Pompey Fans ASSAULT Disabled Supporters at Fratton Park

[Southerndown]

I think Papa upgraded the wording to 'assault' in an attempt to sensationalise the story and to make our fans seem even worse that the original article suggested.

Surely not Bladds!

Chis nice to see Wease pop along to help dig papa out of the hole he dug for himself. It's clear he's not able to function on his own unaided!
Although coming out with standard reply no. 3 - "looks like someone's got under your skin" - was a bit weak

Also from Wease 'next you'll be running off to FF for support' posted a couple of hours AFTER this thread was started.

He's a bit obsessed.[/quote]

he'll probably put up some photo shopped picture of an upturned wheel chair...

Poor boy... this could run for a few pages over on sm at this rate. Amusing reading

This all started after a post on FOL by The Riddle. It was a thread about disabled facilities.
Here is the relevant part of that post,

'Given some very misguided rumours seems to be being aired on here, here are the facts:

The Safety Certificates only issue with the Fratton End stand is the location of the away fans in wheelchairs. Sadly some of our fans see fit to abuse them during games causing flash points and even altercations. Therefore there is an urgent need to move the away disabled section.

Also the club has an obligation as an employer to provide designated toilet facilities for its staff - there is currently no such facility on the entire north side of the ground.
