That is correct OLM, how many times have they had Millwall v Leeds games on the telly in recent years?, Sky and the WYP are in cahoots together it would seem. Goes without saying they will move our game at Elland Road with them daft restrictions again.
The police in Huddersfield are the worst I've ever encountered for provocative aggression and illegal policing at football. I hope all the ones who police football get battered by fans of different teams. Utter scum.
My main gripe against the over policing at the KC is the way they just stand around at the end of the match instead of speeding up the crowd dispersal. Would just need ten of the useless lumps to help with traffic off the car park and out of Walton Street.
Can see the tedious script already. "SPICY FIXTURE" "TAINTED IN RECENT YEARS" "LET'S HOPE THERE'S NO NASTINESS" "JUST 10 YEARS SINCE [INSERT LEEDS EVENT HERE]" "DJIMI ABDOU REFERENCE". ****. I thought the dibble in Hull were OK last season. That said, I came on a very early train and it's usually the parasites at the British Transport Police who hassle football fans the most from my experience. Was fun seeing more Leeds fans get off at Brough than Hull fans.
Who wouldn't want to live in Brough as opposed to Leeds? It's commutable and there is no terrorist risk.
Tbh to those who say people can make arrangements, i work 9-12, the job i work in demands i do this, i can't change this as unfortunately banks and building societies can't change the times they open. I am not saying that they should not move it for me, but it does make a tradionalist. The atmosphere is always poor for early kick offs, 95% of attendances at early kick offs are lower, and they sell lose food and drink in the corporate facilities. So the income is lower for our football club. If we want to prevent violence a lot would say the over policing of football matches at times has led to this. I know the FSF have a strong view on that.
I'm one of those people, in fact I probably live further away than most. The fact it's only 2 and a half hours and we have 6 months+ notice makes it a non-issue really.
