Policing Operations: Football on Saturday

Fans starting gathering in the Market Square, Nottingham.

Later in the day, three Wolves fans were arrested. One after a flare was set off inside the ground. Two other arrests were for public order offences. 

 

First incidents occured when around 300 Wolves fans gathered in the Wetherspoons pub in Old Market Square ahead of the match. Outside, a few smoke bombs were thrown and there was much pushing and shoving with the large police presence there. They were eventually escorted south towards the ground.  

People in a section of the crowd looked a bit familiar to me .... as did their occasional half-hearted chants of E .... E ...  E D L etc (NOT the English Disco Lovers it seemed). 

I got the impression that some didn't like being photographed much, giving the expected gestures. A thunderflash landing close nearby.

Oh ..... and the result was apparently - Nottingham Forest 3 Wolves 1

But who the fuck cares ...... !!
