Cheers mate, I’ve never bothered looking for one at The Etihad, the one at Maine Road was the actual dedicated Police command centre (along with the then hi-tech camera stuff etc), seems odd they don’t have one specifically at such a modern stadium but hey ho.
They will, it just won’t be facing the pitch, unlike at Maine Road. There’s no good reason it needs to in this day and ago, and one or two I can think of what it’s not. Why do they need to see the pitch, or even the crowd? How can that better inform their decision making?
They leave it to the stewards and security until they can't cope then come steaming in with robo gear on.
Yes probably, but surely a life ban from the Etihad would be a great starting point.
Agreed, but if or when they find the tw@t all the others should not go unpunshed.
Yes, but I'd imagine they won't do that whilst there's an ongoing police investigation
They may be Blues and wanting to watch the match lol.
I’m expect there is one somewhere mate, although it wouldn’t need to be at the stadium tbf. I know the Birmingham Commonwealth Games was all managed from a security perspective at a WMP command centre in Aston, about three miles from the stadium.
I can definitely see your point mate, I think the fact VAR is miles away from the stadium shows it doesn’t need to be there for pin point accuracy, for me though I’d prefer an option of being able to see the wider scope, and being physically there I think it helps you get the mood of the crowd better, but Policing of games has changed massively from back in the day I guess.
And that’s just the players…
Thinking about it, they will probably use a space away from the ground, that is dedicated to big events across the city where they can coordinate with other public agencies such as highways and the ambulance service and be able to follow through on the requirements set down by a SAG chaired by MCC. There’s a lot of planning that goes into these events. Same goes for festivals and concerts. Makes sense they are all commanded from the same place, irrespective of where the events are held within GM. All the technology, communications and command structure will all be housed within that space in order for situations to be responded to as quickly as possible. It won’t be perfect, of course, but it makes absolute sense to operate that way, thinking about it.
And the tv pundits
Sure, but my guess is that they want to nail this bastard

Yes but it will inevitably rely on assistance from Miseryside Police. If or when GMP get a facial image of the bloke who threw it they will have to find his identity and that will need the local police to either know him or circulate it where people may know him.
It is GMP and I believe there are in excess of 400 cameras in the stadium
