42 trumpton Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 First off well done city, sounded like a well fought win. Noticed that both sheffield teams were home on tuesday night, any ideas why both bristol clubs cant be home on the same day. ps thank you mr lansdown for the coach offer.

Gazred Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 You would have to ask the Avon and Somerset Constabulary about that one.....long been an issue, they just cant cope with it as far as i know, to expensive or not enough coppers, something along those lines.

Barrs Court Red Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 They couldn't even cope with us and Yeovil at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no arguments. Sheffield policy is different to ours. I don't know how far away their grounds are. There are only so many Police Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southport Red Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 I don't know how far away their grounds are. Hillsborough and Bramhall Lane are just a couple of miles apart - max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wally Street Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 The area that Avon & Somerset police cover is a lot bigger than the area that South Yorkshire police cover. There are also slightly more people in Avon and Somerset. Most of Avon & Somerset is rural and there is also a lot of coastline. South Yorkshire is landlocked and mostly urban. South Yorkshire police have more police officers, so it appears that the resources are more stretched down here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the reply but, you cant tell me with a combined crowd of around 10,000 (if we were both at home for 1st round matchs) that the a&s police couldnt have coped.

They could cope, but they probably just want to stick to their policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbs Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 My Dads a Wednesday fan and AFAIK they're very tough up their in regard to football and problems. A couple of years back they had to have their photo and other info printed on their membership and season tickets, not sure if that's still the case but I thought that was a bit rash for a membership. It's probably just better management and policing at the end of the day. Sheffield is a bigger city too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betherz Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Its Becasue Bristol Doesnt Have Enough Emergency Services To Cover Both Games. There's Police That Have To Be There And The Ambulance Service And Quite Frankly There Isnt Enough Staff To Go Around To Play Both Bristol Teams At Home On The Same Day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
