You're right. Wouldn't be a fortune would it for, at most, half a dozen matches per season?

[Is this it?]

We need to show some bollocks and pay for policing.

I know you have to hire a job lot of them but even 2 coppers stood in that Halifax end would have solved all that.

Fans/trouble makers don’t give a sh*t about stewards of any form but do when police are there. We know that. We’ve known it for years. We scrimped on police costs and paid the penalty.

Is that true though?  I accept I may be wrong, but I thought that while we could request their presence, the decision on whether they would attend was made by the police themselves.
Interestingly, I was at the game in Runcorn on Tuesday and there was a greater police presence there!

The police charge good  money per officer that attends  as a resident. Most premiership matches attract staff on overtime rates. Operational demands may mean officers may not be available. The police are a business with budgets. They were a force but now a service.
