Guest Roger Kint Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I'm certain a lot of these useless fuckers think this semi is a one legged affair. Must be plenty tickets left, few people i spoke to so far today have been slagging off fans for not going. One even admitted to not caring Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Icke - Son of God Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Newcastle United and Sunderland AFC are surprised and disappointed with the statement issued yesterday by Northumbria Police in which the force claims that the police cannot direct changes to kick-off times for the clubs' fixtures, referring in particular to the derby games. Over a number of years both clubs have made repeated representations to Northumbria Police to try and reach agreement over kick-off times to enable a traditional 3pm kick-off, or later, to enable broadcasters to give the game consideration in the majority of their time slots for live coverage. Police forces up and down the country have been able to police high-profile derby matches for years, including most recently the first Welsh derby in the Premier League, Cardiff v Swansea, on Sunday 3rd November at 4pm, Arsenal v Tottenham at 5.15pm on Saturday 4th January, and Manchester City v Manchester United on Sunday 22nd September at 4pm. In recent years, Northumbria Police have rejected every request made by the clubs for later kick-off slots, including Saturday 5.30pm, Sunday 4pm and Monday 8pm. Both clubs have evidence in the form of considerable written correspondence between Northumbria Police, the Premier League and the clubs, which contradicts their statement of yesterday. Indeed that correspondence has stated that Northumbria Police would not be prepared to police the evening fixtures requested previously, as well as their confirmation to the Premier League in writing in January 2013 that the force would not support derby matches with kick-off times later than 1.30pm. For Northumbria Police therefore to issue a statement stating that they do not direct changes to kick-off times is quite frankly false and absurd - and conflicts with the respectful and responsible manner in which both Newcastle United and Sunderland AFC have engaged with the police over many years with regard to the derby fixture. In light of Northumbria Police's latest statement, Newcastle United and Sunderland AFC will now inform the Premier League that all future fixtures between the two clubs will be available for kick-off times to suit the clubs, the League and their broadcast partners, if applicable, and will expect Northumbria Police to police these games, especially given the considerable costs both clubs incur for such special police services. After considering the police position, Sunderland AFC will be withdrawing the terms and conditions of ticket sales, which previously stated that all supporters must attend the game on official transport. The arrangements to provide complimentary buses and supporters branch transport will remain in place and Sunderland AFC advises fans that this is the safest method of travel to St James' Park. http://www.nufc.co.uk/articles/20140107/statment-from-newcastle-and-sunderland_2281670_3608446 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Fair play to both clubs there, even if walking hand-in-hand with them makes me vomit inside. It's hypocrisy for other derbies to kick off late, yet ours never goes past lunch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pisses me off that the disorder last home derby day was watched on with apathy by these useless lazy cunts and it was left to the Chronicle readers to 'grass up' the fucking idiots rather than NP actually do what the fuck they are paid handsomely to do.

Andymc1 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 They'll be extremely harsh on February 1st and arrest people for general public order offences. They'll then turn around to both clubs and say "look, we've had a record number of arrests. There would be serious trouble with a later kick off time - it can't happen". NUFC and SAFC will have to come to a compromise and we'll be kicking off at 10am if they ever get back in the Premier League Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Hello, I am the E-Communications Manager for Northumbria Police On behalf of the force. I would like to request that you share the following information on the forum for the benefit of your users. Clarification from Northumbria Police regarding derby match travel Dated: 07 Jan 2014 Clarification regarding the transportation of Sunderland AFC fans to St James' Park on February 1: Assistant Chief Constable Jo Farrell said: "As we have said previously Northumbria Police cannot direct changes to kick off times or control the issue of tickets and how supporters travel to matches. "The condition of ticketing and transportation to St James' Park is a contractual issue between the club and supporters and is not something Northumbria Police is involved in. "We cannot and will not direct supporters on how they travel to the game. "That said, the transportation issue has been discussed between both clubs and the police. Based on those discussions Sunderland Football Club took this decision which is aimed at ensuring the safety of their supporters, and it is a decision which we welcome." I hope you don't mind this request and I appreciate your time. Many Thanks http://www.northumbria.police.uk/news_and_events/news/details.asp?id=91651 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
