saintgscot 84 Report post Posted August 7, 2014 Feel sorry for the saints fans at game when we win. Just heard on the radio that there over 100 riot police at the game. Outnumber the saints fans. Alan Preston then said don't think they know what type of club saints are but over the top. Then they found out the riot police for spartan fans in case it goes wrong.

Born2Bru 143 Report post Posted August 7, 2014 There was no trouble there tonight, although it was a bit scary to be escorted in by police cars past all these riot police. Fans were fine and wanted to swop scarves and it was all good-natured. It was a bit funny to see all the precautions and then both sets of fans mingling to together in the beer(!!) and food queuesas ewell as the toilets. 2 541ntees and trnavcan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gordon Drummonds Perm 123 Report post Posted August 8, 2014 3 SpartakTrnava hooligans came into the pub we were in before the game. They were looking for a ruck but after some gentle persuasion and top swapping they were Ok. 2 fans who made their own way to the game had to give up their saints tops outside the stadium by a large group of Slovakians. Flag was stolen off the bus when it arrived at the stadium and someone's scarf was stolen walking from the bus to stadium that was about a 5 metre walk :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
