This was the police intelligence, before the game? :D

I think your superiors may have slightly over egged the pudding. Are you suggesting that a united mob of Leeds/Millwall/Spurs/West ham/Chelsea
all came down to teach blues a lesson. I know you coppers are fond of tall tales, but that is a beauty.

yes, I was suggesting it and yes, that's how it panned out and I also mentioned the phrase "pre meditated" and a connection with England's hooligan element of that era, they were extremely organized and in fact contrary to the fact that most football thugs are neanderthals, I think none of us would dispute that , however the planners or organisers of the many instances of misbehavior of England followers (some clubs as well) were educated people from decent backgrounds with good paying jobs .....their pre match or tournament planning was actually meticulous

I'm not a copper by the way , never have been and unlikely to join The Force now, my feet are flat and my head is the wrong shape for the helmets

Throwing bricks on the roof, from Cattel Rd. Was this Geoff Capes and his mob?

I said Coventry Road turnstiles which were fairly close to the back of the actual Kop.....I never even mentioned Cattell Road For Christ's Sake.....and I saw the incident with my own eyes ....so there

And do you think it's just co-incidence that most of The Zulus (and many other Blues fans itching for a bit of agro as has been rightly mentioned) mainly came out of the lower Railway End when the disorder began
