Popular Post davetherivelinowl Posted October 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 24, 2021 I'm surprised no-one has mentioned the trouble that threatened to kick off opposite B&M on Middlewood Road before the match. Lincoln fans, presumably from the train and bus stations, were being escorted by the police along one side of Middlewood Road when a crowd of Wednesday 'fans' gathered on the opposite side and started trying to break the police cordon to attack the Lincoln fans. Mostly a load of macho posturing but, from what I saw, the police did a good job of making sure the Lincoln fans were protected. Without them it could have got much nastier. I didn't hang around to see what happened next but another pile of Wednesdayites ran down Middlewood Road to confront them and loads more police arrived too. How sad. I really thought the days were gone when a family couldn't go to a match without fear of getting beaten up. Another thread speaks of how welcome it was to get over 3000 away fans. They're not gonna come back if they have to walk through a gauntlet of idiots intent on smashing someone up. It was obvious who the biggest culprits were - the one's actually leading the charge through the police cordon. Do the police have cameras on their vests now? If so those idiots should be identified, banned from games and made to attend a police station every Saturday afternoon. It made me ashamed to be a Wednesdayite. 26 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEnchanter Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 It was a bit tasty wasn't it. All bravado as you say, seems to happen a lot on the way to a lot of games I've been to home and away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEnchanter Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Lincoln were also giving it large though, it wasn't as though they were innocent and needed protecting They had some right dinosaurs out yesterday on their big day out. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post @owlstalk Posted October 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 24, 2021 It's all about the pointing You have to do the pointing - that's the rules And make sure you have police between you and whoever you're pointing at After you've done the pointing thing you can then open your arms out as wide as you can, puff your chest out and then shout 'COME ON THEN!!' Then you go back to the pointing And make sure you have police between you and whoever you're pointing at 7 29 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah a bit of bouncing - ideally from your left foot to your right foot and back again Whilst pointing But making sure you're safely stood behind police whilst doing it 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they start bouncing ...have a go cos they are really crapping it and ready to do a runner. So a few years later I tried it at chelsea...no choice tbh.. a few of us were cornered...anyhow it didn't work. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You broke the rules that's why You weren't behind police like the 'lads' are these days And you should have done loads of pointing first Come on - it's the BASICS (I'll not discuss the uniform you have to wear - we can do that another time) 2 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
