No.
Probably because the Newcastle fans were so embarrassed they all went home quickly though.

I did wonder that! They were too busy throwing their season tickets at Pardew and Ashley to get into a fight.

Perhaps years back, I've been to Leeds the last 3 seasons & went in a few pubs up there with them and by and large they aren't half as bad as people make out, they are obsessed with being where 'they belong' but if you ignore that the vast majority are a decent lot. With any game there's a risk of it ending in trouble but I think nowadays most of the knobs who cause trouble aren't 'firms' like the old days just drunk idiots.
Just my opinion obviously, football violence is extremely rare nowadays from what I've seen, most I've seen is a few scuffles between men under the influence who think they can take on entire armies.
One day I hope the Albion announce 'Saturday was a police free day'.
Clearly it would be madness to reference it before the game.
Saturday would have been an ideal game to keep the police sat in a wagon elsewhere (but nearby!!)

3 arrests at Swansea Vs Cardiff and that was a 5.30pm kick-off!
Was stunned when I saw the kick-off time that late, but fair play to the supporters of both clubs.

Newcastle vs Sunderland had a 12.45 KO
Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!
Primary data is fact
I'd be more impressed if the thread title had read "Burnley refuse TV pressure and keep Leeds Game at 3pm"
I think they couldn't take the risk. The last time Doncaster came to the amex, there was that crime of the century on Billy Sharp. The police needed to be on hand just in case anyone tried to finish the job they started last time. Lives were at stake, man, it would have been reprehensible to leave the Police off-site.

Be realistic! Although I'm with you in spirit.

I've heard the police got wind that there was going to be another assasination attempt in the 90th minute so he was dragged off early.

Ah is it the return match they are trying to keep at 3pm then?

They have already played each other twice this season.
