How can you be made Match Commander, when still learning ? Haven't they learnt anything from Duckenfield ?

Trust levels were already at 0%, so they couldn't get worse, and improbable they would improve, sadly.

Acab.

As people who are following this may know the Independent Police Complaints body rejected the complaint from the Crystal Palace Supports Trusts that had been forwarded to them by the Sussex police on the basis that complaints could not be put forward on behalf of a group but had to be by a named individual.

We need individual fans willing to put their names to either one or more of the following specific complaints. If no one comes forward by the end of this week we will have to drop these complaints. A Board member has been able to put their name to 28 complaints as he was one of the people affected but the following were not things that happened to him so he cannot complain about them.

Some people have already contacted me before and said they would be willing for their names to be used but can they (and anyone else) scan the details below and let me know by pm if they were directly affected by any of them and which one/ones they were affected by. I will then need their name address telephone number and email and confirmation they are happy for the Trust to put their name forward as being affected.

The complaints that need somebody to put their name to are as follows:-

Arrival and Escort to Brighton Railway Station

1. When CPFC fans requested to leave Buddies Bar officers forcefully created a containment and some officers became aggressive.

2. That the CPFC fans were marched in a rolling containment to Brighton Railway Station taking an hour and half; this should have taken no more than 30 minutes. This suggests a lack of planning by the match commander.

3. That along the route they were repeatedly stopped to ensure more CPFC fans could be forced into the rolling containment.

4. That owing to being held in this rolling containment CPFC fans were targeted with verbal and physical abuse from BHAFC fans. Pub locations for both sets of fans were know in advance, a pre-arranged route should have been identified, with adequate briefing to staff, to prevent CPFC fans being targeted.

5. That whilst held in this rolling containment officers were rude and aggressive, using force in an untargeted fashion.

6. That when the rolling containment came to a stop or corner, this led to fans jostling with officers. Officers responded by drawing and on occasion using their batons against whoever was closest; including strikes to the head.

7. That there was a lack of verbal communication with CPFC fans.

CPFC Fans Leaving the Amex Stadium

25. CPFC fans who had seen the match were made to wait for an hour outside of the stadium before moving off to Falmer Railway Station.

26. During this time there was insufficient segregation between the two fan groups. BHAFC fans were allowed to shout abuse and threats at waiting CPFC fans who were contained by police.

27. CPFC fans were told to board a London bound service, regardless of whether they were staying in Brighton or lived elsewhere.

28.That officers pushed and used force on people to get them onto the train.

29. That 20 CPFC fans who persuaded officers that they needed to wait for the next train (to an alternative location) were subjected to verbal abuse and threats from BHAFC fans.

30. CPFC fans were threatened with arrest when pleading with officers not to be forced onto the train.

A lie is halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its boots on

These guys don’t need DCI Hastings over at AC-12. Good work fyp.

So I manage a Workshop which provides a safe learning environment for blokes struggling with PTSD and other mental health issues. Being a Palace fan isn't listed yet.

Whilst FYP deserve huge congrats for their sterling work in doing this & I hope they get the outcome they deserve, my worry is there will be a backlash on Dec 4th when we meet again at the 'mansex'. I honestly can see a concerted effort by Sussex Police to 'implicate' Palace fans in whatever means possible.

Will they 'plant' items on unsuspecting fans as they arrive, will fans be 'coralled' as they arrive at stations? I fear it could kick off big time coz of the actions of the police.
