Riot police forced to use 'containment tactics' as fights break out after Bristol City v Millwall

Bristol Post

20th August 2017

Police said they were forced to use “containment tactics” after crowd trouble between Bristol City and Millwall today.

Both teams played out a drab 0-0 draw at Ashton Gate on Saturday afternoon, but the day was marred by fights outside the stadium.

A huge police operation was put in place to try and prevent any trouble, but fights broke out anyway.

A spokesman for Avon and Somerset police said: “We were really disappointed that two small individual groups seemed intent on getting involved in confrontation at the Bristol City v Millwall football match today.

“Our operation was planned to safely facilitate the safe entry and exit of all fans but a minority of people were determined to work against us.

“We had to use some containment tactics in order to stop any escalation but thankfully we were well prepared and contained the two groups quickly.




16 police vans, 8 horses 4 dogs & numerous police officers escorting a crowd.

by Jamie Bellinger, shows what he described as "probably 100+ cops, horses and vans for maybe 50 fans. Huge operation. I count 12 riot vans out the front. Twelve. Extraordinary" at Bristol Temple Meads after the game which ended around 4.45pm.
