It happened within minutes of warnings that the police were threatening to send on their Forward Intelligence Teams and that resistance would not be accepted. However they appeared to have misjudged the situation based on the general camp tolerance to the regular low level police rounds of the site. When twenty five closely bunched police entered the site they were quickly confronted and forced to tune back. Withing the space of ten minutes they had been ejected from the camp and a stand off across no mans land continued until the torrential rain sent the police back to the safety of their vehicles.

During the stand off, one protester super clued herself to the main gate onto the field. This gate is in the total control of the police and was the entrance they had use to make their incursion. She remained locked to 'their' gate for over an hour while the specialist police team used solvents to remove her. She was eventually removed and arrested, taken off site wrapped in a space blanket and bundled in to a police van.
