Let’s be honest, its a stupid fucking idea.
Sunday has always been a day of minimal staffing levels. Dragging in hundreds of cops in on their days off at this short notice is going to cost a small fortune
As a punter it’s going to be a weird atmosphere too.
And potentially dangerous if England lose and men who’ve drunk all day have no one else other than each other and early morning commuters to punch.
