You and the missus should get Public Enemy style β€œf**k The Police” matching jumpers to wear on Saturday.
I, like so many of a certain generation, had poor experiences at the hands of the police, in particular TVP. Mrs L had professional dealings, good and not so good. Both of us were treated to the Bedfordshire Constabulary, twice, at Luton and put in a complaint. And yet, still, I usually try to make a point of thanking them at away matches for looking after us. It usually appears to be welcomed and an exchange of smiles goes a long way.
 
You know, and they know what your average spotty teenage pavement dancer looks like. They know who they’re looking for and I’d guess you don’t fit the profile. Not difficult is it…
Hopefully our lack of direct rivalry with them over the last couple of decades will make for fewer teenage pavement dancers.
 
Who said anything anti? I have merely pointed out that there will be a large and visible police presence at the game and, throughout Oxford. That TVP are conducting this as though they are anticipating serious trouble.
I don't personally have an issue with a police presence at games however, if they consider this to be an event that requires dogs, drones, horses and a large exclusion zone with additional powers allowing them the opportunity to stop and search anyone, anywhere between the town centre and Grenoble road without any suspicion at all, then I find that somewhat intimidating.

Okay, well it sounded as though you were against the level of Police measures being taken.

Let's just hope that everything goes off relatively smoothly for the majority of us going about our normal business, and any pockets of trouble are contained without any intimidation to others.
 
quick heads up ( whether itll be the same tomorrow morning though I don't know) heading south on the ring road , its down to one lane from where the tesco/ watlington road roundabout joins to littlemore/ rosehill roundabout - appears to be some kind of works going on on the corner of sandy lane

Although there's going to be a massive presence from TVP , I doubt if any of the tooled up and armoured up robocops will be dispatched on point duty, despite there likely to be serious traffic issues pre and post match
