Football Supporters? This Isn't what we need

Less · 15-10-2009, 16:39

I was in a downtown Accy pub today, the staff were putting up posters for Sunday, It seems that the Police have advised them that they can only open so long as every entrance has at least two bouncers, any entrance with no bouncers has to be closed so that:-

Blackburn & Burnley Supporters can't cause any trouble in the town.

Isn't it about time that ordinary folk that want a quiet drink shouldn't have to put up with this kind of action?

Football is a Sport, a game not a life or death thing, Please, Please, for the rest of us, be a little mature and behave yourselves, prove the Police wrong, no matter what the score, I'm sure you're team will have tried their best, so don't make life awkward for the rest of us.

any crime commited over football shoudl have the standard penalty plus an extra 5 years added for been stupid enough to fight over a game of football, fines should be increased 10 fold for offences relating to football as well

oh and banned from every town center pub and football ground for life

Sorry Wynonie you can't change a lifetime, you can't exactly blame people from this area for supporting clubs outside Accy, after all there was nothing to support for 30 years and kids have grown up without Stanley. Even though I'm a Rover, I think I've done my bit to help and do take a lot of interest in whats happening at the Crown, both on and off the field, but first and foremost I'll be a Rovers fan until I die.

You live in Ossy so I might let you off.

The best sort of Rovers supporter is Cashy - season ticket holder at Stanley!

If you stuck to your "in-town" team instead, it might have a better chance of paying its bills on time.

thanks ..i support burnley but it didn't stop me sending accy a tenner,i didn't think i am alright jack,,,,i want accy to get through this crisis,as do lots of other supporters of different towns

Read in the Observer that the Calder are only serving Burnley fans/supporters, are these sort of statements not going to stir things up? It is like saying the Blackburn lot are the trouble makers IMO.
When I worked at Rishton Con they played a couple of times, it was made clear that no trouble would be tolerated and there was none. Segregating fans is not the answer.

spignific · 17-10-2009, 01:25

this is happening because the worry for accrington pubs has been caused by the fact that well known nutters from burnley have arrived in accrington the last two times the clubs have played a derby game.its not for anything that the burnley and rovers fans from accy have ever done.both sets of fans know each other and get on fine without trouble. if other towns people will stay out of accy this time these mesures will not be needed in future.
