WEED CLUB It was 2000 when I went I think and it was kicking off everywhere but hooliganism was still pretty rife then. I can't recall hearing about any trouble there since so was surprised to see the police statement

Something must have sparked this for police to use these tactics.
WMP were shitting themselves over a certain excitable demographic turning up looking to attack Jews.
I remember a League Cup game at Elm Park, we lot on I think penalties - Craig Middleton missing. Bloody cold, their hoolies (all looking about 12-13) rattling a door ("GRR, IF ONLY THE DOOR WASN'T IN THE WAY WE'D HAVE YOU!") whilst conveniently ignoring the fact the fence door was attached to was at most 2 feet tall.
I notice Bradford and Bolton have early kick off's, be nice to have a bit of good news there before kick off
Stockport could well end up battering Exeter

I remember my brother coming home from Hillsborough in tears after we fucked it up there in the 08/09 season. One of my earliest memories of Cardiff actually. I think my old man could be done for child abuse for forcing this club on me
Sheffield is a fucking trek mun and I'd already been to Hillsborough. Would have bought the tickets in advance of knowing it was a crunch game for the City
They made 4 up on us the other day and anyway as you were quick to point out to me the other day, I'm only saying what could happen

Is it just they are using these tactics for or every club.
If it's just us why.
Do they have intelligence etc.
Give a dog a bad name.
Perphaps it's because some forums boast about previous bad behaviour and even selling books about it.
Trouble is if there is intelligence the police would be in trouble if they didn't take precautions.

But you would still have seen or heard about it.

Well it’s a relatively high profile game as we can seal promotion, and thanks to the ridiculous allocation they gave us there will inevitably be city fans going up without tickets and also trying to get tickets for the home end. That being said, it’s Reading not Swansea ffs
Thanes Valley Police did have a rep for heavy handedness and being OTT. Hope they didn't do what West Midlands police did for Two Aviv game and rely on AI to analyse risk.
Exactly
Yeah, nobody is buying the "oh we used AI" defence, tbf.

So it’s the same scenario as midweek where if we win and Stockport drop points we’re up? Or is a win good enough? Not hopeful either way if I’m honest, can’t see us getting a result there
They need to be perfect and we'd need to not get another point and blow a goal difference advantage of about 20

You say that like it’s a feat that we’re incapable of

Bolton are gone. They have to win all their games and make up a +15 goal difference and hope we lose all our games.
I didn't go to that game as watching Cardiff rugby in European Cup semi final (Champions league equivalent) where they managed to lose in a penalty shootout which is incredibly rare in top level rugby. Only Cardiff could pull off that double whammyYou say that like it’s a feat that we’re incapable of

In the Doomsday scenario, our goal difference would disappear no problem - we would be constantly losing at least one and Stockport would be gaining one, so the swing would be at least 2 each game.
