the problem is you play it at midday you've got at least 10hours to manage afterwards.
you play it at 745 and you've got the prematch piss up, and 10pm-3am to deal with.
anywhere inbetween and you have a shit sandwich.
so the question really is why does our derby need more policing than Liverpool or Manchester?
is it simply that the hatred here is stronger that those 2?
are their derbies more frequently played so it's took the sting out?
is it, as fans, our fault for not been able to attend a sporting event without wanting to cause a bit of aggro?
i don't doubt that some coppers appreciate the overtime, but they don't sanction it.
I'm sure the top bod who has a dwindling policing budget would much rather spend a few hundred grand on solving crime or chasing paedo's than babysitting a few hundred hoolies. - but what does he do?
don't beef up the numbers, it kicks off and people shout where were the coppers, beef it up and get slaughtered for it.
maybe him and McCabe should share a glass of wine and compare "can't win" stories.

So what they are saying is they need 500 bodies to police a 30,000 crowd and Sheffield City centre yet Lancashire police need less bodies to police a crowd of at least 60,000 and Manchester City centre ............... load of bullshit.

What they mean is we are incompetent butsince the spotlight of the Hillsborough Disaster inquiry and the media storm the whole UK is watching us waiting for us to faux Pas again so we are being over zealous just in case.....

They could just say nothing.

How will a senior officer in his riot gear get his photo on the front page of the Star then?

You are aware of the lies they told about the September game aren't you?

 

[sheffielder]

That’s about 1 police officer for every 4 away fans.

Hugely over the top.

You’re not counting the ones in town without tickets, both sides

Thought this thread title was going to mean that Uwe had announced that Cole was on his way here!

Wednesday fans will be kept back after the game to reduce the risk of clashes outside the stadium.

In fairness thats probably so that they can give them their refunds

[blade too long]

Heard they were drafted in to keep the suicide rate down among wednesday fans post match
