Trophy semi-final draw

[Rob_the_Saint]

1 Boreham Wood v Woking or Stafford Rangers

 

2 Exeter City v Grays Athletic or Dagenham & Redbridge

 

Apparently the scarfer coaches were attacked at Worksop as they arrived and the mongs got a police escort!

 

'However in the worst pre-match scenes ever witnessed at Worksop Town Football Club, so called supporters of both clubs fought a pitched battle as the coaches arrived from Hertfordshire with women and children becoming embroiled in a situation which was not of their making. Trouble continued inside the ground when fences erected to initially segregate the two sets of fans, were torn down and fighting then re-commenced. Thankfully the police had realised it was a ongoing dangerous situation and brought in re-enforcements in the guise of 15/20 police in riot gear armed with dogs in order to calm the situation. Further police were then employed to monitor the deepening trouble, but eventually a measure of calm appeared to take place and the game got underway, albeit some ten minutes late.'

Unlike the Wooooooooooooood to be involved in trouble isn't it?

 

One report I read from a Worksop fan suggested one of Woooood's coaches turned up and the fans alighted and started fighting immediately.

I see that on the worksop town website they have made a statement and a further statement is to be made within the next 48 hours, where as on the Wood website they have described it as a "fantastic day for the club" with no mention of the violence !

what's their website address? (the wood not worksop?)

[Laz]

I see the Wooooooooooooooood forum on here has closed!

 

There has been some discussion on the Ryman forum about it. Entries from "me" are particuarly interesting.

They caused some trouble at Crawley in the last round. Police had to break up a fight in a pub near the ground. Crawley have a few "boys" as well so imagine it was rather nasty.

[Laz]

Have you ever played them, Yellow?

 

I assume you will have crossed paths with them on your rise from pub football at some point.

Have played Boreham Wood on a few ocassions in the Ryman League. Have never been to their ground but on the times we've played them at Park Lane they've brought barely 15 supporters.

 

As for Crawley, nasty bunch of chavs and lads who fancy themselves as the new ICF. Generally don't like going to Crawley. Them and Grays have the biggest bunch of morons in the Conference.

Reports are (from a Worksop fan on another forum) that Boreham Wood had a number of old Milwall travel with them. There is some mobile footage of it going off in the ground. Riot police had to be called in from league games in the area

[Laz]

Any chance of a link?

[mdetaylor]

No link to the footage but these were the posts: TITLE BOREHAM WOOD

"

Beat worksop 1-0 in the FA trophy Quarter finals on Saturday ,but the main point was the trouble at the match. I've just seen it on someones mobile and it's like going back to the 70's ,apparently it was organised and they are all the old Millwall fans who can't get in the New Den. The match was delayed for 15 minutes while they calmed it down and mopped the blood up, so thats the authorities idea of cleaning the game up ,just pass the buck to the lower leagues ?"

 

"Yep, and after about 30 minutes, 20 odd riot police arrived, helmets, batons, totally tooled up with 3 more police dogs to add to the 4 dogs already there - they had come from Bramall Lane.
