Police - random thought of the day

[Silkblade]

A very strange question but just had a thought, how much police do you reckon will be involved on Derby day? Obviously you have police inside the ground, in and around the pubs, on the streets.

Surely it’s got to be easily over 100 officers on duty that day in Sheffield?

Obviously not just for the Steel City derby but for every other big derby game.

Why? You planning a heist at the South side of Sheffield or something?

I mean wouldn’t you want to take down all of the pigs? Doesn’t sound like a bad idea

You're way off.

When you consider a riot van holds 10 cops. There's probably 100 riot police before counting any others.

Couple of thousand usually isn't it? From various regions

It’s a big day for the police. They’ll want some trouble to get stuck into and to try out their new spray. Policing after the home game last season was ridiculous. Doubt it will be any different tomorrow. Their chance to cosplay counter-insurgency operations.

Yeah, I was thinking 000s instead of 00s

The record for a single premier league game is about 900ish - the met reported having 1500 on duty in London to cover 9 football matches and Tommy Robinson/other protests in central London back in September.

Just over 400 on duty for the derby at Hillsborough last season. Would guess similar this weekend.
