Surely our gobby element aren't arranging 'meets'? Hoping it's just lads who know each other from college bigging themselves up.

Maybe that's where they were being directed as they pass O'Neils, 'turn left at the lights and charly chalks is 2nd on your right'

Did ask myself that, TBF it doesn't state if the arrests were ours of theirs, so it could have been a home fan.

Funny you say that, given that the nearest pub to Sixfields was a Hungry Horse family feedbag-type establishment until it burnt down.

Some guy stepped onto the grass (not the pitch) to throw the ball to a Dons player in the last minute or so whilst they were wasting time.
