Have they ever been? Never seen a game so heavily policed and yet when flares and fireworks were being let off they were nowhere to be seen.
I have commented on the incompetent cowardly stewards on another thread.

I take it you're something to do with the failed security team? Go tell it to the board and the football authorities. 'Oh it was only smoke bombs or flares, not hand grenades'. Good luck with that
To be fair there is a public order issue with going into a crowd and picking fans out. They must be confident they’ve got good clear CCTV.
Either way FSF will be involved and make sure both clubs and police made to look into it and improve
Maybe rockets like the one that killed the person in Wales. They could have been anything.

You have no fashion sense!
LOL Yeah right! Coz the Met never lie do they?
So what was going on in the stadium that was more dangerous than letting off flares and fireworks? Anybody got a clue?
They were agency stewards brought in by Crystal Palace I was told by our stand manager.
another assumption where you are completely wrong
The ineffective soft touch modern approach, of keeping the police out of it if at all possible.
Doesn't work when its hatred between fans.
The police have the training, armoury, protective gear and legal powers to crush offences by weak 19 year old cowards.

Sorry but another example of cowardly steward ing and policing. They don't waste any time evicting home fans for far less. Just pathetic and unfortunately predictable. Our club need to answer to this, not just the hoodied idiots the caused it all.
There was a group being kettled between the West Lower outside exit and North Stand outside exit at about 10.20 when we left the bar. Couldn't see who they were as the OB were getting very aggressive with anyone who went near them. Looked about the right size for the ultra group though & some black hoodies.

Never mind the health and safety, those explosions were distracting for the players and could have swung the result. One went off just behind Ryan as Palace swung in a corner while the double save from Ryan was seconds after another bang.
Do YOU need the reality check?
We had a fan banned for throwing a pint of beer. What do you think would have happened if we had started letting off flares and fireworks in the NS eh? They are either illegal and the law should be enforced, or we should be allowed them too. One or the other.

i am sure i saw sniffers on my way into the stadium as I passed the palace queue....so, not sure what went wrong there!
Post of the evening. Hope Barber has got plenty of P45s for the cowardly incompetent stewards.

The security team have many questions to answer.
As got the palace fans, a complete embarrassment.

Then you're trying to defend the indefensible for no good reason. Well done
defend the indefensible? I await the facts (and you've side stepped my question about how the stewards would frogmarch the ultras and conduct full body searches)
