In over 20 years of regularly watching Alty away, the 'welcome' afforded to us by the stewards, bar staff and Police at Barnet was right up there with my worst experiences as an away day.
Not that I'll be there on Saturday but fully agree that they should not be allowed to set foot in our bar (but if they are, wait until they've all ordered a pint and give them 5 mins to drink it before ejecting them whilst all the while being stared at by stewards) and if we could get some incredibly officious GMP officers down to harass and search anyone paying into the away turnstiles then that would be lovely as well. Oh and then falsely accuse people of taking Class A drugs in the toilets and offer no apologies afterwards that would be another thing we could do. I'm sure there's others I've forgotten but even for the fact we may aid Macc's automatic bid I hope we absolutely smash Barnet into 2016.
Just out of curiosity, did you submit a letter of complaint to Barnet FC regarding their abysmal 'hospitality'?
The Barnet Chairman does sound like a tinpot dictator who ostracises/bans anyone who even dares to criticise him, so it would be fascinating to read the Barnet Board of Directors' justification for the treatment that the Alty supporters received.
Unfortunately due to the behaviour of Barnet FC we have two supporters with Met Police actions hanging over their heads until a period of time later in the year.
Once this period has expired then the individuals concerned can decide how and if to take any actions.
So from my point of view when people say it's not about tit for tat, it is VERY tempting to treat them as they treated us. It may be the only way to highlight what seems to be a major problem at a member of this league.
For those of you not there I considered it a very major incident, one I have not seen the likes of in over 150 football grounds I have visited.
