huss9 Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 We're fucked if there's lads coming up from the likes of Leeds this weekend. They'll not hesitate in damaging property in the town centre Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffee_Johnny Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 They shall not pass. Levity aside, really hope it doesn’t descend into Battle of Cable Street like carnage. But there has been enough forewarning for an equally heavy police presence and enough anti-fascist people in the North East for it to do just that.

CheicksCalfs Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 If I was going on my own or with mates I wouldn't be bothered tbh. It's just cos I was taking kids that it's not worth it agro. Can't risk it on the off chance that nothing happens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slim Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Every match they have had they got handled and massively outnumbered by counter protesters. I still think it's going to be the same here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benwell Lad Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Some of the latest posts on this thread are probably the most depressing I've read on here. We simply can't allow racist scum to stop decent people enjoying a Saturday in Newcastle. The behaviour of the rioters that I've seen is absolutely cowardly, North East people are very proud of our city, and they may just get quite a shock if they upset the vast majority of decent people.

Tiresias Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 So apologies maybe revealing me not having been for a while but i'm going to this (racist fascist twats permitting) with mate and his kids, i have e-tickets all on my phone, this may be stupid question but having only used paper tickets in turnstyles previously we always just gave out the tickets, will the guy on turnstyles scan all my tickets and then let next 3 through on it?

Scan one barcode let one person through, scan next barcode next person goes through etc. They probably have an override button if they want to scan all three at once but not seen it done before.

Pokerprince2004 Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 Not sure how true it is but apparently the game on Saturday could be played behind closed doors now due to protests Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That the police have been briefing some local organisations that this may happen. What a fucking mess. Why can't they just make the EDL meeting illegal. Use some of that emergency covid lockdown legislation, that must be knocking around somewhere still 🙂 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M4 Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 Going into town and to the game on Saturday with my 2 little boys, so starting to feel a bit of concern over all this. I suppose the best plan is to get near and into the stadium as soon as possible? Hopefully, everything is smooth enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd maybe head to the Stack before the match, can't see anything happening in there. Not that I can see any trouble happening now with the sentences being dished out already.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 It'll be focused on Monument I would imagine, and maybe some people walking up from Central Station if they've travelled to cause trouble. Hopefully it'll be a lot smaller than it would've been before this week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
