Extra security for Boxing Day

[swindonseagull]

But after a skinfull on Christmas Day is that wise?

Im driving from Swindon.....Oh but then I can control my drinking....

They'll still have the Reading equivalent of the Love Bus Crew turning up plus parking is going to be carnage with many of their fans traveling by car.

'parking is going to be CARnage'

I see what you did there.

According to a source at Sussex Police, extra security will be drafted in on Boxing Day. Reading fans are probably more likely to give you malware than a punch, so is this to control the rowdy mob in WSL? Or to arrest anyone who says anything against the manager/Paul Watson/Barber/pies?

Overtime.

Come on Tony Bloom

Go down down down

Wont be because of the Reading crowd as due to trains I cant seem them bringing many, no trains to London.

No doubt the Reading to Gatwick service will be well used,but anyone who supports either team and has nothing better to do at Christmas time has my symphafy.

Could be more steward than fans 14,475

Not wishing to spoil a good rumour but Darren Balkham says it is categorised as a normal low risk game with no additional policing..........

.......now carry on.

If true wonder if it was a club request or if the police insisted. Either way nice bit of overtime money for the January sales for the ones who just stand at the ground or the station.

Not everyone, needs/wants/likes/have to use trains.

There are many other forms of transport.

I haven't been to a football match by train since the 1970's.

having not scored 2 goals in a home game since Charlton (i was wearing shorts and applying sun tan lotion whilst camping in the New Forest) I can see the North Kicking off big time when JFC is announced as a starter and Murray scores again at the Amex.......Gonna get tasty.

JFC will start,.... he is being given more game time to push his trf credentials up a bit, he is the great white hope for a home grown big money trf to keep the FFP wolves at bay. (if they drop him, his value will plummet, even though he is a regular in the England u21's)

There are no trains from Reading to Gatwick on Boxing Day it is a bus replacement service every hour taking 1hr 40mins.
