Rolfe predicts a riot!

Police constable Andrew Rolfe has issued a blunt warning to trouble makers hoping to spoil Sunday afternoons highly anticipated local derby game between Welton FC and Welton S&SC reserves.

“If you don’t have a ticket don’t bother coming, stay at home and watch it on the tele.”

The most anticipated game of the season has had to be put back to a half past 1 kick off as the police fear their could be crowd trouble because Sports and Social fans will come straight from Sakura to Manor Park.

Weltons police resources are at full stretch on Sunday because of the re scheduling of the Socialites first teams Ron Eaglen Cup match against CW Golden Eagle.

“We are struggling to cope” admitted Rolfe.

“We had hoped that this situation would never happen. When the Sports and Social first team have a game we are always busy with crowd control measures because of the sheer volume of people flocking to Social Park.”

“but to have a Welton derby the same day has really strained resources.”

Sundays Jock Mitchell trophy meeting between the two Welton sides will be the first Welton derby in the history of Sunday league football and Andy Rolfe admits that it is the worst possible fixture that could have been drawn out of the hat.

“We have got a lot of problems with the reserves home fixtures this season because they are playing teams like the Ivy tavern who bring their own brand of trouble, but when the draw was made for Welton v Welton I could of cried.”

“Usually we don’t bother policing Welton FC games because they are so rubbish no one bothers coming to watch them but we are expecting the world and his wife at manor park on Sunday.”

“we advised that the fixture be put back to an afternoon kick off because the first teams supporters safety is our priority and when ever Welton S&SC meet any team from the bottom end of the high street the tension between rival fans is massive.”

“Hopefully that game will go without incident on the terraces and the Eagle fans will disappear back to their dinghy pub with their tails between their legs and not stick around for the derby in the afternoon.”

The Welton derby has extra tension between the two teams because of the Trent Valley connection between the two sides. Social reserves stars such as Gary “Geezer” Evans, Alexander Neville Munn, Rob Brothwell and Dan Carlile who are all former Trent Valley players will square off against former team mates Adam “Winny” Winfield and Simon Gates and Social player of the season candidate Munn would love to put one over on his former team mates.

“All I want for Christmas is to beat those two!”

“We know that if we lose this match we will be the laughing stock of the village and that is something we are desperate to avoid.”

Whatever the outcome of Sundays double headed cup bonanza in Welton it is sure to be a day to remember both on and off the pitch and hopefully both Social teams will continue on their marches to Sincil Bank.
