How can they make you unless you commit a crime?

BTP, means they won't let you travel to Coventry without a match ticket by Train. The WMP lot will probably try and use section 27 notices.

How on earth can that be legally enforced? Isn't a man (or woman) allowed to travel where he likes? I'm not any sort of troublemaker but I'd be fucking livid if I was treated this way and would insist on being arrested if they wished to stop me.

If things like this start happening we all may as well pack in. And I agree I'd lose it with em and it would be a certain arrest. Why only give em 1800 tickets that's an absolute joke in itself

Seems pretty simple to avoid them though, just go a slightly different route? Although to be fair I've never understood the idea of travelling to a match you know you can't get into in the first place.

You can always get in if you've got a brain. Sneaked in various places. Plus nowt wrong with going for a day on piss with your mates is there if you haven't got a ticket.

Can you imagine any other group of people being treated in the draconian manner that football fans are, bans without conviction, travel restrictions, surrendering of passports etc Liberty etc would be all over it and some MPs would be feathering their own hats to defend em not to mention the legal aid on offer.

Can you imagine any other industry where a venue will be around 1/3rd full and they go to such lengths to turn people away from attending?

Don't disagree, it's a disgrace.

Go on then, I'll ask. What are your 'sneaking in' tactics?

I assume he means towns and Cities where the Plod have been heavy handed?

When it happens we tend to catch the train one stop after our destination then come back in the other way, they are less suspicious of you that way, for Chesterfield it would be taxis.

Just walk straight in the main entrance of a stadium you'll be surprised it can actually work. Don't stop for anyone and just walk like you know where your going. I did it at West ham in the premier league after I'd been lobbed out the away end and also at Liverpool. Did it at Doncaster this year without showing any ticket. Sneaked into many hospitality suites whilst already being in the ground for free ale and food. Slovenia away, Croatia away although that was after the game. Done it at Wembley on various occasions even did it in kolkata last week at the cricket. Oh yes did it at Rotherham in a friendly too but got caught that time. If you do get caught just act dumb and you'll be on ya way

Just go early there's never any plod but yes it's a taxi on Saturday

Always go early, Derby was the funniest with the police kettling our lot in outside the station to lump into the pubs near there, forgetting that there's a small subway bit that leads out near the hotel on the edge, walked that way and past.

Yes always remember derby and Leicester being an absolute joke.

Forest & County, by contrast, are cracking.

Proper city that's why who actually have people visiting unlike the other 2 fucking joke places. The worst thing is they hurd people who are going for a good time and a good drink who don't want trouble

That's badass, wish I wasn't a wimp so I could get away with stuff like that.

Bury fans finally rumbled a couple of seasons ago after doing this for years.
They would ring up the away club and ask for press tickets naming a publication, tickets to be picked up on the day of the match. In the end got done for fraud so be wary of trying it!!!!

Only ever done it once. In Tallinnn for England game couple of years ago. Walked straight through the turnstiles and nobody said anything. Turned around and couple hundred were running over a fence anyway so all security ran that way and loads more followed us through. Weird how easy it is elsewhere in Europe.

Surely getting lost is a serious problem once you've strolled into a ground via the main entrance. What do you do? Lock yourself in the shitter till kick off and then escape and hope for the best?

Just follow other people you generally end up in the right place

 

[Westbars_Spireite]

I'm pretty sure it wouldn't work at our place. Your best best if you did would be straight down the tunnel!

Tbh I obviously don't try it unless I have too. I remember getting thrown out in eindhoven too when I went to watch rangers but managed to get all the way up to the stands beforehand.

 

[Westbars_Spireite]

Requesting a 'press' or media pass for a one off game might work.

 

[Fedora Dale]

Taking a pair of goalie gloves and a towel for ball drying would probably work at Gigg Lane.

Walk through the main entrance, saying "I'm Eli Shuttlethwaite and Flickers has just signed me on emergency loan from Barnoldswick" or something similar.

Only snag is, you might have to play...

Must have been some who have got in pretending to be steward and then tossing the Yellow Hi Vis away and jumping in with away fans?

Sold 300 for Shrewsbury on Tuesday

 

[Hurrikeen]

Sold out Fleetwood tomorrow and no doubt be some of us in the home ends. Not sure what the "official" away allocation is for Fleetwood - 1300ish?, but if you know Walkley_Owl then you can update your sheet already.
