Oh, and here the state pays for it, which is an issue of some conflict. Problematic matches can cost huge sums, and there are calls to make the league pay for it.
Yeah, I can understand that. As far as I know, the clubs pay for police presence on match days, not the state. But because the clubs pay for it, the police tend not to be happy when certain match times are held (from what I gather, the early ones are the worst, because people come to the ground sozzled).
