Milky Posted 3 February 2006 Share Posted 3 February 2006 who's been a naughty boy/girl then? i thought we were better than that, it was only F.A Cup 4th round, no need to smack the bitch up. T H U GS : COACHES UNDER ATTACK AFTER DEFEAT Hooligans target away fans’ buses Police are hunting a gang of Leicester City fans who pelted away supporters’ coaches with stones. Up to 20 hooligans attacked buses – some carrying children as young as five – after City’s 1-0 defeat to Southampton at the Walkers Stadium in the FA Cup on Saturday. Police today confirmed the thugs broke one coach window with a concrete slab while others boarded buses, where they threatened fans. City thugs are also accused of spitting at a coach driver. A police risk assessment had concluded there was little prospect of violence between fans and therefore no police escort was thought necessary for the travelling fans’ coaches. Police today confirmed the troublemakers were Leicester City fans and CCTV images were being studied. Nobody was injured in the attacks. Witnesses have been interviewed but no arrests have been made, a force spokeswoman confirmed. She said: “The incident took place after the match and involved a group of about 20 Leicester supporters. “A group attacked the buses and a couple tried to board them, while a concrete slab was thrown.” Chief Supt Nick Gargan, match commander at the game, said: “This was an isolated incident and it’s very sad these people have ruined an otherwise good-natured match. “True to form, it was a small number of people causing trouble. We take hooliganism very seriously and will do everything in our power to stamp it out.” Southampton fans posted messages on websites over the weekend. One, signed only as Benj, wrote: “Seeing as there were children as young as five on our coach, I thought their behaviour was despicable.” Jen wrote: “I was on the coach that had bricks thrown at it. They threw a massive piece of concrete at the window and it smashed only the first pane of glass. “A couple of them did get on board and tried to start a fight with us. They kept opening the doors and they kept spitting at the driver.” City fan Mark Rogers, 25, from the West End, said: “I didn’t see the incident but it’s given us a bad name when we’re one of the best sets of fans in the league. “The people who did this aren’t football fans and if they are caught they should be banned from the ground for life.” A Leicester City spokesman said: “The club has been made aware of an incident which took place away from the ground and, in tandem with the police, are investigating it.” The club has consistently affirmed its support for moves to identify and exclude troublemakers.

Hullfox Posted 3 February 2006 Share Posted 3 February 2006 Police are hunting a gang of Leicester City fans who pelted away supporters’ coaches with stones. The "hunting" would not have been required had there been just one police officer stood at the coaches. Stable door/ horse bolted come to mind.

Stable door/ horse bolted come to mind. good point. why do people have to go so far though. surely a few energetic willy puller actions and V signs teamed with shouting abuse would have saficed.

SussexFox Posted 3 February 2006 Share Posted 3 February 2006 I'm sure there are far more serious crimes the police should be looking into or are they only good for looking for football fans and putting up speed cameras Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted 3 February 2006 Share Posted 3 February 2006 But when the football fans are committing crimes, surely they have to act? If it was the other way around, people on here would be baying for blood, let alone an arrest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holly Posted 3 February 2006 Share Posted 3 February 2006 they go from one extreme to the other there is either a ground full of police or there are none! i always thought having just a few was better, even if the game is a low risk one, it just shows that none of them are and some people are just born bloody idiots!!

They failed though good stuff mate i was gonna ask you about that.. will speak to you soon... if there more interested about teenage lads making gestures and spending months pursuing that than patroling beaumont leys etc then leicestershire constabulary is one fcukd up police force. how many police were at the game outside the ground and in the town for the cardiff match? im guesssing 400 including the bitches on stand by.. sureley some of these could be doing better things.? oh im bored now PS: during the game we looked out the back from L1 and there must have been 100 police outside drinking coffee and chatting during the game,,,, ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Isopen Posted 3 February 2006 Share Posted 3 February 2006 That's right it's all the police's fault some idiots decided to throw concrete at a coach All these mindless idiots will have achieved is: a) The clubs policing bill will go up, as this defeats the clubs arguement that we don't need police at certain games (oh yes you do the SAG & the police, boosting their budget will reply quoting this incident) b) All LCFC fans at away games will start get shoved around like sheep, as we will be labelled with the trouble making fans catagory. If anybody knows who they were on here, then shop 'em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigboy Posted 3 February 2006 Share Posted 3 February 2006 I think the coaches must have been speeding along the Aylestone Road and some nice Leicester fan must have tried to slow them down because of the speed camera, and the only way he/she could attract their attention was by trowing something at them. But because we now live in a police state, The Police are looking for someone to congratulate and maybe give an award to in recognition of this good deed.

SystonFox Posted 4 February 2006 Share Posted 4 February 2006 these people will definitely get caught if they are STH and stupidly decide its ok to go to a game now this season. a woman i work withs husband is chief steward and he saw a fight in the city end between to fans in our prem relegation season at the Walkers, the offending fan ran out the stadium and wasnt caught, untill he thought it'd be safe and forgotten about at the next home game he was identified by CCTV and ejected from the stadium and banned for 5 years. these thugs do get caught.
