Polis Costs

[Gosforth Mackem]

Revealed: How much Newcastle United and Sunderland pay for policing matches

 

[Binxy]

So Sunderland were charged double Newcastle.
Just another example of the piss take party.

 

[JL1985]

So we blew a fortune policing the Celtic game, well done Bain!!

The coppers have to get the metro through here though. It's not cheap.

 

[Slow joe]

It doesn't affect me in the slightest but it is a bit odd how it cost us double what it cost them and their crowds aren't far off double ours.

 

[Mags Stink]

So Policing costs are set by the Home Office not Northumbria Police yet we get charged twice what Newcastle do? Fuck off man.

 

[GordonMuchallNo1Fan]

Someone should tweet Donald about that as it's quite frankly disgraceful. Costs are way too high. Costs are set by the police forces.

 

[Musicman]

Sorry thought this was about the Smoggies manager

 

[Shipper]

Have I read the article correctly, aside from the Mags, we pay more than several London clubs? The club really is cash cow.

 

[Hank Scorpio]

The Celtic game will go down in history as the worst preseason game ever.

Horrible game; horrible away fans; horrible organisation; and now we find out it cost the club £30k to police

 

[darius]

Has anybody actually read that? It should be considered that the costs are higher for the games with the higher number of away fans. Celtic, Boro for example.

But why is is more expensive than the mags?
Are all coppers Mags?

According to the article it’s the Home Office.

But the numbers are very odd

There should be more detail to this like, such as number of officers at each game and what facilities used by the Police so you can get a better idea as to the reasons why your bill was higher than ours. Looks mental on the face of it.

That Celtic game, how much were tickets and what was the attendance? You’re looking at the policing swallowing up about 1/3 - 1/2 of the total gate receipts which makes it an awful choice.

We have a home friendly every year against middling European opposition and it would be interesting to see what the costs are for those compared to your bill for Celtic.

You can say that again mate

 

[Ashley In!!]

Yet another example of how badly things were being run off the pitch under the previous regime.

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

Ah the Celtic game:

Getting thumped was good for morale
Jason Steele showed his skills
“Tommy the hero” created chaos in the city centre

And we paid for it

Marvellous. Isn’t it?

But Premier League teams bring more away fans than Championship teams. Quite a lot more in general

I bet they didn't for those two quoted games and the club get charged only for officers in the ground so they must have used more Police and less stewards.
