Beyond a joke until the bomb goes off. Get with the times, get there early or expect to miss the start. Unbelievable you think like that.

If you really think waving a wand would stop a terrorist then unbelievable you think like that.

You obviously have no idea what the wand does or how it works. Perhaps if you Google it sometime you might be little better informed. Getting tired of all these complaints about security. Live with it, get there on time.

Let's see whether there are any flares in the Napoli end before judging the efficacy of the wands.

FFS security is a bit more than some Italian waving a flare.

I think the point probabley is that there will be loads and loads of flares going off in the Napoli end - not the soft smoke ones.
The security imo is a token gesture with most stewards merely going through the motions. I agree security is defo needed - but city need to take it more seriously.

So using wands to look for concealed weapons and searching all bags for weapons and bombs is not taking it seriously?

I think the point he's trying to make is that these wands could miss flares Vs Napoli and so they could miss bombs too?

At least I think thats what they mean.

If that is the case he obviously doesn't know how bombs are made. To be effective they have to be a bit bigger than a flare. Even a stick of explosive will only create minimal damage, not if you are close to it of course, but still small beer compared to what is wanted by terrorists. The Manchester Arena bomb was packed in a rucksack. No secret that it was an explosive material packed around with what is euphemistically called 'shipyard confetti' in other words nails, nuts and bolts etc. Designed to cause maximum destruction. Packed into rucksack etc.

So we have at the Etihad wands to find weapons such as large knives and guns and bag searches for weapons anf bombs. These wands make a considerable noise when they find these items so not easily missed.

So not sure what more can be done.

Entrances K1 and K2 yesterday about 25 minutes before kickoff.
Hundreds, possibly a couple of thousand, people in a tight space surrounded by high fences and the stadium itself.
To get to this area, no security checks were in place, which means a suicide bomber could have walked up and repeated the arena massacre.
The club is not protecting us, it's endangering us.

And that is the point I have been making to the club for a long time now. If only more people would complete the feedback of the Contact Us page of the website. Link to this page is at the bottom of the main page. The more people fill it in the sooner things will happen hopefully.
