Surely there should be parity for all clubs, - especially as Police Scotland is now responsible for policing the entire country?

How can Dundee Utd whose average home attendance was five times more than Queens have a police budget of about a third of that for Palmerston?

Championship

Brechin City – £0.00
Dumbarton – £0.00
Dundee United – £4,672.80
Dunfermline Athletic – £5,642.40
Falkirk – £6,280.80
Greenock Morton – £9,783.60
Inverness Caledonian Thistle – £0.00
Livingston – £0.00
Queen Of The South – £13,287.60
St Mirren – £7,036.80
Yes totally bizarre. The notion that we can spend £13K+ and others much less and some none at all raises some serious questions. Livi with zero cost is very odd given they were promoted through the play-offs and thus had some high profile games. I`d like to know who makes the decisions around this. Presumably that`s done locally. Accepting that there is a "unified" Police Scotland there must still be local input to this. Do Plod in Dumfries see our stewarding as inadequate without police back-up? What is the club`s view on this or their input around the decision making for that matter. Bizarre stuff.
