The comment from 'Ged' about fans in a wheelchair only having one helper and not a minibus full is an eyeopener
I'd like to see this "open source" research, it just seems to me that anybody who's commented on this on Twitter/Facebook/here has their names on file with WYP. I doubt our local MPs are interested now this isn't a main story in the press, Karl Turner in particular seemed to just forget about it once it wasn't making the headlines.
Just make sure you redact any phone numbers.... Especially if it's the Managing Directors phone number!!
Dear Mr Burns-Williamson, I write with regard to the actions of West Yorkshire Police, relating to the policing of the Huddersfield Town v Hull City football match on March 30th, 2013. Specifically with regard to the completely unjustified restrictions placed on travelling Hull City fans. Following receipt of documents obtained via a Freedom Of Information request, it's now apparent that West Yorkshire Police had absolutely no intelligence on potential trouble from Hull City fans and the restrictions were not imposed for for reasons of safety as was spuriously claimed(I suspect the real reason was entirely financial). Having made a stupid decision, the attempt to try and find some justification for that decision by searching for clips on Youtube is beyond embarrassing. Are you happy with the actions of your Chief Constable in this matter? Do you accept, or dispute, that the action taken had no justification whatsoever? Do you accept that the actions of the Chief Constable with regard to this matter have tarnished the reputation of the West Yorkshire Police Force? For your reference, copies of the documents obtained via the Freedom Of Information request can be downloaded from the link below. http://www.datm.info/news/west-york...ion-documents-re-hull-game-download-them-here I believe the actions of West Yorkshire Police to be utterly disgraceful, I think what happened was outrageous and the documents on this link infuriate me even more. You should be ashamed. Regards, HRH OLM
Thanks mate. I've sent it too. Let's get everyone on here to send him that complaint and then we can just wait for them to come and monitor this forum!!
Down at the Mac have just tweeted that the site has crashed due to all the people trying to download the paperwork. The mail newsdesk are looking at it, as are the club and I've just seen a tweet about it from the NW sports reporter for The Times.
The comparison with leeds is interesting. HTFC played them on a bank holiday monday with no restrictions in place, and it sounds like WYP panicked in case people brought that fact up up.
If I get a response that claims the actions of the police were justified, then I'll go back to him with specifics. The Mail are running a piece on this tomorrow, I'm hoping the nationals pick up on it too.
Hull FC . Sums up the 'intelligence'. They ended up needing more Police than if they'd just been professional in the first place, never mind the cost of all the back peddling and arse covering.
