Mentor, I mind getting police escrot through a housing estate that was rough as fuck on way to the ground. Kids of six or seven years of age gobbing on us in full view of police who stood back and did fuck all about it. As it was Bonfire night, kids running out of derelict houses/flats with floorboards for the bonfire.
Post match they closed off a dual carriageway to take us back to the station. When I asked the police why, rather than going back the way we came, was told that despite the 4-0 loss some of us wouldn't have come out alive
