Luckily Dredd was on the scene - Judge Burdis whose side were you on (apart from the law, obviously).

"Mr Poole said two other members of his club, one dressed as the 10th Doctor and the other as Judge Dredd, had waited outside the venue."

And the same lot have an event at The Forum where I work in August.

Guess who's event manager? Yep, me!
I'll be taking no nonsense off any Daleks or Stormtroopers, that's for sure!

I apologise Dan for not trawling every thread to ensure my post was original. Although yours lacked a 200ad link I shall accept my inevitable ban with good grace. I erred!

Pity there were no judges in attendance.

Well I appreciate Buttonman posting this. I live in the Fine City and some of us don't read the mahoosive rambling threads.

according to the Metro the Law wasn't impartial:

""But Mr Poole - whose group prefers Dr Who to Star Wars - was not alone. He was joined by two colleagues in Time Lord costumes and another donning a Judge Dredd outfit - enough to strike fear into the bravest Jedi Knight"

Here's the Daily Mash on "the growing problem of SF hooliganism".

It was on Metro today as Dandontdare point out; this part left me chuckles...

I'm surprised that Rich never got a comment in this 'Jocks claim they invented starwars' piece:

The Times has it down as involving Judge Dredd as well...including a picture of Karl Urban as Dredd.....nice...

Steve Green · 16 May, 2013, 03:18:29 PM

If that's not an indication of a sequel I don't know what is...
