Would've put the mockers on the Supporters Trust Race Night to raise funds for Barnsley Hospital Broadcasting though. 7.30pm in the Legends Suite, Saturday 27th April - tickets available via the Trust website. (apologies for the gratuitous plug, but it is a good cause!) Anyway, we'll be safe by then...
Thing is, there's going to be 5000 from hull regardless of kicking off time. Can't wait until SYP discriminate me in my own town again.
The Police have too much of a say in football and quite why they have ordered this game be played at 15:00 is a bit of a mystery. The club stand to lose c£80,000 due to this decision so I imagine the Don is seething about this unwelcome intervention.
£80,000 so roughly 4,000 tickets. I wonder if the attendance would be affected that much if the game had been on tv? Look at the attendance for the Wednesday game I think it would.
Public safety my @rse..what about at Hillsborough on setdy? Coppers did fek all and stood and watched as potential and indeed, actual trouble arose on Leppings lane after the game. It was mayhem at times.
Re: Public safety my @rse..what about at Hillsborough on setdy? Absolutely pathetic decision and their reasons equally pathetic. Basically admitting that they doubt they could control a passionate crowd. Do they really think that a 3pm KO will result in absolutely no trouble?
