Sounds like an enjoyable day out compared to the usual problems at Selhurst.

At least they got to see what a decent city and top class stadium looks like. Must be a decent change from the
absolute BAGHDAD of a situation they've got up there.
Going away to Selhurst is horrific.

Exactly right. At least our club didn't keep them in and goad them over the P.A. system for 45 minutes.
The one thing that nobody had any control over-the weather-helped finish off their day out to Sussex perfectly. Payback's a bitch ain't it?

Reading that makes me feel even better, if that's possible. This was clearly their '5-0 and kept back' day.
Personally I find it a sad reflection on both football and the mentality of the police towards football supporters that the situation in the photo arose. Seriously, how do a few knobheads from both sets of supporters manage to turn the clock back to the 80s ? Palace or not, football supporters should not be subjected to such idiotic and frankly unfair policing methods.
That type of policing just inflames the situation.

I agree, but until someone can suggest a method that keeps the 1% of knuckle-draggers apart, it will continue this way. Can you suggest anything?

At least my post made sense even if you don't agree with it !
Not entirely sure, I'm all for high profile policing but surely policing methods have moved by now ? Personally I think it's an issue with the police rather than a few rock apes. A few years ago I happened to be staying at a hotel in Austria and got talking to a Met police officer. He openly admitted that officers in the Met enjoyed policing football as it "was the only time they could put the boot in and get away with it". I've had a similar conversation with a Welsh officer a couple of years ago.
I'd suggest the problem lies with the mentality of the police rather than any real issue with football supporters. British Transport Police are some of the worst. Maybe if these types of operations were run by officers that actually appreciated football rather than the idiotic "hard nut" officers just looking for their stripes we, the football supporters, might be treated in the correct manner - i.e. not treated as criminals when we've done nothing at all.
