Any reason why the gate was closed tonight after the match? Absolutely ridiculous.

so fans don't clash on Henry St.

20’s is correct, but also correct that Lancs Police are “Clueless” in Pre-match planning & risk assessment.

Too busy “covering their own arses@ & “sponging overtime of the state” if you ask me.

 

[Brett&Murphs.]

They opened it after due to fan demand.

Fan demand or they were going to open it anyway like they “eventually” have to do?

 

[Brett&Murphs.]

Not sure If they do at other games can’t be arsed waiting there normally so just walk round.

 

[Satriale's Pork Store]

Those 98 Cheltenham fans were a real threat tonight.

 

[Marcusbeansontoast]

Should have kept both the Cheltenham fans who came tonight behind for 15 minutes until we dispersed

Those 98 Cheltenham fans were a real threat tonight.

Given what we've seen in the past the police would struggle to deal with a crowd like that.
