Precisely this. The club have a responsibility for the safety of every person they allow into the ground. Can’t believe idiots on here are standing up for the club. Also they have cells at the ground which means the police aren’t taken out of action for long following an arrest.

If they’d have arrested the few scroats at the front after the first incident it never would have escalated like it did. The club hold responsibility for this and Steve Neill even accepted this, yet imbeciles in our fans can’t understand this. Our club was a disgrace that day, as was the Northumbrian Police and it’ll take a lot more than a few phone calls to make people forget this.

The club haven’t even issued a public apology to its own fans, the level of contempt for its own fans in this is extraordinary and I won’t be returning next season at this rate

you have no idea about the paperwork and procedures that needs to be done just to get a person into custody have you.

you do have a valid point re initial arrests

a number of people from the club have made clear the failings that occurred and it did not hold the fans in contempt and they are clearly annoyed that some people did not do what they were meant to do.

Yes I do. I also know that they are taken to the stadium cells and left and processed post match, so the police can return to the stands quickly.

Yet these same failings occurred again at the weekend. Not good enough, not when it’s my 5 year old daughter sat below. Not when the flare could have killed the 3 year old that luckily wasn’t sat in the chair it struck on Saturday. Tell that to the family with 5 kids in row 9 who left at half time as their kids were terrified

Are the cells not still under the South Stand? Bit of a walk there and back.

You have to be joking. I went to games in the 70s from the age of 9 and there was regularly trouble at the games. My first match was Blackpool at home in 74 and it was absolute bedlam. Terrifying and exciting in equal measure.

Not Roker Park obviously. Never any trouble there.

So where did you find a fight then? You must have been looking for it. Age 9? Liar.

no you don't know. you cant throw somebody in the cells without any authorisations

their detention has to be, that is must be, authorised by the custody people. If there is a queue ?

the investigation as to what they have done may be after match.

same failings did not occur. there were a lot of stewards and police in the upper tier.

It was the idiot(s) who threw the smoke bomb that are to blame

I remember that one. 1-0 down when the gates opened, and you could see the Fulwell emptying and the Roker filling. All hell broke loose as we equalised (cracking shot from Tony Towers). Blackpool fans were jumping down the stairwells in the Roker End to get away. All that, and the little general scored a winner in injury time.

there used to be pockets of it at RP but not unless you count the Chelsea game in the milk cup. used to have a line of polis separating the fans in the roker end.

most of the bother if there was any was in the streets mostly after the game and that was daft lads looking for bother

Milk cup was 1985. Otherwise none. Not "daft lads", morons. Should have left them to have seven bells knocked out of them. Maybe they did and they post pretend thuggy posts on here. It's pathetic.

Not in the 70's - there was literally no segregation at any ground, and certainly not in the Blackpool game in 1974 that he was talking about, although that level of mayhem in the ground was bad even at the time. Taking other teams' "ends" was a badge of honour. Funnily enough, very few tried it on in the Fulwell.

sorry I should of said, that I cannot comment about safc until after 1979/ 80 as that is when I moved to sunderland but didn't go to the matches regularly until about 1984
