The cost to the taxpayer is the same.

Millwall fans embarrassing themselves again after beating Bradford. When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

For example at Town they pay for 0 officers at the lowest category (but there will be 2 or 3 there) and about 15ish I think at the highest (but there would be around 100 involved) I can see where you are coming from and it would be interesting if a club refused to pay at all but I think the FA would then get involved and refuse them a safety license . I guess it's the same at gigs etc

I doubt they'd dare ask for Pakistanis to pay for increased surveillance on their community due to high amounts of terrorist activities and child grooming that they have attached to it
