I fully agree with your reader that the police did a very good job last Sunday after the football match, but should we not be ashamed that in a civilised country we need the police to control people who after all have only been to a game?

On leaving Swindon station last Sunday I felt the number of police, horses and dogs there was a considerable cost to taxpayers money that could have been well spent in other directions.
