Leeds United Chat • Re: Metropolitan Police Action at Sarah Vigil
Could be wrong but I thought football clubs shouldered the burden of police costs on match day?
Are you forgetting Ken Bates?
The policing of football matches is almost entirely publicly funded. In 2012, Leeds United won a High Court action against West Yorkshire Police, with the judge ruling that the club only had to pay for police inside the ground and on land that it owned or controlled.
