As for the trouble, I lingered around to see what was going on and tbh, it was just a load of kids copying the block 14 lads, ran down towards jimmy hill end, everyone bottled the pitch invasion then they ran back across. A few older lads giving it loads, bottles of pop and water thrown at police, one bottle hit a dad with child on head so he wanted blood of the lad who threw it but couldn't find him. Stewards pincer movement to fans to try squeeze them out, stayed petulant so police stepped in using muscle over mouth, anyone who refused to move was either pushed down stairs or thumped in mouth, apparently one "IC3 Male" got his head stamped on but didn't see it. Police pushing out of the ground, a few scuffles, fat guy got floored, police walking line to see off a few singing kids in the end who were calling the police pedos cos they were touching and pushing kids. All quite comical in truth


In all honesty though the only violence I saw was from the Police. Yes stupid, rebellious kids and men who should know better. But the violence was only from the one end, certain police officers were looking very pumped and aggressive, I think they'd been working themselves up for a block 14/15 pitch invasion which they never got.
A disgrace from the Police that should be investigated

I was brought up to respect the Police like everyone else .But f me when they're mobbed up they are worse than any groups/gangs.....

There was only about 30 kids and 10 older lads left in the ground when they started throwing themselves about. No excuse for that regardless of any tip offs

What was with the massive row of meat wagons outside after the game?
I said to a copper are you expecting trouble and he just laughed.
Police in the underpass to Tesco as well.
