Information on Priority for Away Games and other next season

[West Hoathly Seagull]

Felt quite safe to be honest. I remember being kept down that road for ages and when we emerged to where the Pompey lot were we were surrounded about 4 deep with O.B

True, and it was the one time I was grateful for a police escort, though I was still glad to reach the station. In contrast to London, where a police escort is a complete pain, a) because I'm usually heading back to SW11, not Sharpthorne, and b) because I'm familiar with the area round most grounds, and know short cuts away. For example, while the rest of you were corralled into that small space by Norwood Junction by the OB, nearly getting trampled by horses, I went to the nearest PC and said I wanted to get through to Penge. I then took the next right and caught a bus to East Croydon Station. Mind you, what I've just written has no relevance to this thread, so I'll get my coat (even though it's 29 degrees up here).
