Re: Match Thread v Cheltenham
Well, that was an interesting day...
Firstly, Stanley Ultras organised for us to unofficially march to the ground behind a banner, loud & colourful. Good natured & passionate. The same we did afterwards at QPR, the same as we did for the Peel Park March in 2006. The same as barrow did from the Green Man pub to Wembley on Sat (with 300 bodies....)
Obviously, Cheltenham & Gloucester constabulary were spooked by this. In fact, the first copper at the pub said he couldn't believe our "arrogance" that we would travel & presume we could just do this.....
Therefore all I can think is that it is a crime to be organised & passionate group of football supporters.
The amount of police was ridiculous....
I was arrested at the start of the march then let off, obviously because they couldn't write "walking in the road" on an arrest sheet...
So I spent the afternoon in the Sudeley Arms drinking champagne with other Reds who refused to go in....
I would suggest they lost around £200 plus had a massive police bill & for what ......
Crazy
On a final note, given all the hassle, and talking to other like minded Accy fans. It is suggested we play it a little differently pre match just in case our "mannerisms" are causing this increased authority at our games.... Here's to a safe 2010-2011
