Just listening to the 12 o'clock news on Radio Sheffield and they have just reported on this. Anyway a spokesperson for Staffordshire Police said that the trouble started after Port Vale fans decided to attack Sheffield United supporters after the game with weapons including a concrete block!
Not that it takes much to get our numpties going however it seems to finger of blame on this occasion that be pointed at the home team.
Vale fans were throwing Police cones at the Police. I assume they were meant to be thrown at Blades fans but they were being thrown by people at the back of the crowd, surprise, surprise, so they didn't reach our fans. One Vale fan I was walking past, threw an empty Coca Cola bottle, a plastic one, you can imagine how far that travelled before harmlessly falling to the floor.
Oh, and drivinng back through the centre of Burslem, we saw what looked like OAP rejects from "This is England" and I mean women! Women in their late 50's, in Crombies, Levi Sta Prest, Doc Martens boots, shaved head but with a long fringe and long at the back, I am not joking.
What on earth do they put in the water out there?
Also, keeping us amused while stuck at a red light, a druggy/drunk, who dropped his fag on the floor, and could not work out how to pick it up, bobbing up and down, reaching out into thin air, without getting close to it. Three young lads, about 10 years old, with skateboards, were in hysterics watching him.
