RedM Posted February 27, 2019 Report Share Posted February 27, 2019 I bet neither club or the Police wanted this to be a night game with possible playoffs or relegation a factor. There was a big enough Police presence last season when it was a 3pm nothing game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed either team don’t need anything Will be quite the police operating if we both do. Last year there were helicopters circling The Den and surrounding areas and whilst it was a big game it wasn’t the penultimate game of the season. Then hopefully Leeds away in the playoffs if we get into them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BessexRED Posted February 27, 2019 Report Share Posted February 27, 2019 Oh yeah @JulieH whilst you’re here, I noticed there was a police presence in Bedminster last night including horses strolling down the high street. Was this a result of the Swansea game or are Birmingham fans seen as potential for trouble? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No nothing to do with Swansea game, the Birmingham game was always being policed , really low numbers of police were used on it including the horses . No issues at all between the sets of fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed either team don’t need anything Dear Julie, Any idea why the game is not being played next week? Neither team have a mid week fixture but it has taken 10 days from Millwall's fifth round success on 16th Feb to announce the change (as announced on 26th). Police issues? Oddly, no comments from either club when both would be benefit from the fixture being next week than 7/8 fixtures in April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampshire Red Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 Perhaps both clubs on a winter break, Dubai, Botswana etc- will be interesting to hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went to a mates wedding there once, the friday night before the doo was actually really good, lots of good pubs, all humming, but no girls allowed out on friday, After the wedding on the saturday went to the local BP Social Club, girls now allowed, which had a great cabaret, cheap beer and was really nice. Wasn't bad at all, but very northern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Original OTIB Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 Now known: The Metropolitan Police and Millwall both did not want the rearranged game on either 5th or 6th March. Apparently, despite knowing of the fixture change from 16th February onwards, they both agreed there was insufficient time to put the necessary "security" in place. What a load of cobblers.

No idea what Millwall are going to do now if they win their FA Cup QF. There's no more space to fit a game in! They'll have to go Saturday, Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday or something.

And Swansea are in the same boat - due to play Middlesbrough. So could play into our hands actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BessexRED Posted March 2, 2019 Report Share Posted March 2, 2019 Something to consider for those planning on getting the train, the last train back is at 2330 which will be fine as long as The Met don’t hold us back, but if it’s a game where one of us having something to play for it’s a nailed on certainty. How long for I’ve no idea, it’s usually until they’ve cleared the home ends and for clubs like Brum, Sheff Utd etc in the past it’s been over an hour. I hope it doesn’t apply but it’s something to take into account. Considering staying the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
