There was an obvious change in the demeanour of a (small admittedly) proportion of the Luton Support when they sussed out that there was no Police presence at the ground.
Amongst the Stewarding staff there is now a substantial amount of experience and, having identified this change of demeanour, it made sense in my view to request Police support whilst the situation was still under our control. I'm not for a second suggesting that it would have got out of our control but surely it is safer to be 100% certain?
Interestingly enough, having gone in small numbers into the Luton end, the Police didn't send any of their number away, in fact more arrived.
Well done to the Stewarding Staff
