Keeping you behind after the final whistle could be considered to be challenging your human rights so the police no longer do it for fear of expensive legal challenges .However under certain circumstances it can be used when there is substantial evidence to support a threat of significant disorder , for instance it kicks off inside the stadium , players have to leave the field or there are significant arrests made .Clearly the above is difficult to enforce , a game against Leeds Utd in 2017 at Oakwell , Sky saturday evening kick off Resulted in fights breaking out sporadically around the stadium , fans from both clubs smashing seats and using them as missiles and an atmosphere of real menace .Leeds fans were let out straight after the final whistle , it was carnage , bricks and bottles getting launched all the way back in to town .There is a substantial history of serious disorder between Barnsley and Leeds dating back well over 20 years .Better than a legal challenge ....... apparently .....
I wouldn't appreciate being held back in the ground due to troublemakers if I had a train to catch. We usually keep our wits about us and avoid the aggro in these situations, as we did coming out of Rotherham's stadium last year. Aside from the fact the walkways were on separate levels allowing Rotherham fans to spit at us from above, I'd say it is perfectly possible to avoid being caught up in trouble between the two sets of fans.Quite frankly, on that day, the behaviour of our fans in the ground was just as bad as the Rotherham fans anyway.

I was simply pointing out on grounds of safety that it's always a consideration by any Police force.But interestingly enough, this topic crops up at every Meet The Owners event, whereby somebody asks the question as to why we don't keep the away fans behind for 10 or 15 minutes just like Rovers fans are kept behind at away venues. Now, I don't do all DRFC away games, but I do a fair few, and yet I can't ever remember Rovers fans being kept back, at all. Maybe somebody could enlighten me?

I can remember being held back when away at the KC Stadium. All that happened is hull fans hung around in the dark places back to the car park and ambushed us.

Nuneaton away in conference , they brought in bouncers from Coventry for the game to act as stewards as they feared trouble happening
I will not be attending any more Rovers away games until the club sorts its idiots out, if you go looking for trouble it will find you, too many of these so called fans do exactly that.
One for silent majority, not sure if he can shed any light on it though.Why were Rotherham given a free run of our town when they came here last, with Rovers supporters turned away from or own pubs, and on the return, any fans there early for a drink were put on a train bsck to Doncaster.

It's probably because Rotherham is a small poxy town centre with hardly anywhere to go. Donny is massive in comparison and can easily accommodate 30k race goers and 12k football fans on the same day. Rotherham is just a shit Mexborough
