London on high security alert0

I did wonder why there was a heavy police presence1

The police horses don't mean much. The police like to use football matches to give the horses experience and exercise, even when they are not needed. It also gives the street cleaners something to do afterwards . . .0

The `Cleaning supervisor' code was given out twice before the game and all the fire doors closed.0

Add to this the "unprecedented system failure" of the air traffic control system yesterday, and cops with machine guns in the Trafalgar Square area on Thursday night.
Sounds like UK on high alert as HartleyPete says.1 -
Lots of rough looking rockabilly types in the Lib : - )
I'd guess the bag searches were to do with the idiot throwing the smoke bomb.
But it might just have been a routine test day.2 -
The Blackpool firm is hard as rock.8

Maybe they knew how bad we were going to play ? Could have caused a riot !

I had wondered if it was because Millwall had the afternoon free after playing on Friday evening? It certainly seemed out of proportion to the opposition, who were of Lower West stand levels of intimidation :-)
Don't we get charged by the police, so that if they up their presence, it costs us more?Airman Brown said:The police horses don't mean much.

UK is on a high state of alert. The terrorist threat level is currently at 'Severe', the 4th highest out of five, defining an attack is highly likely.Valiantphil said:Add to this the "unprecedented system failure" of the air traffic control system yesterday, and cops with machine guns in the Trafalgar Square area on Thursday night.

Sadly, London + events attracting large (relatively!) crowds are an attractive target.

But interestingly, for the first time I can remember, no security in the shop. (Or at least none that I could see).
I know us Addicks are a decent, law-abiding bunch but surprising to my mind.0 -

That was Ben Haim's job but he found himself wandering up Harvey Gardens hoping Bikey would cover it for himFortune 82nd Minute said:But interestingly, for the first time I can remember, no security in the shop. (Or at least none that I could see).

Traditionally the club gets charged for police inside the ground. If Charlton add gratuitous fixtures - friendlies - the police are able to make full cost recovery, which is the main reason we never play teams that would bring significant support.killerandflash said:I had wondered if it was because Millwall had the afternoon free after playing on Friday evening?

So no, Charlton wouldn't pay for the cavalry as far as I'm aware. Unless they are called into the stadium, presumably. I'm sure the club pays - through the various planning agreements - to clear up what they leave behind, though!1 -
I wonder if there is any link with todays events in Sidney, Ghent, and even the track issue at Cannon street, in the wake of the CIA torture report.0
