Not sure how Brendon's response establishes that his mate is a liar in any way. But then...who will ever understand the strange workings, if that's the right word, of a palace fan's mind!!
More importantly...pubs...stopping off en route, probably at Forest Hill, to catch the first half of the Ireland v Wales rugby. Plenty of bars around the station, probably The Hob.
They'll be too busy getting an escort to their own ground.
Which they pay the police for themselves. (I kid you not).
I think you'll find that we all pay for the police outside stadiums as tax payers.
If you're suggesting anything else then you're a fool, and who ever told you differently is a bigger fool.
Maestro, I know nothing about how the police operate at football matches and what the situation is with regard to police escorts etc. I'm only going on what I have been told by a Sergeant at Bromley Police Station (who happens to be a friend that I trust).
He knows very little about football(in fact he says he's a Liverpool fan despite being from Sidcup and never even been to Liverpool in his life), apart from the work he and his colleagues do at various football matches.
The conversation came up at the weekend when he asked me what I was doing this weekend. I told him I was going to Surrey (joke) to watch Palace v Charlton when he told me about the situation with this so called group (which is a apparently a legitimate company) paying for this 'special' escort.
Don't shoot the messenger, I'm just going on what he has told me. He would have no reason to make it up as I doubt he gives two hoots about Palace or Charlton.
Well I think we've established that this Sargent is a liar then.
You can tell him that.
ok, I'll tell him. Why does this bother you so much anyway?
It doesnt. I was just replying to your post.
I honestly couldn't care what Charlton fans thought of Palace fans. Why would I?

i called the railway in thronton heath and the bloke told me that the police have told all the pubs in norwood and thornton heath not to open until 6pm and that he was just as peed off with it as us lot.
Just my opinion, but most pubs around Norwood Junction and Thornton Heath are rubbish. Drink in L Bridge where there are some proper boozers.
The problem with that is that there are too many pubs around LB so our supporters are too dispersed. How pathetic that every pub in a few mile radius needs to be closed due to a local derby.
