FL not having any power whatsoever and allowing Charlton to take the piss by skimping on police expenses.For safety reasons but why? What safety reasons?
To safeguard TV ratings: Sunland v Charlton is more appealing.For safety reasons but why? What safety reasons?
This one went on the toss of a brick.Goes on a coin toss surely?

Presume it was so the police could separate the pitch at the halfway line.
They could stop a Doncaster pitch invasion but not a Charlton one so didn't want the Charlton fans flocking to and congregating near the away end if they won.
That worked well!!!
Probably did actually. They all came on the pitch but celebrated at their end and the police formed a line.
If it had been the other end you would have had 10k Charlton fans running to meters from the away fans to celebrate with their players
In that case the ground isn’t fit to host a match. That incidental factor could have changed the entire course of the play offs. It’s not Doncaster Rovers fault that Charlton fans would go on like animals and celebrate like they had just won the premier league.Probably did actually.

Shouldn't be a factor when deciding which end to take pensProbably did actually. They all came on the pitch but celebrated at their end and the police formed a line.

It sums up how out of touch the EFL are, it’s pretty embarrassing and as you infer could lead to a dangerous precedent.With that logic, do the police and safety officer tell the ref to blow his whistle while the ball is down the opposite end of the pitch to the away fans in, say for example, a final day relegation decider...just in case the fans decide to invade the pitch - can't have them running to celebrate with their players metres away from the away fans!

So had Doncaster git a penalty during the game at that end would the police have intervened and made them take it at the other end. Thousands of fan's on the pitch at the end made a mockery of any decisionIt's got fuck all to do with the EFL. It's the police match commanders decision.
I agree it's ridiculous but the police obviously made the decision in light of the resource they had.
