They got the league allocation. The only alternative would have been to put them in the Upper North. The Stripey Filth in the FA Cup game chucked loads down so it wouldn't have worked. There's no reason why we couldn't have all the Railway End and be adequately policed.

WEst Mids Police's way of coping with any potential problem is by stopping people going. Most football matches they have bugger all to do and when a game comes along that might create a little bit more work for them this is how they avoid it.If they just acted and dealt with people who stepped out of line when it happened instead of just releasing images 6 months later for the public could do their work for them, maybe good law abiding fans could watch football when they want to.They've already spoilt this fixture by insisting on ridiculous Sunday lunchtime kick-offs, now they want to stop people going as well.Police forces up and down the country can cope with derbies, ours can't. And don't try and tell me ours is any worse than others, that's crap.

Isn't it 10% for both cups?We had the whole of the Railway for that midweek cup game in 2010 and it all kicked off at the end so can understand why WMP get nervous but usually lunchtimes a bit easier to control.
Is this game on tv?
