Looks like getting out bang on time avoided the problems.

However we must be honest and now we are doing well, we have started to have an element who are using a Charlton away game as an excuse to behave badly.4

Left the ground, got the tram to Grand Central, had a pint in Brewdog and then got the train home from New St. Sounds like I missed all the fun!0

Point taken @Covered End0

redman said:funny if there was trouble on train at Hawthorns. On the tram to New Street there was no police presence and both sets of supporters happily mingled and discussed the game on the way back to New Street. Pubs by New Street ok with Charlton, locals and Luton drinking.0

When we got to Moor Street station after the game, they wouldn’t let us get to the platform we needed to get back to London.
So we stuck on a platform that we couldn’t move from as the coppers where stopping us from going up the stairs we needed to use to get to another platoform.
The platform was heaving, one guy when we got there said he’d been stuck on it for 45 minutes, train after train arrived at set platform, letting more and more people off and making the platform more and more packed.
Someone shouted out this is like Hillsborough, which to be fair if it had continued it would have been, but of course the police are never to blame for anything.
Woman were screaming at the police to do something, and it was bloody dangerous.
We were then put on a different train (especially arranged? ) with coppers who to be fair were friendly (they’d just come from Millwall v Stoke) so perhaps this was a piece of cake.
2 hours standing on the train journey back to London, and then all the crap at Marylebone... makes you wonder how crap it’s going to get in 2 weeks time at Millwall, where every copper in the country will be on duty.0 -

I wonder if the Club (Mick Everitt perhaps?) will communicate with the police to establish what on Earth was going on, sounds extremely over the top.3

A cop at Snow Hill station said there had been trouble in a bar in West Brom with Charlton fans and two old bill had been assaulted and that was the reason they refused to let Charlton fans off the train, even tho they let me and my missus off.0

What happened at ht, saw it all starting, the police then seemed to disappear ?0 -

I wasnt there so I know jack all about what happened but as we are talking about the policing of football I'll chime in
I get it that football can bring out some stupid behaviour in people, some of which I have been involved in and some I have witnessed, some like @Gumbo putting his penis on my shoulder at Coventry away then tapping me to get my attention so I was 'eye to eye' with him, I have been the victim of.
What gets me is how aggressive police can be in the first contact, it pisses people off immediately and invariably makes their lives more difficult. They have a hair trigger at football and have nicked people for some really trivial stuff that could have been avoided with a bit of emotional intelligence. Then again when they see 100 blokes coming off a train pissed and singing it can be fairly intimidating so it can provoke a nervous response.
last season at Gillingham they started off being ok with everyone then a few people wound them up and ruined it for everyone as annoyed police are not fun people.
What fucks me off though is then taking such a broad brush approach like what people have mentioned about marylebone and they know they can because its football fans and they can pretty much get away with whatever they want.
I'm a supporter of the police, and if you think of the sheer volume of human interaction they have compared to the amount of actual beatings they give out its remarkable. If I was armed with a taser and a truncheon at the Notting hill carnival post 8pm after a day of everyone calling me a racist or just generally being obnoxious I'd guess I would flatten the taser battery quite fast4 -

CAST are going to raise this with CAFC's police contact and ask for further explanation. If you have specific info / experiences to pass on, please email chair@castrust.org or contact CAST directly on Twitter.8

Contacting Charlton or the police will end a fruitless exercise.0 -
seems pointless asking for personal details as how can the police prove you have given the correct ones?4
