The shape of things to come countrywide i fear, 95% of the time there is no need for a Police presence but the Police say there is and dictate how many are needed(when they are not), 5% of the time there is the potential for some sort of trouble meaning a Police presence is needed, so the Police insist on doubling the normal Police numbers and maybe changing the time of the Match for good measure. The Police seem to have forgotten they are not the law, they are there merely to uphold the law.
What a load of nonsense, the police are responsible for everything that happens outside the ground anyway and something's far more likely to happen if they don't let the buggers in.
"Councillor Mike O'Brien, from Medway Council, said that Kent Police had "serious concerns about public order at the ground". He said: "We have done this following advice from Kent Police that they have specific intelligence concerning the match and its fans. " Then deal with the specific intelligence then Noddy because you're implying that a conspiracy crime has already occurred. Surely the Football League should be paying a legal team to remind this pompous little Napolean that he's a public servant paid to uphold, not dictate the law? I believe the term is Ultra Vires?
The fans should do what we did with that Leeds game a few years back and say they're going to turn up at the ground anyway, and if they're not allowed in then they'll protest outside.
