@Michael_Benke: It is believed Swindon FC owe Wiltshire Police in the region of £30,000 for the policing of games, stretching back 3 or 4 matches.

@Michael_Benke: A spokesperson for the police confirmed talks were ongoing to get the money.

@RobMurphyitv: @wiltshirepolice warns @Official_STFC it may withdraw policing if the club doesn't pay its bills. @itvwestcountry

@RobMurphyitv: @itvwestcountry @itvmeridian understand the club owes tens of thousands of pounds for policing the last three games.

@RobMurphyitv: @Wiltshirepolice: "Police remain in discussion with Swindon Town Football Club regarding unpaid funds..."

@RobMurphyitv: “...We are hopeful that this situation will be resolved as soon as possible."

Oh deep joy.

So last month then?

They can wait, just like everyone else in business has to.

Surprised we have any coppers in the ground as those we have to pay for.
Outside the ground isnt the clubs duty to pay ( tis how Leeds got over 1mill back from the yorkshire constabulary last season )
Not often you see a copper inside stadia these days - usually stewards only

There were a few games last season when the police seemed to call the artillary out when there was no need to.

What are they expecting at games, murder by numbers? They really are the king of pain. I'd make em do it for peanuts.  Wink

 £7,000 less than the amount we owed the last time we were forced into admin...taking account of inflation, I reckon that's about 10 grand of debt to play with, before the AA is called in.

 Here's hoping for a plum draw tonight....

I guess they don't know how lucky they are, what with not having to wait for 50 years like Jed found some other poor souls did ...
