However, once the wolves fan was removed, the police wanted the albion fans to return to their seats. I saw a couple of police lash out with batons, which turned the albion fans against them. The fans eventually were herded back to the Brum stand but it became very confrontational. They should have just returned to their seats but stood there shouting at the police etc. Sadly, I think we will face harsh punishment despite the wolves fan initiating the trouble.
Got to question why the stewards allowed many from the Brummie to invade that section. I sat next to it! Not seen Police getting punched and kicked like they were since the 80’s. Those who did this deserve prison sentences. Felt sorry for Bartley with wife and child in tears.
