Cost of Policing Middlesbrough FC

Total cost to Cleveland Police of policing Middlesbrough football club for the 2006/7 and 2007/8 seasons

“The estimated total cost to Cleveland Police of policing the following football club for the 2007/8, and 2006/7 seasons, and the amount recovered from the club towards the total policing costs, broken down by football season.”
And your subsequent clarification:
“..what I am looking for is the cost of policing the regular seasons games alone, not cup runs, testimonials etc …”

I have been able to have recovered the following figures:

2007/08 season. Cost to Police - £450,819.04 – Gross amount re-charged to MFC £148,131.09

2006/07 season. Cost to Police - £571,566.75 – Gross amount re-charged to MFC £181,472.93

**Please note the charges to the Football Club are based on 5 hours policing inside the Football Ground . The cost to Police is based on policing inside and outside the ground and is based on an 8 hr shift per Officer.
