Any idea what clubs pay Police for games?Originally Posted by rodcurrie
Apparently South Yorks Police want clubs to pay more for policin matches.If not they think bannin away fans or games kickin off at 9am may be the way to go.Good job they dint have to police an England game in both Footy and Cricket on't same day like they Cops did last week in Leeds,what a poor force we have,but then some of us have known this for decades.UTCB
With the amount of money in football, I'd like to think a good amount goes to public services (not just SYP).

Just another moan about funding from a Chief Constable incapable of doing his job. While ever he persists with his 1980's mentality portraying all Football fans as drunken yobs then nothing will change. All other forces around the country have moved on and whilst there are elements of trouble policing is designed to provide safety but also make the sporting occasion enjoyable. Ask any Blades fan when he goes over the border into Lancashire and around the country about the contrast in police attitude.
The CC's comments about being able to shut down places where trouble occurs on the high street gives you an indication of the direction he is going. Nothing about protecting the interests of the great majority of law abiding fans who attend games. At this rate 3 p.m. kick offs on a Saturday will be a thing of the past in South Yorkshire.
Rather than work with Supporters groups to help police matches his veiled threats only exacerbate the situation. A man out of his depth when it comes to understanding how to effectively police football matches. Hopefully he will be called to account by local politicians.
