Yes. Luckily, their fans will be streaming out just after half time as our fourth goes inAway fans exiting onto Bloomfield Rd and the gate behind the North will be closed. So vast majority leaving will be on Bloomfield Rd after the game. Madness.
It is.Away fans exiting onto Bloomfield Rd and the gate behind the North will be closed. So vast majority leaving will be on Bloomfield Rd after the game. Madness.

Agreed.
I thought something could have kicked off after the Barnsley and Blackburn games, but fortunately their fans were more focused on slagging off their teams rather than confronting us.
Have you seen the police these days. They look about 11Total stupidity. I know the config of the ground doesn't help at all, but everyone can see this is going to cause major problems....except the police it seems. It's like there's no-one working in the police force now that was around 11 years ago.
I thought the police had indicated that this is not done nowadays because it breaches human rights?Gunna be chaos if they’re not kept in. I’ve a feeling they will be kept in for 15 minutes tomorrow

It's Preston folk. Of course it will be ugly.It is.
I don't understand how they think it's appropriate.
My only hope is that the 2200 nobbers are basically our 'West' and those days are behind them.
Other than that, how are we going to stop those of our own fans looking for conflict leaving the ground early and waiting for them?
Could be ugly, which is the reason I'm not taking my youngest.
I’m pretty sure the Scousers will be kept back after the final whistle against the Mancs on Sunday. Why should it be any different for the Nobbers tomorrow? It will be absolute carnage if they’re not...Even if this is true, surely adding in a clause saying "You may be kept behind for 10 mins after the end of the game" into the t&c's of away fans tickets would solve this?
It does seem like the police are trying to provoke something.
Leeds fans were kept in at Old Trafford this season, so it's nothing to do with human rights.I thought the police had indicated that this is not done nowadays because it breaches human rights?
Leeds fans aren't human.Leeds fans were kept in at Old Trafford this season, so it's nothing to do with human rights.
Yep and as said above, the sad thing is we all know it's going to happen and apparently the police aren't arsed.It's ** 2021 and there is a thread on a football message board about being worried that both sets of supporters will be let out at the same time once the game has finished....
Apart from anyone that still thinks kicking fuck out of someone for supporting another football club is right and normal, then leaving an event at the same time as everyone else and making your way home safely is dangerous the mind boggles....
Unfortunately there are some amongst us that aren't very bright or have any common sense. Just think in this day and age after events like 2 Gulf wars, twin towers and 20yrs in Afghanistan two football teams playing each other will lead to violence.....
Completely agree. It shouldn’t be an issue. But there’s some right muppets who support both Blackpool and PNE and they can’t handle their drink and they have a bit of a complex with regards to their manhoods so the obvious solution is to embarrass themselves and pretend they’re 14 again and scrap in a park. It’s truly pathetic but it will undoubtedly happen. Just gotta keep my old man away from it and make sure no kids or other oldies get caught up in anything by the morons. As long as the other decent supporters on both sides do the same it’ll be alright though.It's ** 2021 and there is a thread on a football message board about being worried that both sets of supporters will be let out at the same time once the game has finished....

I believe the police do it on purpose who in there right mind would let away and home fans mixAlways held back at Deepdale

Calm down Maggie Thatcher.Cameras.
Lifetime ban from ALL football grounds and £5000 fine.
If you can't pay the fine then a spell in the big house.
See how long they're a so called hard men last in there.
Correct to be an Ambassador you had to be a Season Ticket holder for nine years on the trot that discounts a lot of the youth and those up for a ruck.Most of there fans had to be ambassadors to get tickets so beware flying tartan blankets if one of those catch you in the eye it could do some damage
Hi Goldfinger , I Think all of that should apply to the ground authorities and police - my brother witnessed someone (older person) falling over in the Road near BR in the exit melee after the Blackburn match and actually, Lee Charles TV caught the people/fan crash on cameraCameras.

They are bothered(mate of mine works all BFC games) but it's a no win situation whatever they do light touch or heavy handed they will be criticized.The police aren't bothered.
They're happy to go round with a video camera like they're on holiday and then pick up the pieces after.
Now that's perfectly ok if you've got two sets of supporters that are intent on kicking seven sacks of shit out of each other, on you go
BUT.....
There will be several thousand who've gone to watch a football match and have no intention of getting embroiled in any sort of football violence and it's the police's decision to let all the supporters out at once who are putting these others in danger.
This is the 21st century.We're supposed to be a civilized nation yet grown men can't wait for a "ruck".Calm down Maggie Thatcher.
Well if we can't blame the police after making a decision like this who do we blame?They are bothered(mate of mine works all BFC games) but it's a no win situation whatever they do light touch or heavy handed they will be criticized.
We have to ask ourselves as a society why does it cost more to Police football than any other sport or event and what can be done to prevent flare ups it's 2021 FFS and not just blame the Police at every turn.

So your blaming those who have to sort out the crime more than the idiots committing it?Well if we cant bla

As said before Boro and Cardiff were let out onto Bloomfield road at full time along with Pool fans and skirmishes occurred.
God knows what'll happen today if this happens especially, god forbid, Nob end actually win!!!
Against the law now, they can only be advised.Gunna be chaos if they’re not kept in. I’ve a feeling they will be kept in for 15 minutes tomorrow
That can’t be true as away fans of other teams have been kept in after matches recentlyAgainst the law now, they can only be advised.
Not seen anything about any law banning it happening?Against the law now, they can only be advised.
Its classed as holding someone against there will ,even the police are not allowed to do that without reason.Not seen anything about any law banning it happening?
