JulieH Posted June 21, 2019 Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 My other bit of advice having failed last season to take it is to wait a week before booking trains or hotels for away games , tv companies normally take about that to choose any fixtures and last season I allocated resources only to have to change it all again a week later there is one clash of home games with rovers , so I understand both clubs are currently in discussion around that fixture .

In years gone by, when fixtures were compiled by some chap in a shed, using bits of paper, there were no clashes of home games with Rovers. Now we have computers to help there is a clash.

Is there any need for either club to rearrange? There's no history of violence between City & Wigan, so unlikely to need much of a presence, if any (unless the SAG insist on one I guess). Pompey can only bring a maximum of 1100 to their game which will hit 9,500 tops. What would be the reason for change? If we had Millwall in town I could understand it, but over 5 miles apart and two visiting teams with no history of violence between them I just can't see where the issue is.

I imagine this will have a bearing on several of our fixtures, when Sky want to broadcast Bears’ home games, we will have to move any that clash.

Effectively it’s 4 sets of fans having to be policed and can cause issues at train stations/ city centres etc. The policing for it is outside of the footprint for these areas and quite rightly there is no recovery of costs for us to put on extra resources, therefore rather than do this both clubs tend to come up with solutions when these clashes occur. We are not talking vast numbers of extra police but just some resilience in case, as you know front line numbers are greatly reduced and it would be difficult to respond and deal with effectively should something happen.

Hi @JulieH I understand the concept of having to police rival fans at train stations and city centre and nobody can doubt cuts made to policing. Other cities manage to host multiple sporting events with no problem. Why do Avon & Somerset struggle ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have looked at how they manage their games, they tend to be the bigger forces to be honest, wmp and gmp for examples, and already have an established city centre operation etc . it is an ongoing problem that we are still working on and I am hoping we can resolve it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
