It is clear that the police seem to be doubling their efforts on match day and if the small sample of people on this forum can be used as a monitor, many more fans are getting stopped and searched. These searches appear not be be carried out within the law.

The FSF can do something about this, but only with your putting your experiences in writing. Ash Connor regularly meets with the police and also the home office and when raising these issues is always asked for written details.

Please email Ash at

with your experiences. If you want him to withhold your personal details, he will be able to do so. It helps if you get the number of the officer that deals with you!

I understand that you may be cynical about making contact and think it won't make any difference. It will make even less difference if you don't get in touch with the FSF....!
