I cannot stand Swindon, however I felt compelled to respond to your post.
I know 2 of the 15 who have been charged by WPC and I can assure you that they are not scum! They are lads from excellent family units, who support their local team (from west Oxfordshire) and they certainly did not cause any ‘violent disorder’. To that end, both individuals have been advised by their brief to plead not guilty - not something that is common in cases like these where CCTV body cam footage should be enough for the courts to throw away the key!
Unfortunately, there was a bit of pavement dancing and arm waiving at a Bradford City supporters coach and as a result, the police took a pretty hard line and arrested a number of them retrospectively in the days and months following. This stinks of WPC trying to set a bit of example given the current perceived state of football hooliganism in this country.
They may well get a ban from football if the courts take a dim view of the ‘evidence’ but to automatically suggest they are ‘scum’ is, on this occasion wide of the mark.
