Bristol Rovers coach Chris Hargreaves on tomorrow’s game.
Well it is. The club suggested it, tvp supported it
Shouldn’t believe everything you hear when it comes to this kind of thing. Maybe our policeman friend who comes on here can confirm. After what happened in Bristol, this was always going to be an early kick off and tvp were very much angling for this ko time.
It goes down as a club request, but it's heavily influenced by TVP. When you have the police breathing down your necks wanting an early kick off, the club are hardly going to reject it. The police force is probably one you want to keep on your side...I’m police liaison for Oxvox. So I do tend to believe what I hear as I’m a little closer to it Andy. Like I said this was arranged way before the away fixture in Bristol

Not in this case mate.
Wrong again.Going to be a case of agreeing to disagree but pressure was and always is applied by tvp. Just like it’ll be them deciding how forced are deployed inside the stadium and how they also (along with the Oufc safety setup) have had issues with senior staff at the club over lots of unusual ticket transfers to the centre sections of the north stand.
Wrong. Not our decision and I have the recording to prove it.I just phoned up the ticket office as I wanted to move a couple of STs in the SSL to the NS for this game. They refused because the police told them not to allow any seat changes for this game. However you allowed to buy a brand new ticket in the NS. Just can't move your existing ST seat there..
Anyway 1400 Rovers fans next to the family section should work well lol.

Ok fair enough u obviously know more than me being on the safety group and police liaison. I’ll just ask you next time it will save me hours [emoji6]
Interesting. They were quick to say that the Police weren't allowing it. Why would they lie? (Genuine Question).
Didn’t say I knew more David, I’m merely disagreeing with you as I’m pretty sure of my info (as proven down the thread by Oxford not allowing a ticket exchange) .
Out of interest, who will decide if the police are required inside the stadium. The experienced oxford safety team who’ll have their own stewards on duty or the police? Also, who has decided that the Sarge’s fav, the divide between the north stand and car park end will be in operation? Police or Oxford?
Can’t answer for them I’m afraid as I don’t know. But 100% not our decision.Interesting. They were quick to say that the Police weren't allowing it. Why would they lie? (Genuine Question).
I'll agree to disagree based on my information too mate!Not in this case mate.
