Sending nobbers and pool fans together Again... Scraps.
Whys it so hard to keep them back like they do us?

I hope this isn't true. Most supporters go to a game in the hope of arriving home fit and healthy.Just seen this on the North End board…….seems like they agree about the policing.

Well I thought last seasons handling of this fixture was about as bad as it could get.
This year has absolutely eclipsed it.
Blackpool South train station has just been attacked by 300+ Blackpool fans with weapons and flares, and not a policeman in sight.
Lost for words.
Agreed. Embarrassed if it is true.I hope this isn't true. Most supporters go to a game in the hope of arriving home fit and healthy.
Saw that.Saw plenty of scuffles up Broomfield Road.
One guy was spark out blood pouring from his ear.
I was held a good 45 mins at dumpdale last season on the official coach tooAt deepdale they keep us in for 15+ mins.
So surely they should do the same at bloomers.
Simple!
Common sense?
It wasn't much nicer on the street with Wheely bins flying tbfI was held a good 45 mins at dumpdale last season on the official coach too
Tough, you have to stay and take it like we did.Maybe because half of them were leaving 10 minutes before the end
Yeah they were, load of chaos going on up there. But apparently they hve charged a load of families on central car park, then gone up towards the station Where they were put firmly in there place.According to PNE online, knobber fans attacked at Blackpool South after the game?
To be fair 300 is still a minority, happens every derby game up and down the landAgreed. Embarrassed if it is true.
Lancashire police!Left the south stand and went the way the police sent us. Only to bump into Preston fans coming the other when we got too central drive. Bit of verbals between the groups. Blackpool police are useless. What is hard about keeping away fans back for 10mins. And don't say human rites every other police force does it.
My mate who was in the away end said they were held in the ground and then on the road outside the away end for about half an hour and then kettled all the way to Blackpool North by the police. Didn’t get to the station until gone 4pm apparently!Why wouldn’t they just keep them in for 20 minutes so everyone can clear I’ve no idea.
It's no worse than other rivalries really, if controlled properly there would be far less incidents.To be fair 300 is still a minority, happens every derby game up and down the land
It’s a shame but not surprising, especially with Lancs police and this fixture
It’s getting to the point were we’ll have no away fans at either fixture
Saw a big crowd outside looking down over station so assumed there was trouble.According to PNE online, knobber fans attacked at Blackpool South after the game?
The Pool fans weren’t there for a fight, they were just returning the lost flares that the Nobbers threw at the SouthJust seen this on the North End board…….seems like they agree about the policing.

It is a joke, puts me off going to games this nonsense. Was bad for us at theirs, sounds like they had it just as bad today. It's alright if you've got fuck all else to do and are a head the ball but most people just want to go about their business.My mate who was in the away end said they were held in the ground and then on the road outside the away end for about half an hour and then kettled all the way to Blackpool North by the police.

I'm only guessing but it is possible that the PKE fans didn't actually go to the game and just travelled the short distance to cause trouble?Saw some scuffles by Blackpool. South/Waterloo Road but don't know the full extent of it
If they would just keep them in for 20 mins afterwards whilst the crowds disperse it would save alot (not all) of the hassle
So many OB there today and they can't all have been local so therefore wouldn't have a clue about the fixture or the layout round the ground
Should have been in the West then.When we got in the south there were about 50 police all sat there eating their packed lunches
I saw some of it and it was handbags from both sides nothing serious at all. But again could be completely avoided if they just kept them in for 20 minutes.I was going to get my car as I park on South Shore car park following @Wizaard's sensible suggestion a couple of years back.
We were quite late or and getting to it as we'd all soaked up the atmosphere at the end of the game as I said in my other post, sharing the experience is wonderful.
Anyhow, there were some Nobbers on South Station giving it the big un to a few Blackpool fans, throwing bottles up towards the ramp off Waterloo Road bridge which our fans were decending and it escalated from there.
Me and TSSBro looked over, and said it was about a stupid a thing you could do really given how few of them there were.
When we got to the car we looked back and thought for a few moments about whether to intervene and basically decided against it. Why spoil a brilliant day getting involved.
There was one Nobber running as fast as he could through the car park looking behind him which caught my attention. He did have the Stone Island patch on his sleeve too which made me chuckle to myself.
That said I didn't see anyone following him.
As we were driving down Yeadon Way there was at least one unmarked police car, lights flashing heading that way.
Sometimes I feel like giving their little gobshites a smack but deep down they’re just football fans like me, hope everyone goes home safe.Well despite rivalries I hope everyone got home to their families safely
Blocking the exit from the south with a van. Clearly the brains of Britain, not. Wonder which came up with that idea???Sending nobbers and pool fans together Again... Scraps.
Whys it so hard to keep them back like they do us?
There was a Blackpool fan a knocked to the ground above the station steps. A small group of Blackpool walked up and around 8-10 Blackpool waded into Preston. Preston took a beating but don’t play the biggun if you’re not prepared for the circumstances.Just seen this on the North End board…….seems like they agree about the policing.
