It’s accurate I was talking to a brewery regional manager the other day and he said SWP have spoken with him about this. Apparently some senior Birmingham fan died the other week and they want to take over a pub as a mark of “respect” to him. Better for the police to get it out there for many reasons, including letting the visiting fans know they know about their plans
