I've made a FOI request to Nottinghamshire County Council for any SAG minutes involving the club in the last 24 months. They have 20 days to respond. I'll update when/if I get a reply.
The link to the request is here if anyone wants to keep an eye on it

Isn't our local MP, Two-Jobs Bradley, also the head of Notts County Council? It'll be interesting to see the response. Of course, if the Council were implicit in the decision to "request" the game be played behind closed doors then our towns own MP has played his part.

But I can guarantee that Notts Police did not tell MTFC they had to play behind closed doors....they have no authority to do that.
What I imagine happened was that NP told MTFC that the game would have to be a Policed fixture (The disorder last time v SUFC shows this and the potential repercussions).
MTFC then decided they wouldn't pay, so had no fans in to watch a game that would have potentially only had 3-4k in too watch.....
NCFC would happily have swallowed the Policing bill for last night as they knew they would get 12-15k

Say there were 50 of them for example - say they worked 5 hours - that still comes in at £7,300 odd
The argument to say mansfield agreed to it looks clearly inaccurate, and in fairness rather basic.

Hardly a practice game. The chance to see a championship side and to view our new players. I wonder if the County v Forest game was seen as a practice game or a prestige game by County fans ?I am Spartacus wrote:Johnny H wrote:I no longer have any involvement with Policing football matches within Notts......5th season coming up !!

Well said Johnny, this is the reasoning behind it in a nutshell. Police would have informed the club based upon the intelligence at the time. We and Sheffield Utd have history, that given the travel time, is more than likely to be repeated. Why burden the club with the expense of policing the ground, the tax payer with the cost of policing the town and surrounding area for a friendly? A few years ago we had a game against Villa cancelled for the same reason.
The same people on here complaining about a practice game, which for all intents as purposes it is, being played behind closed doors are the same ones that would moan about over policing in the town and wasting taxpayers money if the day was incident free or complaining they had to cower in a shop doorway as the police did nothing whilst the game played on Notts Road was BBC vs MSE.
So you didn’t get to watch a practice game, the club has loads of behind closed doors game all season. Can’t hear you moaning about them (for your information most of them are terrible to watch as I have officiated some).
Enjoy the game Saturday, it’s when proper football starts and then you will, hopefully not this season, have some real substance to your moaning.
