This is how one Bradford fan saw things;
There was two incidents I'm lead to believe.... I didn't see the one directly outside the away end, but the one outside the home areas, was around 30/40 lads setting about 2 (TWO) City lads, with pretty much the whole stand behind the goal, stood round watching, and throwing the odd punch in. I was walking round later, when it was already going off... And I was absolutely amazed. We ended up helping in intervening, with a couple of Oxford shirters, to just pull the lads out of there. And parents with kids?! , I saw that bloke, he came sprinting over with a baby in his arms to get his piece in "you fackin' northern mankeys". I heard it went off properly outside the away end though, whether you saw/heard anything? Before the game, your "lads" didn't want to know to be fair, in The Priory. We took the boozer, and your lot misteriously vanished.
Anyone who actually knows anything care to respond?

Probably the same urchins who were being mouthy in the Priory pre match. 2 minibus loads full. Again, no TVP seen, very odd... I was walking up grenoble road as they arrived. I was on my own and they slowed right down and both buses gave me shit load of abuse with some skin heads hanging out of the windows spitting and shouting at me (couldn't hear what they said as I was listening to my iPhone). After the game walked passed the same two mini buses full of the same lads with the police holding them and bot letting them leave. Again re windows were open and I went up to the van, 'it's the same faggot from earlier' replied with a wave and 'enjoy the long journey boys, shame your leaving with no points' Sad to say but it was very satisfying! They were like a bunch of apes after that I thought they were going to tear up their buses!

What braindead moron says ' we took the boozer' ? These numpties are invited/welcomed into the pub by cottonsocks & co. OK we'll let you fantasize and say you 'took' the pub but I think you will find in the end the only thing taken was your money !!!!!

Your going to get this a lot especially if we did go up, away fans will go into the Priory and take liberties around the ground, because everyone know if it does go off it's the Oxford fans who will get nicked, named and shamed and banned. The Police and the Oxford mail seems to have ensured that we are becoming a laughing stock of the pitch.

The Police and the Oxford mail seems to have ensured that we are becoming a laughing stock of the pitch. And isn't that the truth! When they claim "we took your boozer" they mean "we drank in your boozer and you didn't attack us". Hooligans are - wrongly in my opinion - universally labelled as "morons" by some, but that description really would fit if any Oxford fan launched an attack under the glare of CCTV and in the knowledge that prosecution was a nailed on certainty! What next? Half a dozen pre-teen Cheltenham fans claiming they "took" the Priory because no-one kicked over their building bricks? I suppose we should shrug and say "who cares?", but somehow it matters.

precisely - more like "we walked in, got served, sung our Bradford slums song, within seconds the doormen arrived and escorted us back out into the garden, all under the watchful eye of the cctv cameras"

I was in Frankie&Bennys before the game..it was "taken" by about 15 little boys and girls some as young as 5 ...one or two real troublemakers in there I can tell you..and no CCTV either!

I'm usually a Waitrose shopper (well, my wife is) but I plan to visit our local Tesco Express later today.
I'm going to boldly walk in, Waitrose carrier on clear display to the middle aged female assistants. I might even say something like "our cauliflowers are fresher than yours".
When they don't respond, I'm going on the various supermarket forums to claim I single-handedly took Tesco.

To anybody who is upset that away fans come to the Priory and drink there, without being attacked by Oxford fans, then go away telling everyone that they 'took' our pub, then feel let down because they WEREN'T attacked, just remember this; It takes a man to stand up and fight for what is right. It takes a REAL man to walk away from a fight.
OR;
A poor person who tries to convince people they are rich, will wear posh clothes and show their wallet with a wad of cash to everyone. A millionaire doesn't have to do this, because they are safe in the knowledge that they ARE rich. They usually wear casual clothing.
So what's this got to do with away 'we took your pub' fans....................
We 'know' they wouldn't take our pub if we stood up to them............we can rest in the knowledge that we WOULD stop them if we wanted. So, join in with them and show them we are a friendly bunch!
There.

Ocado man came around last night. He dropped off my shopping and carried it up the stairs to my flat.
I signed and then he left.
I then went to the window and started swearing at him telling him I'd mugged him off and stolen all his gear, taken his apple juice, and he'd bottled it.

You might get an early morning knock....

Some guy on 5 live at 12.30 (don't know his name) was talking about football violence and brought up Oxford because his son supprts us. I think he has overegged the problem and was talking a big standoff in the local pub and violence at other home games. Not a good advert !!!! They also mentioned the Stevenage fan that hit one of his own players at the end of the match. This may have been covered elsewhere but he implied that it was due to the player having an affair.

Any lad from an away team in the know, knows full well that The Blackbird is considered our lads pub. If anyone then claims to have taken our pub (the family pub near the ground) then they should be quite embarrased, and id question whether they are part of the away teams firm. Bradford look like idiots after this, and id think some of their real lads will be a little ashamed.

Funny thing is any LAD worth his salt would not be giving it "we took your boozer " on any fans forum , Simple as that.
And if and thats a big if. that was there boozer , it would have taken a dam site more than we have seen this season.

I spoke to the bradford fans as they walked to go in the pub,told them 20 min wait,better go elsewhere if you want a quick pint,they said they had kids with them !!! , so would stay,one lad turned the toilet and hallway lights out,i just had a word in paul powells ear and told him any bother get the them out how you want !!, i did ask the staff if all was ok,they said they were really polite and were no bother,and a few stayed at the hotel and drank with us after the game, the problem at the priory sat was the council not letting us have an outside bloody bar,but i have to take the blame,getting the temp in on 4th jan,they wanted 2 weeks !!, so we HAVE AN OUTSIDE BAR FOR CHELTENHAM,WYCOME,CHESTERFIELD,LINCOLN,that uses up 4 temps,leaving 8 for aug to dec, and 2012 be fine as we only have 6 months of that year on the lease,so 12 easily cover that period,then he can have the bloody pub back....but until then we will work harder to get this better for you , if that means home only when we don`t have an outside bar then so be it,its all aload of bollox !!....

I think some of the Bradford fans were keen to get up close and personal with their players after the game on Saturday as they were beckoning them over. I think it was also to do with a love affair but it had ended a few minutes earlier and they were keen to tell them so. I think they confused the stewards orange jackets for their own club's colours so thought they would express their love for them instead by joining in a group hug outside the ground. For some reason PC Phillips was at the back of the queue trying not to get involved. It all looked a bit gay to me but each to their own.
