I'm sure they would like more police colleagues so they can manage services better. If they've all had leave cancelled anyway, it suggests they are operating on a shoestring workforce and have not been able to make arrangements to borrow officers from other forces, probably due to budget constraints. Assumedly Wolves would pay for policing but the police just cannot cover it all.

Not gonna get much sympathy for WMP on here or the police as a whole for that matter

I wasn't giving them sympathy, just saying that if they've had numbers slashed they can no longer do the job, and if they can't do the job then we can't host the matches.
In days gone by we used to borrow those Welsh police with batons to supplement WMP who acted like some sort of private militia.

As I get older I find myself having more sympathy. It's a pretty thankless job and a tough one. They do have some nobheads in their ranks though: I remember at Vale away for a friendly a few years back one of the local coppers flicking the Vs at us on the bus, then when someone reacted they got pushed into their seat by another copper. And away at Blues when they formed a line halfway down the road before evaporating then were surprised it kicked off all over the place.

You're right about some nobheads in their ranks.

Sporting Lisbon away would be great...the away end isn't very big....I've been in it....

We played Sporting (1-5) in a friendly exactly 20 years ago at their training ground off Lisbon, accessed by a ferry. About 30 of us and 7 Portuguese plus a dog for them, far from a big draw in those days

Wolves - Thrashed 5-1

Wolves Tonight have been thrashed 5-1 by Sporting Lisbon in a friendly which has left Wolves` fans feeling dissapointed. If you are having a g | Wolves : Unofficial Wolves news, views and message boards.
