McRamFan Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Personally yes they should. They currently only pay for police that are on the grounds if the club, not elsewhere such as station etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 if they pay for it, the police shouldn't dictate the game time/date Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadioactiveWaste Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Yes. I thought they picked up the whole tab, but if its only the ground then perhaps something should be looked at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shang Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Yes. Sport is a commercial event, they should do as other venues and events do where they pay their fees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoetheRam Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 No. But nor should they be in the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilkleyram Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 No they shouldn't. Policing is a public service paid for by council tax payers. Football clubs pay their taxes already and contribute to the overall state income. Where would it stop? Car boot sales on a Sunday that attract lots of people and traffic; the village fete; sports day at a school? Before long the police would be charging any organisation that held an event at which large numbers of people gathered, just in case something happened or where they thought they could earn some additional income. And where and when would the charging zone stop - 3 miles or 3 streets from PP? What if Rams and F****t fans started fighting 3 hours before kick off, or 3 hours after it finished, in Nottingham, is that the responsibility of the club too?

Bridgford Ram Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I guess as long as Carnivals and Festivals pay for policing, and indeed other sporting events then football should. I assume there is a rule that anything with x number of expected visitors needs y number of police and is paid for by the organisers. Why should a club make money by attracting fans but the local police force foot the bill? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1of4 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Only if the plods who are standing around the ground doing nothing but watching the game pay for a ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
