Yep, you and me both. Looking forward to replacing it with the Unarmed-Protester-Murdering Old Cunt thread

Decision reserved until later this year. Hmmm.

[simplyleedsutd]

Its almost as if one of the sides in the case had a reason to pay up later...

[gazurtoids]

Entirely the judge's decision to reserve it though, isn't it?

The policing bill is not high up on my list of stupid things that Leeds United spunk money on therefore I have paid little interest in this.

Perhaps Bates should sue the owners of Yorkshire radio as they seem to be a bigger drain on the resources of the club the policing costs.

Or - and bear with me here - he doesn't sue anyone, and fucks off. Controversial, I know.

Fuck off, a lad can dream.

it is.

It is completely at the judges discretion, doesn't mean one of the parties didn't request it.

Didn't know it could be requested, is that right?

John Beggs QC, for the police, told the court Leeds United's home matches had one of the worst records for football-related violence in the UK.

Do we? Bloody hell that has obviously passed me by in the last few years, apart from a bit of pushing and shoving at Cardiff or Millwall games I dont remember anything of note. And if the violence happens away from the ground you can't really make the club responsible surely.

They say that they're there for the football, so the football club should contribute.

I suppose the question is do pubs/nightclubs have to pay extra to the police towards dealing with drunkeness in the town centre at 3am in the morning? As I see it it's the same principle, in that if the pubs/clubs weren't there that anti social behaviour wouldn't happen in that quantity at that time.

Anybody know the answer to that?

It's all about the time frame I guess. How far back is he going? I suspect your man there is being a bit duplicitous with the use of stats; I can't believe we've been that bad recently.

[gazurtoids]

We're usually near the top when the list of banning orders comes out, but I always assumed that to be a function of a away matches. "One of the worst" could mean anything though, really.

My overview is that the club is skating on thin ice with this whole thing. They're certain to lose because of the precedent a win would set.

Say you organise a festival in a field somewhere, and the police have to manage traffic congestion five miles away as a result of the festival. It's inevitable that the festival organisers would be charged for that.

This is a form of making the police cost the government less by stealth. What they'd like to do is cut budgets and then charge 'users' for the privilege of being policed, at every opportunity. It stinks, but it's the way the world is heading.

All as a result of Simon B voting Tory, obviously

Surely if they plan to do that the clubs should have a say in what is an appropriate level of policing and would then look to pass costs on to certain away teams - that'd screw us as everyone would be charging us more on away days.

And there I was thinking it was the labour party that caused all the problems......
