Date move for Shrewsbury Town (H)

[valiant_593]

No doubt this will get a venomous personal reply in your usual style, but I beg to differ with the 'understandable'.

 

No Chelsea fans will go anywhere near Vale Park, and most Shrewsbury fans will travel by car or coach so the only possible flashpoint would be Stoke station which 40 or so police should be able to handle. Chelsea and Shrewsbury are hardly known rivals, after all.

 

If the police cannot handle this, then we should be worried how they would cope with any sort of emergency on a large scale in the area.

 

A slightly longer shift, a bit of organisation, a staggered kick off time (Vale 2pm on Saturday?) - planners are lazy and just sweep it away with a decision to move it to Friday.

 

I don't blame Vale or Stoke for this, but the police and football authorities who plan fixtures need to use wome imagination and intelligence in stopping thjis happening.

 

Or stop any possible trouble by just simply moving the game by one day.... it's not exactly the end of the world.

It's a joke, always at our expense. Why can't stoke move to Monday not like either of them are in Europe.

 

Still let's drop our attendance and income for preference of the overpaid tossers in the premier league who get 100m for finishing bottom. They don't even need supporters.

Although its a joke how many fixtures we have had changed recently because of this, it's the midlands grand national on the Saturday at Uttoxeter so will be able to attend both now

Playing Tuesday and Friday that week isn't ideal.

 

Any news on Coventry away yet?

I thought this, not sure why Vale have agreed to that.
