Re: Match Thread v Cheltenham
I was quite appalled by some of the scenes I saw at the game today. most of your fans looked like they were out to enjoy themselves, and like all fans just gave us stick (as we did back because that's part of the game).
the incident with the bloke that got chucked out after 5 minutes was isolated. the 2nd problem where all stewards, police and fans got involved was after you got the "skull and crossbones" flag out in response to us getting our flag out. and that's when many of your fans walked out rather than kicking off again.
I actually spoke to the guy (Grimps?) who hurt his leg and was in a wheelchair and seemed alright, as did his mate with "Squaddie" on back of shirt. Hope your leg is ok.
I saw one of your young lads (wearing a red t-shirt) in tears, looking towards the Cheltenham fans as if to say "why is this happening..." and then being comforted by his mate. I felt really sorry for him.
I've not seen stewarding or police like that at Cheltenham before. I hope that it doesn't put you guys off returning next season, we really are a family club (although you may question).
