I was listening to Chelmsford Radio this morning (same arm as Southend Radio so I presume same news bulletins) where they said a group of Southend fans are being sought by police following rowdy behaviour on the train from Liverpool Street ahead of the Wimbledon game. The radio said they were abusive and even pushed a pregnant woman in the back.
Now, I've had the press release about this incident from the BTP and there are no specifics about which team these scumbags were supporting, but they were a big group of 15-19 years olds that boarded the train at Liverpool Street so they're more likely to be Wombles fans I would suggest. But on the radio they're being called Southend fans, which is really going to do us no favours amongst floating fans who may consider going to Wembley.
Anyone know anything else about this before I go telling the radio station off for getting their facts wrong?
