Policing at Derby matches 17:31 - Jan 4 with 938 viewsFifeITFC

Just seen that South Yorkshire Police requesting all Sheffield derbies to be played midweek to help manage resources.

Whilst I think police forces all over the UK are probably grossly underfunded and understaffed, the BBC report states the last game cost them over £203,000 whilst the home side were only billed £41,000.

What are people's thoughts on policing costs at matches? Should the clubs be more responsible for costs? Especially when forces are understaffed and money is tight for them.

Thoughts?

Poll: Lambert goes, would you prefer an ex-Town connection replacement or not?

Football fans pay tax and should be able to go to matches with an adequate police presence.

Games are massively over-policed. The UK economy hugely benefits from inbound investment and tourism from football culture. We should pay for it to the extent it's necessary.
