    Looks like the West and South Yorkshire forces are over-policing football matches, rather than solving crimes.

    That's disgraceful. I've had discussion with my missus' Dad who is a season ticket holder at the Emirates and he's always been surprised that we have such a high profile police presence and we have our games dictated to us about when we play and what stands we can open.

    I've been to the Emirates twice and i've yet to see a police presence. One was v QPR, so something of a London derby. No police at all.

    You look at our game vs the blunts for example, and there were literally hundreds of police on the route from the station in clusters of 4 doing absolutely nothing. Why we have this inflicted cost and presence when others don't, I really don't know.

    Ironically, visit Millwall, and you don't see much police presence either.

    Keeps Council Tax down. Shaft footy fans for unnecessary and useless policing
