I shudder to think what would have happened if people at the front turned round and pushed downhill just to wait on the flat. Never going to happen, thankfully. Hence a bit of argy bargy at the front and a few coppers with their batons out. Had we walked out, got on coaches, dispersed as in the past (alright, that's not always been the case).....no problem.
I think your missing my point. I’m not saying people should’ve stood in the car park with the coaches but underneath the stand. There were no coppers in the way back down to the area I was stood. We were kept back for what? 20mins? The police aren’t gonna move just because fans ask them to so with a bit of common sense people at the back could’ve stopped trying to push their way through a non moving crowd. After a couple minutes it was apparent that the crowd weren’t being allowed through so why keep trying to get further forward?
