Have moved round to Hampton Court now but when I lived in Twick
this game and the 7s were an absolute nightmare. Town centre
after was an absolute disgrace. Next day, despite efforts,
wasn’t much better either. People hammered and asleep in
doorways. Used to be good events but became excuses to get
mullered as quick as is possible

It never used to be like this. I remember going to this match in
the early 70's Most spectators where WW2 veterans.
It was a great social occasion and standard of behaviour good.
It is evident that the popularisation of this event has bought
with it poor behaviour. But wait a minute - is it not the case
that service men are under military rules even when not in
uniform? It is the fault of the top brass that this has been
allowed to happen.

I'm sure not all the trouble is caused by current serving
personnel so a bit of a leap to blame it all on the top brass.

Yeah frankly the ones who cause the trouble generally don’t look
like they could fit in the uniform - and as you say, serving
personnel would be in the poop because there are MPs around on
the day.
(Not members of parliament, they’re too busy on pornhub)

I would wonder what percentage of the attendants are serving
members - more likely most are former soldiers or
family/friends.

The serving soldiers and sailors do get arrested and disciplined
if they step out of line some even get sent to the glasshouse.
As has been said a lot of the issues come from Ed serving and
civilians who’ve never served.
We are only expected around 60,000 this year so hope it’s well.
The Army and Navy rugby communities love this fixture and really
want to keep it at Twickers. I hope it goes well.
And of course that the Army win

Sadly not for me this year have a great day. Strong sides named
so should be a cracker.

Boris is starring on pornhub now? I bet he claims it's a work
meeting.

Yeah someone said it was where you could see lots of ***** there
so he thought he’d fit in.

Just watched the Highlights on BFPS TV. Seemed a really good
game. Big shout out To Sapper Jack Johnson the playmaker for the
Army. Has also played for Medway this season, my old club.
Really thrilled to see all his hard work pay off. Well Done
Jack!
