The trouble at the Leeds game lasted just a few seconds. Was caused solely by Barnsley fans. Involved no Leeds fans and was only in one area of the ground. Source: South Yorkshire police football team
The Leeds fans that ran past me in the ponty end must have been a figment of my imagination then. Sent from the darkest recesses of a poisoned mind.
Hmm what about the leeds fans who celebrated their 1st goal in the esl closest to the away end? Or the ones who did same near the ponty and stewards had a job on trying to get them out of the ground without a hiding? I suppose it was barnsley fans in the leeds end who threw blue flares on the pitch too
Also according to my leeds supporting mate who was at the game syp were no angels forcing all leeds fans into the train station then locking the doors everyone crushed together kids screaming.
No no no. it was only Barnsley fans fighting with themselves and it lasted a few seconds and it was only at the north end of the east stand. Nothing happened in the ponty either. There is no wonder people have no faith in them
I best get my self to a eye specialist then because mine are playing tricks on me.... or were Barnsley fans celebrating leeds scoring I'm confused! My mate said syp treat leeds fans like cattle after the game forcing them all into the station then locking the doors kids screaming and upset he said syp must have had alot of complaints about the incident
5 minutes before the Leeds goal, there was nobody sat in that part of the East Stand closest to the Leeds fans. Hate to say it, but our fans incited the violence in that corner. Sent from space using satellites and things
I was in the station (Sheffield bound platform). I couldn't see what was happening outside, but the police weren't handling it well.
I can't really comment as I wasn't there my mate follows leeds home and away I asked him if he came across any trouble and he just said no not really just syp forcing everyone into the train station locking the doors kids scared and screaming lads kicking off with police for how they had been treated.
The problem was they the platforms are quite narrow. Limited access to the station was therefore allowed. The trouble was that everyone was being held back outside. When the doors opened, there were many little kids squashed and scared shitless.
Dare I say did they learn nothing from Hillsborough? It's incredible crushing like that can be allowed to happen after all we've been through.
