As predicted in the thread a couple of days ago about 'who remembers Happy', with PC Dave Mapp been made redundant and a different football unit now looking after us (northants police) I feel these incidents will become more common.

Hope the lad is alright.
It's got nothing to do with who the Old Bill are as the guilty parties so to speak are from Bradford.
Hugely disappointed with this, esp after one of ours was smashed by rods last week.Old Bill and Stewards didn't help the situation yesterday mate in fairness.
Everyone is okay. Luckily there was a lot Cov fans who jumped in to split it up.

We've got a small element of uber-chavs emerging and like the idiot throwing bottle-top yesterday and pointed out by a fellow fan, the club is trying to eliminate.
Hope the lad is alright and the fallout from the gaffers and this doesn't create undue animosity.
Regards, Bradford.

Dave Mapp was there and it was a good job he was as he alone solved the problem, when he leaves we will have no one in our corner.
absolute cretins - hopefully they were stopped in their tracks after?The young lad is ok, nasty cut on his eye and damaged his glasses but he was able to tavel home with us.
It was a coward who attacked him as one he was one of last onto the coach, four of them got at him, one punched him and ran off. Everyone started to get off coach only to be confronted by police running towards up with battons in hand.
Dave Mapp came straight through and calmed things down till a big Sargent from Bradford started to get involved.
The issue everyone had was the lads that did it were taunting us from behind the old bill and then started to walk off, but they did get in the one who hit him in the end and he was arrested.
It was so silly how we all came out of ground to then walk through there fans to get to coaches, very badly set up.
Generally they were decent fans and good support, just ashame the odd idiot ruins it for the majority.

A copper is never in your corner.
Oh right, didn't realise he was still here. Any idea when he leaves? Hope he's still here for Swindon in December if not I'm expecting similar events to occur but on a bigger scale.
Glad to here the lad is okay.

The irony of course is that this site has been full of sickening, rose tinted "good old days" bollocks gloryfing football violence of the last week. Never "our" fault is it?

Whoever you support these things happen unfortunately. Cov fans have taken it and given it out over the years, so we are no different to any other club.
Usually the offenders are in the minority of the fan base as a whole...but in the majority of the fan base when the attacks occur! So brave aren't they?
Speak up, point the finger, make the offenders accountable; whoever you support.

After hearing about this I'm ashamed to be a Bantam tonight (not just words on a screen, I honestly feel very ashamed that one of the Football Family has been attacked). I do hope the lad is ok. Also, if the situation about the heavy handed police is correct this is totally out of order.
Lets hope the idiots get banning orders etc so they don't darken the doorsteps of a stadium again.
Dont be mate- they're your team.. we all have "one love"... a few bellends who think they are "tough" attacking innocents shouldnt make you feel ashamed- not your fault.
Capital Punishment is the answer..
"time now to bring back the birch and the cat' so them that hurt others get some hurt back"
Oh my god.
Might not be in your corner on every occassion... and on the odd occassions I've had reason to claim "unfair" - but thank god we have them.. good and bad... imagine this world and our "society" without them.
oh my god what G..you dont agree then?
Well-said. The post was correct - the police are never "in your corner". They are only on the side of the law...generally speaking, like society as a whole there's always a bad apple there too...without them we would quickly descend into anarchy.
