What was the ‘Trouble’ after the game all about? 09:07 - Aug 29 with 12870 views | Matt_Netherlands | Think we’ll all agree it’s not a good look and is a bit embarrassing. Must be quite a while since we’ve had that sort of thing after what in all honesty, is quite a meaningless home game (in terms of opposition and point in the season). Looks like it’s all barking, no biting plus a few young kids who don’t look like they were at the game but fancied a scrap? (Also yes…. Appreciate this isn’t “trouble” in the context of days gone by, but just strange to see something like this at PR these days) |  | | |  |

What was the ‘Trouble’ after the game all about? on 13:08 - Aug 30 by Sikamikanico | Not the same but I saw the steward in section J of the West Stand get a torrent of abuse midway through the 2nd half. Why do some people seem to be unable to behave like a normal person at a football match? |
There was also a lot of abuse at the stewards in Upper Sir Bobby Robson who were trying to deal with an unruly fan. And few of our fans gave a couple the stewards at MK Dons a lot of grief last season which I thought was appalling. I apologised to them as I left the ground. |  | |  |

What was the ‘Trouble’ after the game all about? on 09:17 - Aug 29 by DJR | Having got the train a few times last season and this, sadly this sort of behaviour is not uncommon as the away fans and home fans head in the direction of the station. My son said there were some fisticuffs reported on Saturday which I didn't see, and that happened a few times last season. It's all rather pathetic but I do keep an eye out, and don't show my colours, because it only takes one idiot. The stupid thing is that those young Ipswich fans with plenty of bravado would run a mile if real trouble broke out. [Post edited 29 Aug 2022 9:21]

Our new ‘fans’ and it’s happening more regularly on that walk back towards the station when they outnumber the opposition. A small group of Northampton fans were standing near Princes Street bridge after the game on Tuesday because they weren’t sure where their coach was parked. Mix of males and females and nearly all OAP’s so not the least bit threatening. Then a few groups of our youth came past and gave them a load of abuse for no reason other than that they saw that they had away colours on. They must have been feeling really brave to give some to a few OAP’s that they outnumbered. Looking forward to them getting dealt with one way or another. |  | |  |

Lack of police resource, social unrest etc.... |  | |  |

We'll see if they're so brave next season when Millwall come to town. |  |

Yeah true. There’ll be other opportunities though because the club are reluctant to pay for extra resourcing despite what Ashton says about fan experience etc. The Colchester game was a predictable one as an example, didn’t want cops in the ground though. |  | |  |

Cambridge will be a flashpoint if the police/club decide it isn't worth policing. |  |

What was the ‘Trouble’ after the game all about? on 10:22 - Aug 29 by StochesStotasBlewe | Yep. Had a nice chinwag with a handful of Barnsley fans on the walk back to Burrel Road car park and we all came to the conclusion that the Harness ‘goal’ should have stood, the play off final and the match in general. Wished them a safe journey home and went our separate ways. Had my swear and cuss during the game. How it should be. |
I commented earlier on this thread because I walked to the station after the game. I have since come out to a small town south of Alicante in Spain, and visited a legal firm today to sort a family matter out. Coincidentally, I got chatting there to a couple from Barnsley who are season ticket holders. We had a great chat. They don't think they'll do well this season, and bemoaned their fate as a small club, although apparently their owner is very wealthy. On parting, I wished them all the best, and said I hoped Barnsley get promoted along with us. As you say, how it should be. |  | |  |
