Back now to the story we brought you earlier - the ruling by a High Court judge that Suffolk Constabulary is entitled to recover a £200,000 in costs from Ipswich Town.

The club had argued that it should not have to pay for the part of the bill which covers policing outside the ground on Portman Road and Sir Alf Ramsey Way.

Suffolk Police issued a statement: “The judgement has acknowledged that policing football matches at Portman Road is something which needs to be paid for fairly and sensibly with appropriate policing costs being recovered.

"We will continue to work with the Safety Advisory Group to provide advice and allow the chair to determine how the club meets it obligation to achieve a Safety Certificate. 

"We will vigorously defend any appeal, on behalf of the Suffolk tax payer.”
