Was a bit shocked at all the aggro at the game yesterday. Probably the worst I’ve seen around the ground. It was kicking off before the game and lots of incidents after the game.

I park in the south car park A. Plymouth fans coming up to the cars etc They’re seemed to be no security or police about.

it seems to have got worse in the last year. Birmingham was another game things were pretty unsavoury in the car park,

the club needs to have a serious think about how they route away fans after the game.  The way it is set up just sets up fans against each other. Maybe direct away fans up behind the arena.

my kids were pretty scared yesterday with he car getting surrounded and people peering in and making offensive gestures and swearing.

Really? I didn’t see anything around the Greggs area while we waited for the bus to go.  Mind you, I saw a battle bus fly past.  I assumed it was to escort the away fans to the station?

We had about 5 on our bus from the pub.  They were very respectful on the way back, some middle aged men were giving it the “ they’d better sit down and keep quiet !” After they’d disappeared onto the top deck!?

My two kids were pretty scared yesterday too, with the car surrounded and people peering in and making offensive gestures and swearing. The wife had, to be fair, done her research, and the car park was secluded, but nonetheless ‘popular’, but it was clear my 12yo boy didn’t want to be there and would rather have been playing on his X-box. Overall it was still quite thrilling, but the McCann’s have a lot to answer for in my book.

What I saw there few high tensions but I said well done couple Plymouth fans got pat on the back for it. But like two police officers trying get like 4 0r 5 coach loads back on there coaches one Plymouth fan trying cause trouble I heard one police officer say to her partner I already told him pack it up but like he said two what can we do when only two of us. Which is true I felt sort of sorry for them out numbered not a lot police to help them.

There was a lot of trouble outside the Harvester around 2:30pm with a heavy police presence involved.

Saw one Derby fan with blood pouring from his head. Seemed like it was your typical stone island DLF wannabes looking for trouble.

Or he might be one place and wrong time.

I was told that there was a 30 on 30 scuffle up Ashbourne rd before the match and some some gobby kids being escorted to the ground,  but nothing serious. 

After the game, we saw a bloke who had one or two slurps more than he should've had being restrained by what looked like his young son. He was approaching cars with Derby fans in and gobbing off. My Grandson wound down the window and told him he was embarrassing himself and told him to look after his son instead.

He ignored the advice and carried on as he walked towards Wilmorton and I reckon it was only because he had his young lad with him that he got away without a slap.

We did see loads of police cars and vans coming onto pride park with sirens on.

Maybe it's just the south car park where it flares up. I would say it's pretty regular these days. I think the club either needs to provide more stewards or re-route the away fans. There was a time when you did have stewards all along the the car park against the fence but not now. 

I know all clubs have some idiots but having fans from the south stand crossing the away fans seems a bad idea.

In future games I'll probably hang back in the stadium a bit longer.

Thought the Plymouth fans, or at least the 9 or so that I has the displeasure of meeting in the South Car Park were a total disgrace - first set of fans for many years that have wanted to kick off against a mid 50's guy, wife, daughter and son who simply want to go and watch a football match. Let's stop calling fans who travel in large numbers "good supporters" - certainly wasn't the case yesterday.

As for policing, virtually non-existent!! How difficult is it to work out the need for a police presence at the back of the South stand towards the velodrome?
