    Policing costs

    Was reading on Pie and Bovril that Queens seem to pay huge costs compared to other teams in our league, any idea why ?
    All these teams get much bigger crowds than we do and some defo have crowd problems (if you have been to a Falkirk Dunfermline match you will know what I mean).

    Seems rather pricey compared to clubs with far bigger crowd averages to Queens

    I'd be surprised if these were realistic costs....

    These figures make little sense in terms of the crowds and the absence of any real issues at Palmerston.
