don’t think it’s a PC problem that idiots are going out of their way to intimidate families and cause trouble unprovoked

Wolves tickets were on General Sale to fans with no previous away games last weekend, I know this as I looked before booking my Everton tickets

Away tickets never go on general sale. The criteria may be set at zero games but you have to be a member or season ticket holder to buy them. That doesn't of course stop people getting them from people who are able to buy them.
I was supposed to go yesterday but couldn't after my wife had a car accident on Friday. I didn't escape the embarrassment though. My 85 year old Mother in law who was having to come up from mid wales had the misfortune of sharing a train carriage from Shrewsbury to Wolverhampton with a load of our foul mouthed song singing followers. In the scheme of things no great big deal but its easy to forget how repulsive the football fan can be to the general public.
Obviously cant comment on yesterdays events but very rarely miss a Wolves away game since I first went there in the 70's. I would say that in general both sets of fans over the years have been as bad as each other and the WMP do their job in keeping the peace. That is bar the concourse trouble at the game in the early naughties which really was 90% the fault of the police. That was nothing less than an all out assault. It still bugs me today that a game with a second half delayed 20 minutes for an incident, out of view of the pitch or rest of the ground, worst hand to hand fighting I've ever seen anywhere let alone a football match which resulted in numerous injuries and yet ended in no charges or convictions. It also resulted in no CCTV being made available to those wishing to bring the WMP to task. Odd that considering I was filmed by at least 3 separate mobile camera wielding officers in the few hundred yards walk to the car.

GS on the ticket site means general sale, I selected tickets and it gave me a £60 price and stated no criteria needed. Not arguing just pointing out that the last few tickets were on GS. Just wanted to see what the criteria was as haven’t been away in years before booking my Everton tickets

But surely your a member or a season ticket holder ? I assume you bought 2 at the price so did you have to assign the second ticket. I stand corrected if they are now on sale to non season ticket / holders members. To be honest I have thought the time was coming for them to relax these rules as there's been little trouble in recent years.

Lot's of posturing by both sides and not a lot more. Police running around like headless chickens didn't help matters as they gave the impression of something serious kicking off.
It wasn't all families and scarfer Wolves fans next to the Coach Park either, as one post mentioned earlier. There were quite a few Wolves youngsters looking for trouble passing the coach park trying to goad our lot. The Police presence meant that nothing serious happened.
Did anyone else notice the Police drone in the air filming?
