring a bell. Just one final thing Ricardo. Yacky Da!
