0% Villa, 100% annoying - AFC Teford game called off!

Yes I know, I need a lesson in short links!

I do understand why the Police told AFC Telford to call the game off, I just feel really sad for their supporters in particular, after the journey they've been on from going bust to getting back into the top tier of Non Leauge Football, Saturday should have been a celebration.

Luton fans have surely got to be pissed of as well? they're not all EDL supporters by any stretch of the imagination.

There are moves to get the EDL march banned now - good!

There isn't a swear word invented yet that begins to express what I think of the EDL.

I want the EDL to fuck off at the best of times. Surely with all the stuff that's happened this week even they could see that the police could do with having larger resources elsewhere than policing their stupid march?

I fear the EDL will claim the last week justifies their existance and marching (Of course it doesn't their just Racist ***********ers, nope still can't find a word that does it!).

If the march doesnt get banned, anyone in the area pissed off with these racist fuckwits could do worse than to turn out to this protest to peacefully show their displeasure and opposition to the EDL >> http://uaf.org.uk/2011/08/telford-unity-march-against-racist-edl-saturday-13-august/

From what I understand about demo's being banned, the police and council can only apply to the Home Office to have the march through the town banned. There's nothing in the law that allows the police to ban the EDL or anyone else for that matter from meeting in the town. Which to me seems to defeat the object of the march ban. The majority of people in Telford have made it clear that they don't want the racist scum in their town and hopefully the police will use similar tactics as those used in the miners strike to keep people away from certain areas.

I thought of you Mike, when I saw that the game had been called off.

Rioting (sorry marching) by the EDL is really going to help against rioting.... ::)

My belief is that the march by the EDL in Wellington was only arranged as soon as the fixture for tomorrow, Telford United v Luton Town, was announced in June and that there is a close link between the EDL and some (only a minority) of the away team's supporters. I think the biggest mistake, and I said this before the recent riots, was moving the kick-off to 7.45 p.m.; in my opinion it should have been brought forward to, say, 11.00 / 11.30 a.m and would then have been over at the time the EDL march is scheduled to commence.

The people who I really feel sorry for are the chairman of TUFC, Lee Carter, and all the fans as this (the postponement) has spoilt the Club's return to the Conference.

Will still be the usual static protest www.westmercia.police.uk/news/news-articles/edl-march-in-wellington-banned-by-home-secretary.html 

But yes, I'm glad the march has been banned.
