. Few stewards where have they all gone, heard rumours on strike due to lack of pay. (dunno if that's true)

Had a run in with a women in an orange hat (don't know what that colour police hat means) she was amongst a load of police harrasing young lads.
Seemed a bit of a power crazy young lady the way she answered my question.

What's with this over policing? Are they barrow police. Should be out fighting crime

Not over policing at all, if you get a 4,000 crowd this is what is required to stop the types of incidents seen at Stockport last week. You know we have our fair number of Neanderthals or young lads in your terminology who gather at the away barrier in the ground or hover around the bridge after the game looking for trouble.
The police were excellent and thankfully stopped any bother.

Pathetic.
It was not a waste as they prevented idiots harming innocent fans in fact it was highly commendable. Just a pity you can’t grasp this and have to reply with inanities against a force doing their job.
In fact I have just seen a tweet where a man and his wife have travelled from Bradford to pick up their fifteen year old son who had to have five stitches after an assault by a Barrow “fan”. The police are there for a reason and part of it is the prevention of stupidity like this.

I’ve always found that minding your own business and letting them do their job, usually prevents run-ins with the police.

Not sure if this attack was at the ground.I went to the chippy by the market and a girl from Holiday Inn said about 10 tough young locals attacked a Bradford supporter about 15 yrs old
