Ticket allocation for the Palace game - the Met's response

[GreersElbow]

This is more like it. They have also moved the away fans from the Holmesdale end of the AW stand, thus saving £60000 a game/season. But killing the banter!! I have been told that the Met charge a lot of money from the London clubs and a few of them got a bit uperty about it. The Met were making games Cat A then charging a bomb to police them whether the clubs wanted it or not!!

But that might all be bollox.

Giving the policing budget cuts, it wouldn't surprise me at all that The Met was setting this Cat A in order to bring in a little bit of extra money. But let's be honest, Palace; £30? Really?

I queried the allocation in an email last night and have just been phoned by a cop there who tells me that the Met didn't put pressure on the Palace board to restrict tickets neither did they give them any particular advice on the allocation. The Palace board are the ones who decided to conform to FL rules and offer the 10% rather than any more (as we did get for the 1-0 last time).

So there you go, straight from the horse's mouth, so to speak.

Then you better tell him that his boss, Alan Goodall has told me something different.

Good luck talking sense to the children's crusade.

Oh, erm, yes I did, of course. He said chief inspector major general Goodall has a bet with himself as to how many Brighton fans he can persuade it was "Palace's decision" to limit Brighton's capacity. Apparently he's doing quite well!

By the way this was against Leeds on Saturday. Leeds had about 4,000 to the far left of the picture. Palace fans were not sold any tickets in the Arthur Wait (The handful of fans you see are disabled fans/carers). Directly next to the Leeds fans were 2 lines of Old Bill and then they had this mob between the Arthur Wait and Holmesdale (20+?), separating Palace fans in the Holmesdale from.....Empty seats/Disabled fans in the Arthur. Money well spent?

Can you imagine how many would be there if 4,000 of you lot turned up, with Palace fans in the Arthur Wait with you? I don't blame CPF2010 for refusing to pay for hundreds of police when you/Millwall show up at our place and limiting your allocation to 2,500 odd. Police are taking the piss - Because they can.

Is now the right time to mention in just how high esteem Alan Goodall is held by Albion fans? He's an Arsenal fan himself but was probably the most effective Police Liaison officer that we had had in Sussex prior to his move to the met. Sgt Balkham was his right hand gnome prior to his elevation to the role.

I sincerely doubt he would be wrong about this or indeed would mislead a member of the public. probably has no time for the games being played by CPFC2010.
