We hung around after the game to let the mobs disperse from the Ashton-bound tram stop. We were stood there on the platform with about twenty other fans in the rain when this small group of knobs came down the stairs on the Piccadilly-bound side, singing a song. I couldn't make out what it was a first but as they started to walk up the path towards town on the other side to us, I figured they were Dippers as there were no colours. They were giving it the menacing swagger and the songs were, 'Have you ever won a treble', and, 'Twenty thousand empty seats'. Rags.
As the football factory jogged on towards town, I noted their general group demeanor...heads down, slightly embarrassed and the small group of us laughing on the platform as they disappeared certainly put them in their right context as total bellends. But what was this all about? On their way to a boozer to watch their Rags...Stoke is a long haul flight from Manchester, I guess...or were they milling about after our game for a bit of trouble? I know they like to pick on families and easy targets as demonstrated on Wembley Way a few years ago so I guess they could have had a go at my daughter whom, incidentally, is about their age and was impressed by their class and toughness.
Did anyone else see this little bunch of scrotes or know what that was all about?
