Why not put on buses instead of treating away fans like criminals?

Published Date: 02 October 2008
IT'S Saturday, home match day for Doncaster Rovers, and once again the farce proceeds. First of all the area around the Keepmoat Stadium, Asda and the Dome is covered in cars.
Come 5pm, it is impossible to move from the Asda car park (if you are foolish enough to want to shop at this time). Traffic is snarled up.

What do the police do? Well, use about 50 officers, police horses, and vans to march about 50-100 away supporters from the train station down to the stadium, like criminals.

Then, after the match, march them back again. The resulting traffic chaos is awful. Doncaster becomes a no-go area.

Surely in this day and age a few buses could be provided? This is a total waste of resources and the police could be put to better use directing traffic. It's time this matter was looked into.
