    Only for Season Ticket holders, until 30th June --- which is a bit unfair on non ST holders as we could know our opponents by then but can't buy a ticket !!!!!!!

     

    List of potential opponents, and the logistics of getting there, not exactly mouth watering. Seed Listings

    Assuming the seeds from Round 1 win thru, we'll draw someone from the non-seeds list detailed in Round-2.

     

    Have a look thru them and X-ref here -- Stadiums and you'll see some of our potential opponents play in not much more than public parks. Ticket scramble ahead if the destination is feasible for sizeable numbers, and our opponents may not be so flexible as Llanelli were.

    I find it really hard to understand why people cannot grasp the reasons for fans being in an uproar against the police here. No one has condoned smoke bombs being brought into the stadium, or being set off during the game, or being thrown toward the pitch, which is still to be proved. No one has argued that this was the start of the problems, however does setting off 3/4 smoke bombs merit the response given. My answer would be no.

     

    In my opinion there were many incidents that were not dealt with appropriately by the police during Saturdays game.

    Firstly was the way they conducted arrests on possible suspects, normally what happens is the police would view CCTV and then move on the suspect, where as Saturday was a case of move in and grab on the advice of stewards. Which has lead to one lad in particular being lifted, and It has now been discovered that this lad is innocent. So there's the first thing that's wrong.

     

    The whole attitude of the police toward any member of the support who were confident enough to question there actions, were then threatened with arrest.

     

    Stop and search on anyone they chose with what seemed like very little intelligence, ranging from lads in their 20s to boys who are 15 being taken to the toilet/concourse to be searched. Which opens up a whole host of issues surrounding that.

     

    The kettling in and detail taking, searching and arresting of fans in the end section, with the majority innocent of any of the smoke bomb offences. Remembering that two or three people had already been arrested , therefore the police were looking for one maybe two people in that full section.

     

    Due to the kettling in of fans, parents were separated from their children. Which caused uspet on both sides, with the police being very reluctant to co-operate and allow these distressed children to find their parents. So much so that one parent was threatened with arrest if he did not leave when he was trying to get his son.

     

    It's already been said but someone hit the panic button and called in the police who were at ibrox policing the rangers game. Many officers who came in were under the illusion a riot was taking place.

     

    When you look back at the kettling in of fans, I would applaud the bois involved as it could have went sour very very quickly. If the lads began to push against the police line it had the possibility of turning ugly. So using restraint and common sense, something missing from the police, the situation did not escalate further than it already had.

     

    All in all the police intimidated, threatened and incited crowd trouble. Refused people their civil and human rights. For what? An incident that could have and should have been dealt with in a much more appropriate way.

     

    Now let me ask you this? For you all out there who have children, would you have been happy for your 15 year old son to be searched by police with no responsible adult/guardian of that child present? Or for your child to become distressed due to a situation that escalated due to the actions of the very people who are meant to protect you?

     

    These are the points that the Heavy Hands Empty Stands campaign surely will look to address. It is about time we all stood together against the oppression that we see in Scottish football grounds. There are much bigger issues than a few smokes.

    on the basis of this I hope formal complaints have been made and those arrested will have a long line of witnesses willing to voice their innocence

    Why give the Police any reason at all to be "heavy handed"? If there are no smoke bombs there is no issue. Don't take them to the game it's not clever and it's not fair on the surrounding supporters who are innocent bystanders and are herded by the Police as they were in the same area.

     

    The Bois are a credit and well liked by other supporters due to the atmosphere they create. Don't let them become an embarrassment.

    agree with that and we run the risk of undoing all the good work and special relationship we have with MFC and spoiling it all. thats not what I want. until smoke pellets become legal its time to leave them at home me thinks
