Policing protests comes from the public purse whereas stadium-specific policing is paid for by the clubs themselves. Cost of policing: is making clubs pay more the answer? - Football Supporters' Association (thefsa.org.uk) Around 77% of the cost paid by the clubs. 23% left will seem like little. But add that up over every game taking place at the weekends plus the week nights - it's a lot of taxpayers money. Plus all of the police time and resources that are diverted away from solving crime onto football throughout the week. I'm only pointing out the hypocrisy of some folk that get massively triggered by a dreadlocked protestor, whilst ignoring their own behaviour at a football match. Bit of a tangent from the topic of today's games, so I'll leave it there 🤣 Edited May 29, 2022 by London Wanderer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know that they've been cracking down on these kinds of protests - contrary to your point that nobody gives a shit. Whoa there Mr Eco Warrior. I'm not having that. TMGJ never even mentioned water cannon and cattle prods which I would have ordered the use of before finishing them off with tear gas and pepper spray. In that precise order so they were wet when prodded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok so if they's the style of play you prefer, or at least admire, presumably you would prefer to see a Gary megson style team defend for 90 minutes and nick a 1-0 win, rather than an Ian Evatt style attacking team create loads of chances and win say 3-1. I get why people appreciate it, but I can't fathom why you'd want to see your team set up to play deep and intentionally have less possession.........like Burnley. This is going nowhere so lets leave it there. If you seriously believe that Real Madrid played like Burnley last night, it is futile to continue the debate.
