Haven't seen a mention of this so i thought I would voice my disgust: Whilst walking back to our car on Sat after the game my friend and i having lost touch with the rest of our group including my 53 year old father were attacked by seven or eight Grimsby "lads". We were walking back and a northern lad approached me and claimed to be a Grimsby lad and asked if we were Southend. I replied that I was indeed a Southend fan but I was just walking down the road to my car, he then spat on my firend and called his other mates across the road after doing so we were then faced with seven or eight nutters who continued to "shout lets have it!" My friend was then punched and kicked and whilst we tried to defend ourselves it was to no avail. The police arrived and pinned my friend to the wall and after various plea's and requests from other SUFC fans to let him go he was relaesed. The said Grimsby "Lads" then continued up the road towards the pub and started again. I would like to say a big thanks to the one or two SUFC fans who aided us in the break up of this incident. I spoke with the police and was again abused and told to "f*ck off home". I was threatened with a baton and also attacked by these idiots from GTFC. My days of this are over but how do an aledged Grimsby firm walk down the road without police escort and attact the Southend Firm (ha ha) all two of us and the police do nothing, not even arrest the mad coke head who started it. Whilst it did not really effect me as I have with my own admission been invoved with incidents over the years I am sure the young kids and familys around were petrified!
