But that does not mean that the protesters can assault fans,” said an infuriated Saravanan. As reports of such attacks started spreading on social media, many fans waited for the protests to subside to walk towards the stadium. “I came to the Wallajah Road around 5 p.m. itself, but the police advised me to wait as they said protests against the match was going on. I returned home and returned only around 7 p.m. By then the crowd had reduced and police were allowing vehicles on Wallajah Road,” he added. The supporters for the match came from all over.
