[Small Mendonca]

Pointless. I don't get why they do it, people don't drink less, they just start drinking earlier.

 

[sitwell]

Coppers round here are laughable. Means I will have to get up at 7 to watch it

I don't, personally. 11am is a bit early for me on a bog standard match day. Different on away days and certain occasions.

However, the whippet fuckers will have six digits firmly wrapped around a tall, cool something from the crack of dawn. And I'm not talking about a relative with bad circulation.

 

[cal the blade]

bastard

 

[McGrath]

That shafts them as it means their fans will have to check the big hand and the little hand when figuring out what time kick off is

 

[Ricky]

Fuck SYP.

 

[Blade82]

Wankers.

So the games v Forest, Villa, Derby, Sunderland, Wolves, Birmingham
Etc all going to be changed too? These clubs will all bring as many as the dingles

 

[snootyfenooty]

Things will only get worse as the repercussions from the Hillsbro' disaster start to kick in. SYP will be using this as justification for creating a police state in Sheffield on match days and restricting ground capacity to the minimum they think they can get away with.

Didn't know Jeremy beadle was a Barnsley fan

 

[Tunstall Fred]

Millwall will be 9am Sunday morning kick off if SYP have their way,

 

[Fulwood Blade]

Nanny State.............

UTB

 

[MORPH]

Theirs a night meeting at Doncaster races, and Sharleen Spiteri and her mates are on after, on same day as the match, this time change as worked out perfectly for me.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

You can get SICK and TIRED of this happening.

 

[HeCanDoMagic]

Millwall will be 9am Sunday morning kick off if SYP have their way,

Only if Christmas Day falls on a Sunday.

 

[Norderner]

So embarrassing, especially when you see a row of just one seat segregation at rangers v Celtic, or the Manchester derby etc.

Sky pay the policing bill for them games. And plod go ott and stick thousands of coppers on over time.

Yes we do
If youre going to drink all day you have to start in the morning

 

[nopigfansintown]

It's beyond a joke now. How many will be on the piss before, and for many hours afterwards now? I know I will.

 

[Bartleby]

Surely not. Were all pigs, rotherham and barnsley's home games against those clubs (sunlan excepted, but there was newcastle) last season moved forward by SYP?

 

[DifferentClass]

ACAB.

 

[John Street West Terrace]

As an extra precaution they know made it a 5am KO .. with a 3000 police in on OT presence ,one fan allowed each on Kop & Lane End .. 250m of no mans land , then 50m of anti personnel mines ,the SAS will seal off all the roads for the Dingles passage from the station with aerial support from a helicopter gun ship . The Blade will monitored for 72 hrs before the game before being picked in a multi armoured personnel carrier and driven to the ground with a police a cavalcade .
When interviewed the Chief Of SY Dibble and asked if he was happy with the security arrangements replied no ' We wanted a 4am KO , a 1000 extra police and x15 fighter support .

Absolute Bell Ends

 

[west_yorks_blade]

There's a couple of hundred knob head Dingles that want to cause trouble at the very most.
Add to that a similar number of Blades who may take offence at them.

For that 25K plus people have to be inconvenienced in terms of kick off time, closed roads, paramilitary style police all over the place. Probably a nice bit of overtime for Durham Constabulary to sit around in vans for a few hours.

We are talking about Barnsley ...... yes Barnsley - small shitty town in South Yorkshire with a small support.

Its ridiculous.

 

[Davalon]

Embarrassing.

 

[Muttley]

How loud can I shout FFFFUXAKE!!!!!!!!!

 

[Treeton Blade]

Would the H&S executive have owt to do with this?

We have a full time member (in every sense) at the Lane, Jurgen somat or other, speciality is netting off seats for no reason.

I think this Barnsley fixture is the first we have ever had moved forward, says everything about the capabilitys of SYP, that they need to move this forward, lazy policing, easy thing to do.

Queens rd was closed last time as well,causing gridlock.

Bus for me this time.

 

[LS16Blade]

SYP are frightened of their own shadows, these days.

Notwithstanding that Hillsborough came about through a 'perfect storm' of numerous desperate contributory factors, and that 28 years on, SYP has a completely new administration, they remain absolutely terrified of the slightest possibility that anything, however minor, might occur at a Sheffield football ground ever again. The Pigs have the same nonsense at the Sty.

As plenty have pointed out, other metropolitan forces can plan and carry out the staging of football matches at 3pm on a Saturday afternoon; it's just in Sheffield that they're seemingly incapable.

It's almost in keeping with Sheffield's 'village' image and irrelevant standing as 'a city', that its police force is unable to stage a second division football match involving the visit of little old Barnsley without resorting to the sort of measures that other cities don't even need to wheel out when up to 75,000 are attending a fixture between fierce rivals. Embarrassing.

 

[Muttley]

No reason for this.....and I cant gerroff work til 12.30. Wanker plods.

 

[Kenilworth]

Nanny State.............

UTB

Sherry, again?

 

[Tuns25]

Assuming Barnsley is the first of several matches to be moved how many hundreds of thousands could this cost us?

Every early kick will cut away and home support compared to a 3pm Saturday KO.

Around 2,000 fans less per match? Average £25 a ticket - £50,000 lost per match. Plus any extra spend of those fans in the ground.

Half a dozen matches - £300,000.

If the issue is United refusing to pay for policing or extra policing outside the ground or for extra stewarding inside then looks like a false economy.

If the issue is United have been given no option, then just on a financial basis they should be kicking up right fuss about this farce.
