    The result, no doubt, had an impact but it was never going to work on a cold January Tuesday night.

    They made plenty of noise though

    I think there was a few hundred for maybe 10 minutes or slightly more

    then a few hard core - at the back of the gallowgate. = quite a few more than 10 jammy

    I stood and watched for a while - but i wasn't going back up all them stairs lol

    not sure how much longer they satyed than me... steward asked if i was stopping or going - he said all the gates were locked except 1 - and which one it was - i left lol, not sure if they locked that one as well - the stewards basically surrounded/ b locked the way down of the protestors? unless they were just telling them what they told me.

    it was a poor show, but i think that was , as already said - partly the result, but mostly cos people have to get home and catch last buses etc

    Them stewards wan't to be careful,cos when it turns toxic they will definitely be out of their depth.
