When will someone challenge this “police advice “ it’s not 19fuckin96 ....... it’s Rotherham v Wednesday, with no more than 2 thousand Wednesday season ticket holders there, all on a database and being played bang outside police HQ .............. pity “police advice” didn’t run to the protection of children over the last 20 years!

The whole moving fixtures thing is rubbish. There is enough processing power in a home computer to generate a fixture list that accounts for games like this. 

 

I hate the fact that people can plan transport, hotels and so on and get it all undermined by the police or TV. Granted, hotels are probably not an issue for this specific fixture but it happens regularly.

We can play the Blunts on a Friday night after every fu*ker has had a day on the sauce. But we've got to kick off early because of the aggro in Toytown?

 

Reyt.

Does that mean it will be on the red button now?

[OhForAnotherShez]

Would imagine it may be to do with the porkies being at home 3pm

Purple button - am I right @stevewhiterose ?

Leeds at home pigs away moved to Friday nights but they can’t handle a 3pm ko on a Saturday. Absolutely pathetic. No wonder no one has any confidence in the police anymore.

This will be rearranged to midweek if we get to the 5th round of the FA Cup.

Hate to sound like I'm supporting cops but I don't suppose Tory cuts on police numbers has helped.

Yes it will be unless it gets moved to Friday night for sky coverage anyway.

We dont always agree on things, but you are spot on with this mate.

Are you for real?

 

Absolutely nothing to do with police cuts, they've been doing this long before the Tories came in to power!

And yet swfc v rovrum at a stadium with 24k inside just 3 weeks ago was held at 3pm on a Saturday

Sorry, didn’t realise the cuts only came in after the Leeds and pigs games? And can you just remind me how those cuts affected the abysmal treatment of rape victims in Rotherham over the last twenty years. Under a labour government?

[SiJ]

Ah, so SYP are able to conveniently find enough coppers when Sky rearrange the Steel City derby and our clash with Leeds for a Fruday night kick off. And yet, Saturday at 3pm - against Rotherham - is too much for them to handle? 

 

Absolute nonsense.

Thanks to Public service cuts ( To give tax relief to the Millionaires) there are not enough police to do the job.

Pretty sure this was a common occurrence well before any public service cuts.

Not sure why you’re trying to politicise it?

Yes there are. They are just not in the right place or at the right level. The organisation is top heavy with management. Why the hell do they pay the chief constable and PCC or whatever he is called two massive fat salaries to do the same bloody job.  Trouble is you tell a CC to cut spending, he’s not going to get rid of all his mates from the lodge is he?

At my advanced years all the police that I know are well retired, however most stick to their guns on the Hillsborough Disaster being solely the supporters fault. A hell of a lot of today’s senior command will have been trained by the old guard, the attitude that all football supporters are nobheads will take years to erase.
