By this time police had already brought in water canons, and were ready to protect the road. Even though several groups of people managed to cross the police lines and do sit downs as well as building some barricades. The stand off lasted for most of the day, effectively blocking the road 200 meters away from the gate, for the whole day. Later in the afternoon, whilst the main group of people that by that time had ground to more than 3000 people, several smaller affinity groups spread around the fence trying to stretch police resources or carrying on with smaller actions in different parts of the road.
