BURNDEN BILLY Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 http://www.bbc.co.uk...ngland-18965193 dont agree with this at all surely the club should have to pay for policing? even if it is outside the stadium walls Seems a bit rough on the none football supporters of Leeds to me Homer.

Moderators Carlos Posted July 24, 2012 Moderators Share Posted July 24, 2012 It's pretty fucked that we as football fans need to pay indirectly for policing that we as (council) tax payers have already paid for, 20 years ago they were charging £250 a man so I guess that's doubled now. You have to draw a line somewhere, seems reasonable that that should be land the football club don't own i.e. Elland Road itself. Or do we have to pay for policing across the whole city? At the Reebok, over into Madlington and Chorley. Should Man U fund the policing of every pub showing its games across the world? It's a cash cow for coppers, an OT perk with jolly boy's outing following the bad boys across globe chucked in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Zico Posted July 24, 2012 Moderators Share Posted July 24, 2012 sounds like the police have been charging for http://www.bbc.co.uk...ngland-18965193 dont agree with this at all surely the club should have to pay for policing? even if it is outside the stadium walls depends on how far away the police are charging for if for example it were the reebok, the club shouldn't have to pay for any police on chorley new road / beehive / traffic lights at tesco whelan had a similar gripe at wigan, presuming it got resolved the same way as he didn't carry out his threat to quit http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2005/mar/07/newsstory.sport3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rembrandt Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 (edited) Seems security has gone OTT ............. until you actually need it. Coudn't understand what the stewards at Hamilton were up to though : sit here, don't sit there; use these stairs, don't use those stairs. It was an identikit modern stand FFS. Stops them twiddling their thumbs and getting bored, I guess. Edited July 24, 2012 by Rembrandt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traf Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 The majority of people attending a Leeds match will already reside in an area "policed" by the West Yorkshire force and therefore there's actually little justification for raising a fee for the match. It could be argued that if 3 dickheads are creating a problem in a pub: 2 coppers will attend and the pub landlord will not get a bill, whereas a 30,000 crowd at Elland road won't get 20,000 coppers. The bigger the crowd, the smaller the ratio of police to fans which makes policing a game far more cost effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonzo Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 which force are do we reckon are the worse? for me I took a good few uncalled for(ish) cracks by a Derbyshire policeman whilst he had hold of my collar...

Youri McAnespie Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 (edited) I've been led to believe that for football matches in Madrid the police are bussed in from other regional forces... Dunno why they then had their faces covered with scarves and badge numbers taped over tho' Oh aye, perhaps so they could kick the shit out of all and sundry indiscriminately, without repercussions. To be fair, I don't think it was an 'Eeengleesh Peegs' thing either - the naughty boys fighting am.onst themselves in the Atletico end seemed to take a few lumps as well... A coppers are bastards, or turn a blind eye to bastardly behaviour by their fellow bastards. I can't believe no-one's quoted Ding Dong Dave...
