BNP force match switch

Further evidence has emerged of the BNP’s role in forcing Everton’s home game against Stoke City to be pushed back 24 hours.
Today’s Observer reports that Merseyside Police asked the BNP to re-arrange its proposed activity to avoid a clash with the football but the request was denied. The Police believed that they were unable to cope with both events so was forced to contact the Football Association demanding the game was rescheduled.
The BNP hoped their Liverpool event would raise its profile ahead of the European Elections. It certainly has, but probably not as it hoped. Thousands of Everton fans had already made their travel plans and the club is likely to lose substantial revenue. Everton fans are unlikely to forgive the BNP.

The BNP are about as popular with Evertonians as Norwegian Kopites. God help them if they march when we play at home. We are not The Peoples Club for nothing you know.
