Police Today - Why?

Nick is great.  If your on twitter Supt West from WYP is very good.  He's working on the Enable Research Project with Amanda at FSF and guys such as Clifford Stott.  Looks at crowd dynamics and how to manage them far more effectively than it is being done now.

To also note that more that once yesterday I was specifically asked for by either police or stewards to calm down a situation created by the way they handled things. I've absolutely no training in any area but I managed to sort it - Why? because I showed respect and listened to whoever was there and they did the same back.  Who knew this would work hey?!?

I would suggest Kristine that you where able to do that as you have earned the respect of many via your actions.

I noticed at half time you where busy with the diplomat part of your role.

Keep up the good work, the way you engage and inform the supporters keeps us all behind you.

UTM!!

Northampton copper at the railway station told us it's easy money on overtime as there's hardly any trouble.
At the same time his colleagues are running up and down the ramps because there are "a couple of people from Mansfield about".
In fcuking Mansfield....

I got talking to a copper at Nottingham Railway station and he said that in the briefings they get encouraged to wind up the Grimsby fans without making it obvious because they know some will get drunk off and kick off, therefore means an arrest.

He also told me that for big games it's not unheard of senior police officers having bets with other senior officers on how many football fans they can nick.

One senior pillock tells us if your house is broken into you might not get a visit by a bobby,

Unless you do not speak English or are disabled or elderly,

BUT

Come to a foot ball match they can find 40 or more bobbies to look at Town fans,
