Again, what we were told was that they would charge for other fixtures, other than those specified.

No, they charge for all fixtures that are Policed, but they bring in extra men which we don't get charged for to cover other eventualities. It's still a hefty bill, which is why most games aren't Policed as the safety needs are met in other ways.

Are you kidding? Do you not recall Whelan seeing his over his policing bill for Wigan Athletic?

I see.

I do. That was GMP and Wendyball, though. I was under the assumption, having been told, that Cheshire Police were the ones who demanded that the specified games were Policed, as they posed a potential threat to public order within an otherwise law abiding situation, and did so at no cost to the club. ALL Chavball matches must be Policed and it is a considerably bigger operation than RL matches, I'd imagine, having been in Wigan (and at Latics matches) on Match days and seen it first hand.
BTS has stated otherwise. I for one am willing to leave it at that, not the biggest thing to debate over, as we have disclosed [iwhy[/i they are Policed, which was the point of the thread.
