https://www.thamesvalley.police.uk/news ... f-city-fc/

Thames Valley Police will undertake a highly visible and robust policing operation for the match between Reading Football Club and Cardiff City Football Club on Saturday, 18 April.

Section 35 orders will be enacted as a preventative measure to help ensure the safety of fans and local communities in the area.

Section 35 dispersal powers give police officers and Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs) the authority to disperse individuals and groups who are causing, or are likely to cause, harassment, alarm or distress from a specified locality.

The orders will be in place from 8am until 8pm on Saturday, 18 April, in Reading

In addition, tactics including football spotters, mounted officers, tactical cyclists, police dogs and drones will be deployed to provide reassurance to local communities.

Well talk about overkill it's a wonder they never asked the community of reading to bolt all there doors the "soul crew" will be on the rampage.

Does anyone know why this is happening?

Do they always do it when they have a big away following there?

No they didnt do it for the Lincoln game , im assuming they have intelligence that lots of cardiff fans will travel without tickets , they've already canceled over 50 tickets in the home end with cf post codes

It does seem the Thames Valley Police have someone in charge who loves to push out his troops at any opportunity.

I've been to pretty much every away game this season and tuesday at huddersfield was the first time I have seen actuall disorder this season , every other game has been extremely friendly between home and away fans that I've seen personally

Its obviously the loony in charge of his troops at thames valley who loves deploying and organising when it's not required but when there are serious protests in London or festivals ie Notting hill and crowd control is required there are very few deployed and are either shaking hands or dancing with protesters.

Two tier policing has become the norm.

Double time for Plod to stand around doing nothing and trying to look hard.

We could still wave our walking sticks.

Could this be anything to do with the fact that we could be promoted tomorrow? If that happens I doubt whether the locals would take kindly to our celebrations, and are likely to join in, but not in a welcoming, celebratory mood.

Not really thames valley police have done this to Reading fans before after coming home from away games they stops fans meeting in town after away games when get off train

What if we mask our arrival as BLM or something with a non British flag, just for oil , stop the war , stop the badgers

Ha stop the badgers ,

Save a tree ,eat a beaver,

Preserve wildlife ,pickle a squirrel today.

Explains why we weren't given more tickets. Made absolutely no sense they didn't just give us the whole end as we'd have easily sold it. Not like they'll be getting anything like a full house

Can't be that because bluesince1981 said on this thread that they didn't do this to Lincoln.

I’m predicting heavy handed policing provoking trouble, leading to arrests then they can justify this over kill

TVP have always been twitchy

You are obsessed

According to the reading fans this hasn't happened since they played Oxford at home 2 years ago
