Response from QPR FC re Millwall "events"

[oldhoop]

Here is the response from Phillip Lawrence received this morning re my letter to him regarding the lack of security and forethought on Tuesday.

Dear Frank

Thank you for your correspondence I am sorry that I cannot reply at this time to the specifics. All the points made by yourself and others have been noted and will be included in an ongoing review. The Club has issued the following statement:

In other words..................................... nothing and is more of a response to the Football League looking into events.

The police will say its up to QPR and QPR will say on police advice etc, etc.

I suggest you reply saying you understand but asking for a fulsome reply when the review is concluded. And asking for a clue when that might be.

That shouldn't be an end to the correspondence.

Ask who decided on letting the Millwall fans out and if it was seen as no big concern, why was there such a massive police presence, including riot police, dozens of vans and dogs and a helicopter. These two points do not add up.
