A mass of scousers and locals getting aled up before the game; loads of travelling fans without tickets trying to force entry; and this being our last home game and LFC with a chance [or not] of the title, both sets of supporters likely to invade the pitch.

I suspect more than a chance of a risk of public disorder so upping the police presence is a no-brainer.

Oh and don't local law always travel with away fans?

Interesting discussion in my local last night, (my local now being in Liverpool since I moved here last August - although I remain a staunch Eagle).

Apparently a number of Chelsea fans have bought tickets to our match in order to duff up the Liverpool fans around them. Should bring all the joys of the old days of football hooliganism into the 21st century.

Crystal Palace - dull it's not!

I would take a hefty wager that would be bollocks

As far as the rules go, it's a website not a democracy - Hambo 3/6/2014

Not sure where they get this info from but it sounds like utter rubbish to me. Scousers playing the victim already and nothing has even happened yet!

If the Chelsea fans were so desperate to "duff them up" why not just head to Trafalgar Square where they will all be having lunch?

Whenever I feel the need to exercise, I lie down until it goes away.

Now come on Sally believe nothing that you hear and only half what you see.

Surely these Chelsea thugs could have 'duffed' up the Liverpool Fans last week on the 27th April.

Its not exactly easy to get a ticket for Palace with all the ticket restrictions and only 26,000 to go around.

And last and not least i ended up on the DOG TRACK in our Win at the Bridge in 1976.!!!!!

Chelsea ruffians.!!!
