BBC NEWS just said that all Police Forces have to send officers to cope with security demands of Trump's visit. Maybe a Friday evening was also too much for a town centre venue?
Well Sheffield Wednesday playing in Lincoln next Friday night having sold out their allocation of 2000ish tickets plus others are said to be travelling, so ok for South Yorks to send fans out but not let them in. Seems hard to believe that Grimsby fans are beyond control? They clearly cope when they play their local derbies and in reality we will not be taking anything like the following the respective Sheffield teams will take for league games.

Trump is blamed for most things including the weather, but Towns cancellation is stretching things a bit
It was Hitler's fault our best ever team broke up so there is some precedent!

Just seen Peter Levy saying that on tonight's Look North that due to some disruption after England's latest World Cup win Humberside police will be clamping down, South Yorks police have already written to FIFA asking for all remaining games to be cancelled as they cannot guarantee to keep the peace.

Just out of curiosity, would you care to expand on that whoever it was that disagrees with my comment above? Do you mean that Grimsby fans are beyond control? Or do you think that SY police have not made the choice not to control them? Just giving an x is hardly worth it, surely?

Wednesday have sold 3k, have the Stacey west, the Selenity and can pay on the gate - Personally think it is a disaster waiting to happen.

Still not an excuse but Friday is the start of Sheffield Tramlines Music Festival. Recent attendances have topped 100,000 and takes place for the first time in Hillsborough Park. Locals have mixed feelings about this decision and expect a significant Police presence for this event. Manpower will be stretched for SYP so we lose out to the Stereophonics!

I hope they can cope with those who go in their gladrags to have handbags.

Police budgets slashed by this wretched government. Not surprised.
