Stuliasz Posted 7 February 2009 Posted 7 February 2009 Just wondering if anyone else was caught up in the trouble that occurred around Jarrom Street at the Robert Peel / Gateway pub area. Around 4ish, we had the Oldham 'firm' attacking our pub (apparently having been in The Gateway pub before) smashing in a load of the windows in the Robert Peel, some by throwing bottles and some by punching the windows in. Luckily no-one was hurt but could have been much worse. The police were soon covering the entire area but it is really a shame that there has to be these minorities. Talking to a few people in the Robert Peel, it seems that the landlord of the Gateway had advertised the pub as an 'away fans' pub for this game and as a result, the hooligan minority decided to use it to intimidate the regulars who were forced out of that pub into ours before it was attacked. Did anyone else have this unpleasant experience this afternoon?
Tilley Posted 7 February 2009 Posted 7 February 2009 Ah, that is why the entire Leicestershire constabulary were down the Walkers today.
leicesterseddon Posted 7 February 2009 Posted 7 February 2009 most police and stewards i've seen in that corner this season and possibly for a long time. wondered what that was all about.
BoneDog Posted 7 February 2009 Posted 7 February 2009 Piss. I was gonna go to the Peel about 3 but went to the Swan and Rushes for the 1st time instead. Wounded. I could of knocked a few of em out
JakeShingler Posted 8 February 2009 Posted 8 February 2009 Walked past the Gateway as the police had them surounded. But they all just go escorted to the ground.

Yeh the police only turned up in their numbers after all the trouble and then kept them all penned in at the Gateway before escorting them.
Tubes Posted 8 February 2009 Posted 8 February 2009 I was in the Peel when it happened. Just noticed everything go quiet at the other end of the pub then a window came through. The staff were brilliant though and had the doors all locked instantly. One of the lads I know was outside having a fag when it happened and said it was two mini buses pulling up then they put the windows through and was enticing everyone out. Then they headed towards the Gateway pub with loads of coppers turning up and then marching to my estimations about 100 of them away.
Tom smith Posted 8 February 2009 Posted 8 February 2009 I heared that something happened down oldham in the first game thats why they brought so many lads up ??
JakeShingler Posted 8 February 2009 Posted 8 February 2009 I would say there were about 50 - 60 of them.
Tubes Posted 8 February 2009 Posted 8 February 2009 I would say there were about 50 - 60 of them. Fair enough, I was a tad drunk by then so im blaming my exageration (sp) on that.
JakeShingler Posted 8 February 2009 Posted 8 February 2009 Fair enough, I was a tad drunk by then so im blaming my exageration (sp) on that. Well that's jus how many i seen
Corky Posted 8 February 2009 Posted 8 February 2009 I was walking past the Peel at about 5pm, and I heard a lot of singing. Not sure about trouble though.
OAFC Posted 8 February 2009 Posted 8 February 2009 Well that's jus how many i seen Its always the minority spoiling it for us on away games, we seem to have our fair share of idiots that are intent on causing trouble. The late Kick off did nothing to help things but that’s never an excuse, when we got stuffed off Hereford away Hereford fans weren’t interested in hassle so the Idiots turned on themselves and even managed to get a mention on ssn for fighting each other in the Ground! Oldham Lads these days seem hell bent on Killing or destroying everything, Oldham as a night out is pure Hell these days, and as a place well....................

Corky Posted 8 February 2009 Posted 8 February 2009 They were all scruffy bastards. Jake, were you on the 38 into the centre about 2.30-3pm, with about 4 mates?
JakeShingler Posted 8 February 2009 Posted 8 February 2009 Jake, were you on the 38 into the centre about 2.30-3pm, with about 4 mates? Yes sat at the back. Were was you?
OAFC Posted 8 February 2009 Posted 8 February 2009 They were all scruffy bastards. That will be the Hibs fans that tag on or some of the man city lot Seriousley though I dont see the point.
Corky Posted 8 February 2009 Posted 8 February 2009 Yes sat at the back.Were was you? I was at the front. I thought I saw you. Were you upstairs?
JakeShingler Posted 8 February 2009 Posted 8 February 2009 I was at the front.I thought I saw you. Were you upstairs? Yes. How come you was on that bus?
Tom smith Posted 8 February 2009 Posted 8 February 2009 I heared Leicester caused trouble at oldham in the away game which made oldham bring lads to this game?
JakeShingler Posted 8 February 2009 Posted 8 February 2009 I heared Leicester caused trouble at oldham in the away game which made oldham bring lads to this game? Never heard anything about that.
AoWW Posted 8 February 2009 Posted 8 February 2009 I heared Leicester caused trouble at oldham in the away game which made oldham bring lads to this game? Yes, you said that a few hours ago in this thread.
OAFC Posted 8 February 2009 Posted 8 February 2009 I heared Leicester caused trouble at oldham in the away game which made oldham bring lads to this game? I dont think that was the case as I was drinking with the Leicester lot before the game, and afterwards it passed well. Leeds however will be a different tale as in our wisdom we have given them 4600, the whole of the stand you were in.
GLC Posted 8 February 2009 Posted 8 February 2009 Trouble in loughborough aswell, loads of police outside of a pub, Oldham fans locked inside
markbsac Posted 8 February 2009 Posted 8 February 2009 Trouble in loughborough aswell, loads of police outside of a pub, Oldham fans locked inside i think you will find they were qpr fans on the way to play the red scum........
