Argus reporting the MET may keep us in an extra hour and a half after the game! Hope we win as that will be some hour and half! 
. Surely thats a bit extreme!

i am so glad i am not going
A few seasons ago Brighton fans were effectively kettled for a long while in the road behind the away stand. Patience eventually ran thin and things started to kick off with the Police. Not condoning this in any way but it does seem extraordinary how little imagination the Police have when dealing with these situations. Too often the Police manage to create tension rather than prevent it.
3000 people being kettled for an hour and a half will not end well.

Presumably if the atmosphere is hostile and one team is getting battered, they will keep us in longer. Hopefully we will batter them and we can party after!
Do they keep the bars open after the game!

Tit for tat you may say, but.....
I hope we return the favour after the reverse fixture at The Amex and keep them locked in.
For me it only enflames the situation, gives the pikeys an hour and a half of drinking nearby after the game in preparation for any potential flare ups.
God I hope we smash them.

There's no way any set of fans would be kept back anything like that long, its scaremongering bobbins.
Keeping fans back any longer than half an hour tops would do nothing but incite frayed tempers and aggravation.

Hour and a half 
Talk about Argus sensationalism.
Sadly though people believe it and all it's going to do is add fuel to the fire.

Yes and don't allow the to come up West street/Queens road again-straight to the ground this time and after the game straight back to London-after a being locked in for an hour
Farcical no doubt just a ploy to obtain overtime payments. Still the palace players warm down will be fun
Disagree. I reckon it'll be at least two hours as it has been previously on a Saturday, hence.I'm going to the amex.
what makes you think it's sensational?Hour and a half

I can't see them letting us have a fire. Not unless it's really cold anyway.
And legal action!

Kettling (also known as containment or corralling) is a police tactic for controlling large crowds during demonstrations or protests.
At Selhurst it won't be a protest, or demonstration, it will be a game of football, that sadly will attract some undesirable elements (pathetic morons). The Police will be doing no such thing as kettling, they will be endevouring to ensure our safety by stopping us leaving the area/ground at the same time as the Palace supporters.
It's called common sense really, in light of some of the likely behaviour of some of those present (on both sides). If the police let everyone out at the same time there is a high likelehood of trouble, and would almost certainly mean decent, civilised supporters being in the middle of it.
Until the people who cause this sort of problem, and perpetuate it year on year are either eradicated, or they grow up, this is going to happen every time. Why is it that we can leave games at pretty much every other ground in the country and mingle in with the opposition supporters with barely an incident, yet for this game we are stuck in a time warp?
