Every time they've come here since the first meeting, it's all been a bit on the silly side of trouble, more than the actual terrifying side of trouble. There have been isolated incidents but almost every game other than that it's been hilarious.
I've seen AFC fans at TGI's because they didn't want to put money into the club by buying a pint inside the ground (Sat at the bar the time we drew 0-0 in Neilsons penultimate game.), a nice bloke ask me how to get to the away end, I've seen a AFC coat standing outside McDonalds having what looked like a friendly chat with a few of ours.... any of the squabbles, and I've had one or two myself were all for the daftest stuff... it is really at the point of silly more than "terrifying" (I use that so sarcastically I can barely bring myself to type it) now.
Honestly, I think there is more animosity when we play Cobblers at home than them lot. Last time they were here (for a proper game, not that PSF or lockdown bollocks) it was way more edgy than all of the AFC home games since 2012.
Away game, totally different. But well policed and handled last time we played them... speaking of police, the TVP are fucking useless when it comes to this fixture. Which dates all the way back to that 2012 game when Jimmy was so delusional to say he didn't understand why anyone thinks there will be trouble.
It won't be helped by fact the majority of the staff on the away end will be agency staff and SIA licence holders. the other night v Bradford,they bussed them in from an agency in Sheffield and I stood there and watched as one of them demanded to search a poor sod who had 2 withered arms. If he'd had a hand grenade he couldnt have thrown it much past his own feet
