Football clubs paying to 'hire' the police force is the biggest bunch of bullspit I have ever come across. They are servants of the Crown, the officers are salaried out of the public purse, are not paid extra for attending football matches and do not have to perform duties outside that for which they are normally employed.Fletch wrote: Perhaps a look at the club site might be a good idea Clem? They have already got a extra pound added on for "high value" matches, presumably for policing/extra stewards.
Supply and demand only works in this case assuming demand outstrips supply. I would like to think we would have plenty of sell outs but realistically cant see it happening, even with reduced capacity...
If some hippies organise a march against shoes, or teabags or whatever it is which is causing "global warming" this week, the five-oh duly arrive and have to have a fight with a chap called Frog who is refusing to shower until Tibet is free.This is disgusting. Are the protesters charged for police attendance? No, of course they aren't, because A. organic wheatgrass shorts don't come with pockets, so hippies don't carry cash and B. ITS WHAT THE FECKING POLICE ARE FOR, TO POLICE THINGS!
