Apparently while all this was going off, one Watford fan started taunting the United fans so a fellow Watford fan lamped him one.

The bloke who was doing the taunting did it before the match, wandered down from his seat near the half way line, pretended to wave to some away fans and then gave it rods. He didn't look all there to be honest.

Couldn't believe it when he came back to do it again when it was all going off. Maybe it's his regular thing but clearly the other Watford fan had enough of it and had a pop at him. Stewards hauled him out leaving Mr not quite all there to saunter back to his seat without much bother from the stewards.

Bloke who had a pop got let back in but left before full time with his poor lad, I imagine he'd had enough. Blades where we were gave him a thank you clap on his way out. Stewards and the cops were really poor in handling the whole thing.

I've never seen such a useless bunch of gormless, thick cunts in my life than the Stewards and Plod on duty at Watford last night. It was obvious something wasn't right in the away end and they just stood their gawping with their mouths open....when the St Johns eventually arrived on the scene they stopped for a cuppa at the bottom of the stand before eventually sauntering up the stairs with the urgency of a pair of fucking sloths. Thank God the lass appears to be OK, if not there would have been some major repercussions for Watford FC.

The Watford and Blades who ran on to try and get the attention of officials were a credit, thank-you lads. That curly haired Steward in the pink hi-viz, who was rightly told to fuck off out of it by a Copper when the reality of the scene finally dawned on them, was just interested in playing Big Man and chucking people out, even though a thick idiot sat behind me said he was only trying to help....

A potential disaster, learn from it Watford FC and you should be holding an enquiry with your Stewards and the Old Bill this morning. Fucking shambles.
 
I was up at the back corner about 20 feet away from the incident. Hope the poor lass makes a speedy recovery.

If someone had a heart attack, the chances are they would have been long gone the time it took (barring anyone performing CPR)

fair credit to any of the United lads who were trying to attract attention and the Watford fans whose intentions were admirable.

Watford need to look at what plans are in place for that kind of incident in the future, and ask the question what are the police actually getting paid to do because they are useless.
 
I'm sat on the train to the Great British Beer Festival with one of the CBF. She's discussing the Coppers actions last night.

"No one has ever calmed down by being told to calm down"

Genius - put it on a t-shirt.

Fair points - compared to last year when we had a couple of incidents this reaction was very slow and almost looked like they were ignoring the situation ..

Thank goodness all is well now .

I wasn't allowed back in.
I'd not had a drink or anything. I don't drink, and don't do lines or any of that shit.
Plod took my pic and said I'd be reported.
Who do I need to contact at sufc?

They bang on about safety, but incidents like this are shocking.
Ok, sometimes it might take a few moments to realise what's going off, but this seems more like Hillsborough mentality.

In theory you should be safer at a match than many other places, due to close proximity of safety staff, police and medical teams.
Watford and local plod need to investigate this properly and act.
I hope our club are raising the issue with them and the EFL.
 



I was just a few rows in front of the incident. First of all, really pleased to see that the woman concerned is ok - horrible thing to go through and so glad to hear you are fine.

Lot of lessons to learn from this, I think. Terrible response from Watford FC and thank goodness they don’t have a major liability case on their hands for negligence. I hope they respond just as robustly now as they would do had it turned out for the worse, (as it easily could have). Launching an inquiry with full recommendations now is the correct response, not just heaving a sigh of relief and hoping it doesn’t happen again. I would like to see a public statement from the club that they acknowledge the slow response and that they will review and amend their systems accordingly.
