The Police said the re-route announcement was to stop a stampede. Re-routing City's Coach only wouldn't have caused a stampede. Merseyside Police and LFC knew what was waiting for the City coach as it went up Arkle Road. LFC fans had been drinking all day. The pubs and shops selling booze were rammed all day.Their fans had taken every vantage point possible, including Police Vans. LFC fans were ready with flares, smoke bombs, bottles, cans, bricks, etc. The Manc's were going to get it and they did. End of. Case closed. Job well and truly done by LFC, their fans, and Merseyside Police.

but why was this different to if the original route was taken? wouldnt they have just congregated there? (also thought the route was shut due to the presence of scaffolding or was this balls?)

And the club need to tell all other parties involved that if there is one anti social action taken against any thing City then they are turning around and driving back home.

Absolutely, that's what I think. The slightest trouble and the media will be all over it. I do think it will happen again, the whole of Liverpool are so inward looking they dont see how utterly shit this is, and for it to involve the fkin police too is amazing.

Little story, my mrs phoned the police after the night to report it. (She's like that!). Two weeks later get a phone call back from them having done their investigations..... They said It wont happen again, no one can be singled out but "be assured when we're in the semi final it wont happen again", police policy is to prevent this sort of activity and we can gaurantee it wont happen again now we're in the semi final" "and if we get to the final which is a distinct possibility blah blah wont happen again,...... "25 minutes of call with him saying the same thing over and over until I told my wife to just put the phone down.

It was funny I suppose, but this is coming from the police, shows how much they actually cared about the situation. Fuck em, been saying it for ages, they're a race apart from other fans, like dealing with a bunch of gypos

Given the lack of punishment they got I expect they will be doing this again next season when we visit them.

Do they not only do this on special European nights. I mean that's their God Given right being European royalty, and all that.
If they were to do that for a PL match then the FA or PL or Sky or whoever is in charge would throw the book at them, Right?
They'd really be in trouble. Right?

No the original route was open but has building work along it Merseyside police decided in their wisdom that this would represent a hazzard as there would be bricks for the little shits to hurl rather than bottles. Sort of suggests they knew things were to be thrown.
 
Anybody who submitted freedom of information requests to the dipper bizzies get a reply?
