Why no mention of...

Its a good point though

It is a very good point. As soon as the match was moved trouble was predicted, I wouldn't be surprised if there was a thread to that effect on here.

Who has the final say on these matters, do the police have the authority to say no to a Friday night fixture?

Its a very good point, do the police have any say on whether theY have concerns and objections to sky moving high profie games to a day/time that could potentially lead to crowd unrest not only in the ground, but the local town or City center.

If so i suggest they obect to the decision to move the Barnsley v Sheffield Wednesday match to a 5.20 kick off on December 17th, one of the busiest shopping days of the year, which certainly does nothing to stop the amount of alcohol that will be consumed, and most certainly, and NEEDLESSLY increases the potential for disorder,

I am not for one minute saying this will be the case, just that it has, for no sensible reason, been made more of a possibility by the change of kick off time.

"Its not our fault we sung about pedophillia, slander and assaulted a goalkeeper!

Sky Sports televised the match on a Friday night so nobody is responsible for their actions!"

...here's an idea...instead of allowing a small mindless minority influence decisions about days and times of kick-offs, why don't all those involved, clubs, SKY, the police and supporters representatives, get together and those with vested financial interests accept that more money needs to be spent on policing/stewarding for some games...and also for supporters...us..the majority take more responsibility inside and outside of the ground when it comes to moderating the behaviour of some of our own fans.

We..SWFC have a pretty good reputation for not being 'knobs' but a few minor incidents and the occasional major one will begin to influence those just looking for an opportunity to come to games not for the football but solely for the purpose of causing trouble.

It was during Big Jacks tenure that our fan base began to change to something much more powerful than just being 'threatening' because of the hooliganism...we became a group of fans that had a powerful threatening influence because we all stood together in condemning those who behaved like morons.

Maybe the last few years have created a vacuum, because of our financial and boardroom troubles, where that had started to change but as with off the pitch we now should work harder to make sure even our own small 'minority' of 'thugs' are told in no uncertain terms to go away and are identified and banned by the club.

So, those with the finances, need to 'pay' to make certain fixtures far more secure when it comes to dealing with the hooligan elements from both sides and the majority of our fans now need to become far more vocal in making sure those who seek to take advantage of our rise in stature, in order to satisfy their need for violence behind the guise of being 'Wednesdayites' don't influence the people just waiting for an opportunity to point the fingers at SWFC once again.

So on a saturday afternnon after a fair few jars do you think Leeds wouldn't have sung about Saville and DJ and Wednesday wouldn't have sang about turks carrying knives?

I honestly don't think the day and time made any difference.
