Keep the threads separate imo.

Yeah, one for each area of attack. Perhaps the Dons could create a temporary sub-forum for this while it's going on. I believe the Dons did this when major football events were on.

Why not just merge all the threads together and call it UK riots thread ??? Might swell it's only going to get worse and more threads will be created.

Mods, can we change the title to 'Official UK Riots Thread' ?

A dedicated rioting section would look a little out of place here I feel...

Drove past the city centre on the way back from football training, plenty of youths knocking about but pretty much in small groups looking like they were just hanging about to see if anything was going to happen.

All this trouble won't solve anything. People are been idiots.

Yes I am. I drove through it the other day and on the main high street by the church there was a toilet in the middle of the pavement.

Was meeting a friend on oxford road tonight and the bar asked us to leave early as they decided to close early. Walked friend back home near bbc and we met a group of hoodies who invited us to "join the party in Salford". Buses were going from outside rncm and could see lots of police and ambulances heading towards the centre. Bad times... glad to be home again.

Similar story here, people saying PC World had been attacked, went for a drive and nothing to see.

We're garbage at rioting up north.

cheets64 · 9 Aug 2011 at 23:47

Yeah, oop north we are not as angry, we just get on with life.

Footage of Manchester was tame compared to London.
