Police statement on Swansea v Cardiff travel etc 15:01 - Sep 16 with 4133 viewsThrasher6

"We've been working with Swansea City Football Club and Cardiff City Football Club to plan the ticketing and transport of away fans for this season’s fixtures in the EFL Championship.

Match commander, Superintendent Steve Jones, said: “Over recent years, fans of both clubs have become well accustomed to the arrangements put in place to ensure the safety of supporters, which has included a full police escort for away fans.

“The good behaviour of fans as well as the effective stewarding and policing have all combined to create an enjoyable occasion and has given a very positive impression of the South Wales derby fixtures.

“Policing of football matches has changed over the six seasons since the clubs last met, with the number of banning orders and arrests at Swansea and Cardiff home matches much lower now than previously.

“We have held numerous meetings with representatives from both clubs and taken on board the views and concerns from previous fixtures.

“Learning from these experiences, the plan for the next fixture on October 27 will be less restrictive for visiting supporters but there will still be proportionate arrangements in place to ensure their safety.

“This will include a designated ticket collection point for away fans, managed by the clubs, which supporters will travel to on official coaches and exchange a voucher for a match ticket. There will then be a police escort from the collection point to the Liberty Stadium.

“A robust policing plan will be in place and while we continue our work to deliver a safe event for all, we now want the focus to be on the match itself.”

I'd rather the bubble than the return of the kind of behaviour we used to see.

Can't buy your ticket and travel independently.

Sounds like they can make their own travel to the collection point but then will have to use coaches and have an escort from the collection point to the stadium?

It reads as they still have to travel on official coaches (not cars etc) after exchange for match tickets a convoy will be escorted to the Liberty

Seems to me the police can't win. If they say let all Cardiff fans make their own way and there's carnage, who gets the blame?

It's about time they let the clubs handle it so the majority of us can travel to the away games without any hassle and like grown ups.
If a minority spoil it just arrest them and ban them for life.

If people cant behave themselves in this day and age, throw the book at them. 10 year ban minimum.

Most of those who will cause mayhem if given half a chance don't even attend matches ,so they don't give a flying fuk about bans ,jail sentences now that's the ticket

Reality check needed I feel. Not in our lifetime will fans of both clubs be allowed to make their own way to the 'derby'.
Anyone who thinks differently needs to take their head out their arse.

Some of us older heads in our 50's and 60's are going up Felindre to 'kick off' before the game. Brick the coaches and see if we can 'get into em'. You up for it OJ or what?

Had no one read the article then? It’s like before except there will be pick ups from different areas. I highly doubt a driver from NAT is going to take a bus half family half hooligans from Bridgend to Neath for a scrap.

Point is Cardiff supporting fans living say in Neath or Port Talbot will have to travel the rondevous point(Bridgend or whetever) then travel on a bus to a game maybe ten minutes away from them.
Likewise for us with the Cardiff game

Crazy

Interesting to see where the final pick up point will be. If they risk neath/port Talbot then it'll be carnage. Even Bridgend could be lively.
