       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.

       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!
