"Police Leave across the county has been cancelled for the weekend due to the potential heated affair between Rushden & Diamonds and Northampton Town....
The notorious NBF, the Northampton Bike Firm has been organising illegal races with the RRS, the Rushden Raleigh Squad on wasteland close to Higham Ferrers...
The Northampton Bikers have been known to use BMX's which are potentially lethal and the police will be on hand to monitor the 2 groups closely....here is what chief superintendent Saddle has to say..
'yes, 1000 police will be in operation on saturday to make sure the day passes off peacefully, there is just no need for this illegal activity and what seems silly to me is that they wear thear best clothes for it too although the mud guards today are quite unique...this could well be a volatile day and we will do our upmost to make it a safe one...there will be a helicopter in operation to monitor the groups riding around along with 500 police on foot patrol with special razor wire that can be thrown on the floor to puncture tyres...there will also be mounted police from Thames Valley along with 450 specialist police cyclists who are on hand to chase any troublmakers through the alleys of Rushden...strict bike blocks will be set up on bike lanes across the county and along the A45 to stop potention NBF making it to rushden...'
