With hotel occupancy in Magalluf and Playa de Palma near 100 per cent during the World Cup - England fans in particular are opting for alternative destinations to Russia to watch the tournament - security is going to be extra tight during all England and Germany matches.
Bars and restaurants have already been informed that they are not going to be permitted to have large TV screens directed to the exterior of their establishments. In short, no football is going to be allowed to be screened in streets and public places in order to reduce the possibility of any large gatherings of fans and potential clashes between rivals supporters.
Hotels have also been instructed to make sure that all big screens are contained on the premises and cannot be viewed from outside.
With concerns over public safety already running high in Magalluf and Playa de Palma, security chiefs are keen to make sure that the World Cup passes off peacefully and that everyone enjoys the tournament in good spirits. There will be an extra police presence on the streets for all England and Germany games and the security forces are also looking at other "high risk" matches.

Why not put the “prostitues “and lucky,lucky men in charge of security during the World Cup.It is obvious they can do whatever they want ,including violence against tourists with no fear of retribution .I will be in Calvia for all the World Cup matches but will not venture to Magaluf,Playa de Palma which is a shame because it is the authorities who are not up to the job and more and more it does not seem they care
White envelopes are also available
Brown envelopes,Carly,brown envelopes.
So extra police can be found to patrol the streets during the World Cup. No extra police available to rid Magaluf of the Mugging Prostitutes!! Makes you wonder!!
