Does anyone seriously think there'll be any trouble Saturday

Because I don't. There wasn't any last time (a few minor scuffles apart), the police will employ the same tactics as then, all our known hooligans won't be allowed anywhere near town on the day of the match, England fans will be encouraged to drink in their own designated part of town, which almost all will be happy to do, and the England following isn't the mad, frothing at the mouth, beer-bellied, tattooed, mental lumps they used to be. So I'm predicting a quiet day, aggro-wise. Anyone reckon anything to the contrary?

Bit of an off on St Marys Street last time, and we've all seen the footage from the away fixture at Old Trafford. I don't know if anything will happen but I would not be surprised in the slightest if it did. Depends on how well the police manage it, if theres fans mixing every which way then it's bound to go off.

I just think that the police will have it well under control and, really, the St Mary St off was just a minor scuffle in the grand scheme of things. Old Trafford was England fans fighting each other, no Wales fans involved if my information is correct

Well yeah, I've seen bigger disorder with Cardiff as a city than I've ever seen with Wales as a country. :lol: Wasnt at OT, just saw the footage which is pretty funny, marching around the streets of Manchester. Heard a lot about a fair few Wurzels turning up ticketless and so on which got me thinking, but as I said wouldn't be surprised either way..

I'll be in the POW or the the Borough getting pissed anyway! :D :ayatollah:

It could easily happen with no segragation on the streets - especially before the match, but quite frankly who'd want to with the cctv coverage the city has got and the recent convictions?
Enjoy the drink and the day

There was some nasty beatings handed out to the england fans in the Welsh sections after their goal but I saw nothing outside the ground other than some extremely weird Welshman chasing Graham Taylor down past Bar Is It!

Wales were involved at OT too mate, few scuffles last time in Cardiff, St Mary and some pub 'Goat' or something, but I think you'd be nuts to get involved Saturday :ayatollah:
