Well the wall of stewards at Gate 21 yesterday continues to grow with yellow and blue and red jackets with green jacketed superviser. Question when gate can be opened on the other side where are the stewards? 

Yesterday looked like around 10 police around the control room in JS & WS corner, presume these are paid for by the club, why aren't they standing in Away end? 

Question for club and police is JS stand a Police No Go zone with Millwall fans? 
I'm trying to think if there are other areas parts of UK which are Police No Go zones? 
where they don't go as it may agiate the public or sit and wait 4 minutes before responding? 
worrying response from the police why they stood back from arresting the Millwall fans attacking Charlton fans at Gate 21, would police stand back for 4 minutes when someone is attacked in a street? bank is raided? 
 
No one has been able to answer what 300 police actually did or where they were  at Millwall game or what it cost? How many were just sat in white vans doing nothing? 
I was walking down the hill yesterday before turning off to walk towards the Sam Bartrum gate @ 2.15pm, five white vans with sirens blaring came down the hill in the direction of Royal Oak, was there trouble? 

12 stewards - and all on the Charlton side of the fence, again. That's absolutely pathetic. Are they supposed to be looking intimidating or something? If so, to who - the old folk in the East Stand?

Totally agree. My first reaction was, 'Why are they all facing the wrong way'?

I suppose because the trouble at the millwall game was initiated from our side of the gate.
This is a show of 'look we're doing something'.
The stewards in future for 'risk' games should be some either side of the gate.

Police instead of stewards would be an awful lot better.

But the club seems to not want to pay for police inside the ground .Talking to other fans at the Wednesday game, a few asked why did a group of our fans go down the steps and start the trouble by goading them ,I thought it was only 2 of our fans but apparently it was about 20 

This is my whole point.

Yes - CHAT GPT For the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) in London, the published “Special Police Services” (SPS) hourly charge for a Constable deployed at a commercial event (such as inside a football stadium) from 1 January 2025 is approximately £97.09 per hour.
Versus stewards on £12-14 per hour 

Still whats the price of safety, at these high risk matches surely having police in Away section makes sense 

is anyone closer to finding out what 300 police OUTSIDE did?
