At least 50 Police, 4 horses, full riot gear and a nonsensical exit plan making many of us walk all the way round the ground. No  'Sunday' mini Police on low ages. Massive individual and collective intimidatory presence with no announcements about crowd management at the end of the game. Do these costs come off the gate money before Town get their share?

Is it worth our SLO shedding any light?  Could that clown in blue at Northampton have caused some of this OTT Police plan? Sick of a few Town fans reducing the enjoyment for the many.

Well over the top 👊


In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.

As far as I understand the home club only pays for police in the ground, thus coming out of the cost prior to sharing out the profit to the 2 clubs and the FA. I assume the good people of Derbyshire pay for the rest, and guessing there would be some police drafted in from other areas, more than likely on double overtime. Then there is the hay for the horses to pay for also.

Well we got there about 12:15. Enjoyed a few beers in a friendly real ale pub ( the name escapes me). Saw no trouble before or after the match. The only time I can say that on a visit to Chesterfield.

Thought their support was very poor leading to a sh1t atmosphere. The minimal contact we had with the coppers was friendly from both sides.


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

Every game has a category rating and each rating has a set number of police attached to it but it is nowhere near the number that are actually there. So for a top category game the club could pay for say 10 but there would be 50 or 60 there . A low category game  is 0 but there are probably 4 actually there

Policing and getting us to walk round the ground afterwards when their "firm" where on the bus home before doing their homework as they've got school in the morning was completely over the top.

Stewarding was pathetic and their inability to get people to sit in a seat rather to stand in an isle nearly led to a serious accident when we scored our first,

We take a cut of the gate receipts, not a cut of profit after costs.
