Speaking about the upcoming England final on Sunday, Chief Inspector Charlotte Bloxham, silver commander for North Yorkshire’s policing response to the EURO’s said:

“It’s a fantastic achievement by the England team to reach their first final of a major competition since 1966″

She says that many England fans have never experienced something like this before and the excitement and anticipation among supporters is understandable.

“As a police force we are well experienced at managing large sporting events which are attended by thousands of people and we have additional resources spread across the county to ensure we can maintain our policing response, should it be needed.

“So we’re not only confident that England can get a win on Sunday night, we’re also confident that we can keep fans, our communities, towns and cities safe too , so that everyone has an enjoyable evening.

Inspector Charlotte Bloxham says: “Throughout the tournament officers have found fans to be in good spirits, with the vast majority behaving well and acting responsibly, with our attendance only being required at a few low-level incidents.

“My message to those who are planning on watching the game on Sunday would be to keep up the good behaviour. Have a great night and take care of yourself and each other.

“Think about how much alcohol you are drinking as kick off is at 8pm, so pace yourself through the day and make sure you alternate your alcoholic drinks with soft drinks or water.

“Please be respectful to those around you and the surroundings you are in. While you may be caught up in England fever, not everyone is a football lover, so please keep that in mind.

“I’d also say that if the result doesn’t go our way, that disappointment is completely understandable and we will all feel it. But violence, anger and hate will not change a football result and behaving  that way will only make the situation worse for you.”
