“ CARDIFF CITY’S BIG DERBY MATCH MOVED AGAIN “

Cardiff City’s away Sky Bet Championship fixture at Bristol City has been moved back to its original date of Saturday November 4th with a 12 noon kick-off.

The fixture had originally been selected for live TV coverage by Sky Sports on Saturday November 4th at 5.30pm but was subsequently scheduled to take place on Friday November 3rd at 7.45pm after a Police representative indicated Friday was preferable to Saturday.

Both Clubs fully supported this decision and were working with Avon and Somerset Police and the local Safety Advisory Group (SAG) on a number of additional measures as a result of there being an acceptance that this fixture was not completely without the risk of disorder.

The measures proposed by the Clubs included a reduction in the number of tickets being made available for away supporters, Cardiff City assisting with aspects of the stewarding operation and a review of how visiting fans would be transported to and from Ashton Gate to reduce the potential for disorder.

EFL Chief Executive, Shaun Harvey, said: “Despite achieving an agreement in principle, Avon and Somerset Police subsequently made a number of representations to the Safety Advisory Group and it became clear that they were not prepared to provide the police resources they felt were necessary away from Ashton Gate itself to prevent any possible disorder. In any event, Bristol City had agreed to meet the costs of the Police deployed at the stadium.

“The safety of spectators at EFL matches will always be our primary consideration when scheduling fixtures, yet we are disappointed at today’s developments and will be seeking a meeting with Avon and Somerset Police force in relation to this matter at the earliest possible opportunity, as the Clubs that fall within that area should not be disadvantaged.”

Sounds like the police have screwed this up good and proper, and it’s the two clubs and sets of fans that have to suffer.

Shambles by Avon and Somerset Police.

Gutted day of my wedding,so I 'll miss the match now,was planning going on the Friday,one last night of freedom and a few pints

No they’ve chosen another match for the Friday night now.

that sounds to me that had it remained on a Friday night it would be reduced away allocation and a bubble.

You couldn't make this up, what an absolute shambles.

I reckon they got wind of 20000 Cardiff fans turning up without tickets lol.

Shambles by Avon and Somerset Police.

a police force not fit for purpose..

Had a look at the Wurzels forum, they ain't to happy about it either. "Satday kickorf do roight interferez with moi zoider pressing", said one of the scruffy backwater scarecows before swapping his head back to a turnip.

Fucked all my plans right up

Football could do without agents, Sky tv and the police. It would be so much better.
