Were yiu there? Did you need to show identification with your ticket to gain admittance today? How easy was getting into, and out of Smellhurst? Any trouble with the police, or Palarse fans?
Some bother at Haywards Heath station coming back tho?
After a quite tense discussion with the MET I was allowed straight out through the cordon. Bloody rude as it goes, when I said I lived nearby the WPC responded "everyone says that".
.. now they don't really do they ?
It was explained to me that it was for my "own protection". Sorry guys, everyone is still in the stadium. I'm on home ground and I really don't need your help. Wasn't looking round desperately for PC Balkam.
The problem at this fixture (and I've witnessed it before) is that some police and stewards treat everyone as a potential hooligan. It's extraordinary how "hyped up" some are.
Obviously most are fine, I had to direct a couple of coppers to the station after the game who were lost.
Getting out we had a police escort to the station, all very smooth.
This was some guy in our carriage in the train. He wanted to fight everyone for no apparent reason.
Relaxed stewarding is one thing but is it too much to ask to make sure people at least stand next to a designated seat.
Shocking view and largely due to the volume of people stood in the walkways .

ID was enforced, had to show my ST at the turnstile.
No problem getting in, felt pretty relaxed police wise compared to palace visiting Brighton.
