To be fair anything could have happened to the supporters in the fishwick stand. somebody may have already been seriously hurt.

F*cking idiots whoever they are. If it's Hannover I hope they never play in the UK again. If it people in the Burnley end they clearly don't support BFC and want to wreck the teams preparations. Embarrassing imbeciles.

Usual moronic posting about the Police.

It's now about getting people home safely. There's reports of Hannover fans with knives.

Let the home fans leave, and keep the ******* halfwits locked in until the Police have reinforcements.

I'm not really sure why the Police are getting the blame here. Why the **** did we arrange a game against Hannover anyway.

It's now about ensuring public safety, not a football match.

Well Hannover's lot will be used to cops with sub-machine guns so make of that what you will

I believe the police were searching the away stand for particular fans. Hopefully those fans were arrested for not only the safety of Burnley fans but their own!

Well in that case the police should be in "riot" gear regardless of the oppositions notoriety.

If any of them are caught with knives, surely it's an instant custodial sentence?

From the BLS, looked 99% Hannover. Disgraceful and liked pre-planned. Burnley fans reacted with a bit of chanting and got seats thrown back at them for their troubles.

I thought the stewarding was very passive and the police reaction slow.

And for what it's worth we played a turgid 442 with zero creativity and should have been about 3 down before we scored.

Sproggy · Post by **Sproggy** » Sat Aug 05, 2017 4:55 pm

Fine so far walking through town. Hanover fans being kept in and will eventually be escorted out of the vicinity (spoke to a very reasonable official on the way out).

the signal for it to start was grays reaction,to the bad late tackle on him. they all then ran to the top end of the cfs and across the lge burnley banner, they then threw about 15 seats across the divide and burnley fans then threw about 4 of them back about 60% of the hannover fans where involved
