Yes, or least let out but walked very slowly behind a police line.

I'm not a great believer in human rights, as Quentin Crisp said "If humanity got what it deserved we'd all starve", however I thought It was illegal to lock us in after the match

Don't ever remember being kept in before - don't see why they would now!!

After 'that match' we were kept in that road that runs parrellel with the Arfur Wait, possibly to get round my point made earlier

Freedom of movement will be severely restricted - don't plan on getting a train back much before 11pm

well as most on here have already made plans for a midweek trip to Geordieland for a replay, this should be a breeze!

Last time we escorted down to Norwood junction but not kept in. Trains waiting to head south if I remember rightly.

That was a nightmare for me personally!!
Having parked about 1/2 a mile from the ground, following a short drive from wallington, being marched down to south Norwood then being nearly forced onto a traion heading for Brighton, I had to argue with one of the police inspectors to let me walk back to my car, he wasn't keen but finally relented (there were a few of us in the same position) Always thought it wouldn't be a problem as I could cut down one of the side streets, but the mounted police had every street covered. If I remember rightly I got back to wallington at around 8.30pm , when I should have been home by 5.30. Hope it doesnt happen again. When we won 1 - 0 they just let us out, saw some scuffles but nothing major.

Skint years RIP
same situation for me, as i travelled from bristol for that game. took ages to make them listen that not all of us had come from brighton. very frustrating. being the first game after such a while probably heightened every aspect of the operation though.
Apart from 2003 when they kept us in the ground for an hour then in a police cordon for 2 hours you mean?

Less of us. More of them. Guests first, surely?

Would make sense , however weren't Palace kept behind for 10/20 minutes at the AMEX (or was it just a long celebration in the concourse?) and seem to remember something similar when we won 1-0 up there?
Withdean however I think we were both let out at the same time.

They let me and my Dad out when we reached the road to Norwood Junction, i zipped up my top to cover my colours and we went to Selhurst to get a train back to Sutton. Actually thought the police would force us onto trains to Brighton at one point. All seemed a bit OTT. Live in Wallington now actually!
Not sure we're gonna get tickets this time tho.

You wont be kept in, not since the 5-0 has anyone been kept back.
