The Football Association needs to decide how it is going to sort out a crowd situation and assess fines after a disruption led to 11 arrests. Following a match between the Queens Park Rangers versus Millwall, police were called out onto Loftus Road to deal with disorderly citizens. There were also arrests in two pubs prior to the match.
Scotland Yard commented that the police themselves had very little difficulty, as they are always prepared to handle these sorts of situations when football matches are scheduled. Adequate policing and cooperation with the clubs are used to gather intelligence and control possible and actual outbreaks of violence.
The police report continued to offer that one arrest was for drunk and disorderly, one for immigration issues, another arrest for common assault, two arrests were for offences against public order, another two arrests for affray, two more for assault on police, and two people were arrested for possessing offensive weapons. That brings the total of eleven.
The Football Association has not decided whether or not to fine the clubs over the incidents. Earlier this year the FA did level 115,000 pounds against West Ham for incidents involving around 64 people last August.
Of course, neither of the clubs feel they should be assessed fines for the incidents.
