What exactly will the additional polucing requirements be on a Tuesday and Wednesday evrning because the Queen has died, versus if she hadn't. I can understand on day of funeral all police leave being cancelled but this Tuesday/Wednesday I dont see the issue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskbankloyal 19,446 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 I’ll be very surprised if this game goes ahead at Ibrox. UEFA will insist it goes ahead but where is anyones guess Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The police operation will be insane Sorry, don't buy that. It will require security around her resting place but not sure what more it will be required. That will not be general police, it will be royal security. Police Scotland involved in the 3 way discussion with Club and UEFA. This is normal practice. It is more likely the police want input into when the game will be played if deferred from Tuesday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Risk of a terror attack will be higher when a head of state dies, the country will be seen as a bigger target and a large football match will be seen as a soft target needing extra security Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be thousands going to Edinburgh to pay respects. They've already announced multiple street closures. Police presence will be significant.

dummiesoot 16,119 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 My own view is cancellation this weekend is correct, no question. But 3 hours ago our King, addressed the world, one day after his mother passed away. Unfortunately life goes on, so should football.

The news stated that you will have folk from all over the planet flocking to the country over the next ten days to pay their respect and basically witness a major historical moment of our times. many have mentioned heightened terror alert that brings , also Napoli fans have quite a reputation so no doubt a major police operation was already in place for getting them to and from the ground . The police will be reviewing just how stretched they are to probably successfully be able to keep that side in order on top of everything else that will be going on that day HG5 and Hadron Collider 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
