Bit on BBC news about how the police in Birmingham are interacting with fans more to make it a better atmosphere. also good that proper fans are informing the police about the trouble makers.

Mind, the west midlands police couldn't get any worse towards football fans
 


Massive reduction in police number = massive drop in number of arrests, who would have thought?

Wouldn't mind seeing the arrests per copper at the games from both before and after, bet theres not much difference, just less coppers to lock people up for trivial shit.

To be fair, if the coppers are not there then they can hardly lock people up can they? It does not mean people are not acting up.

Met are the best by a mile, deal with public order events day in day out.

It's the likes of Northumbria, West Mids etc that don't get the opportunity to have a ruck very often that like to lord it over footy fans as soon as they see them.

It doesnt help that the Ch. Supt in charge of the Sunderland area and match days is or certainly was a mag season ticket holder.

West Midlands, and West & South Yorkshire are some of the worst, the MET I find fairly decent when it comes to policing football

This x 100

I always thought the Met would just shrug their shoulders - even with a big turnout as they were used to huge crowds and could deal with them. THe West Mids & South Yorks were nothing short of evil bastards!

We were once at WBA with an off-duty copper travelled on the supporters bus with us when this copper on a horse started the usual bullying - move away tactics etc. He had the temerity to challenged this tit on the horse and then produced his warrant card and said something to the effect of "now go and direct traffic or do some police work son" -

As for S Yorks? - never the same after the miners strike (see East Mids etc.) - they finally got their full come-uppance and exposé after the recent Hillsborough hearing.
