Chorley council

Since when can a council ban people from its town centre? We should turn up en-masse anyway. Sit in the park and have a kickabout.

Or just smash the lot up for good measure.

Yet another example of nanny-state Britain.

They may as well have just rolled out the red carpet. Chorley 4 times this season for each of the mentioned away games.

Here come the Cabal.....

Why do residents of a town have to put up with loads of pissed up gobshites" taking over " their quite small town centre when they aren't even the hosts?

 

[TJB.]

'Large clubs'...

Will they spread the word on Chorley FM, I wonder?

I'm sure the local boozers will be thrilled with this ruling.

 

[hazzasufc_]

Shame, I was just gearing up for some fresh kidney punches in Chorley.

Coming in your ears!

 

[Harry's Game]

Just play all football games behind closed doors in case it frightens the sheep and horses, it’s cleary the will of the people.

At least buy us a drink first...

Because the majority of football fans are cunts who expect everyone to put up with low level bellendry and get all prissy when the cops (or councils in this case) implement measures to try and stop decent people getting caught up in their brainless shite.

So ALL football fans should be banned because most are bell ends? Dangerous road to walk down is that.

Not all football fans are Bell ends, but all Bell ends are football fans.

Edit: not to mention it’s a mere 3 hours out of 7 days.

I'm very tempted to write a lengthy comment about Chorley Council (several years ago, as a startup, we bid on a project for them). I won't go into detail, the only thing I'll say is that after putting in several revisions of a quote, and spending countless hours on the phone to someone (them ringing me, not the other way around), I passed them over (for free) to an IT company in Preston.

 

[nopigfansintown]

So town centres that are struggling, are turning down business because it's coming from undesirable football fans. Insanity. I'm sure the shops, pubs and eateries are delighted.

I know this is pie in the sky but personally, I’d say that the focus needs to move on the tacit acceptance of the behaviour of the bell-ends rather than the Plod or town centres that have to try and ensure security for everyone.
This board is full of complaints about SYPD and steel walls etc but no recognition of even just the low-level stuff that means those steps are sometimes necessary.
Shouting and swearing and being generally tanked up and lairy might all be part of the match experience but even that gives Plod the excuse to do what they do.
We might never live in a society where there’s no trouble at football, but if we want to stop police/council interference in us going about our business then the underlying cause of it needs stamping out.

Chorley is just another of those Lancashire EDL sympathising redneck towns which are prevalent around there and which you try to avoid.

 

[SwissBlade]

I think they’re missing a trick here.

They’d be better off welcoming those fans, liaising with the clubs and providing places for the fans to drink at inflated prices.

Put resident only restrictions in place and they could be coining it in

 

[BigBed]

It can't be enforced, it isn't legal, unless they get asbo's for each and every football fan, then they can do fuck all.
Who thinks this shit up?

It’s hard enough to get a Saturday train to Bolton from Manchester, let alone volunteer to go further only to come back again, so it’s really only the Preston game at issue here.

The council haven’t banned anybody, and they could have put in a caveat that well-behaved fans would be welcome, but that misbehaviour will not be tolerated. Alternatively, let SYP police Chorley on match days, they’d have the whole town on lockdown every Saturday.

I thought Chorley was a place made up by Peter Kay for Phoenix Nights!

Or just police it properly like they do at Preston, with a modicum of grace and an ability to communicate reasonably.

Maybe the fans who visit other towns causing chaos need nannying. Most Blades fans, like most football fans, are great. Sadly a minority of idiots ruin it for everyone. They're the ones to blame, not the residents of Chorley.

Do you ban every shopper because someone’s stumbled into a town centre off his head on spice?

There’s a minority of idiots in life.

Was going to say - I bet the pub landlords are made up that most weekends they'd have a captive audience drinking hard for a couple of hours....

 

[Ainsley Harriott]

Update: a solicitor has been contacted about it.

Not by myself I’ll add.

Chorley away anyone?

Perhaps comments like these explain why football fans are being banned.

just smash the lot up for good measure.

 

[Foxy]

Postcode is incorrect too.

 

[boo radley]

If they would like the club to pass their letter on to supporters groups, perhaps the club could guide Chorley council to this thread to point out how diverse football fans are these days.
Chorley council may then investigate the possibility of getting hold of the proper name of Ainsley Harriott so that asbo can be put in place against him for his suggestion of trashing their town, allowing the rest of us to enjoy a good day out .

Just say you wouldn't pay the back hander we are all men of the world
