The imbeciles had allowed the scummers to congregate as a welcome committee for us at our turnstiles in such volumes that they couldnt push them back and allow us (last train, and pubgoers) anywhere near the ground. They herded us to within 30 yards of them, and then wondered why they were struggling to hold both sets of fans back from each other - cracking idea to put us within missile distance of each other.
To make it worse, they stopped us in the narrowest part of the street which meant the badly needed police reinforcements could not get through the crowd in numbers sufficient to calm the situation down.
It was only sorted when scummers realised they were missing the game, and the police could then push them back to. A safe enough distance for us to get to the turnstiles.
