Nah. Just wave your bottle of water in the air when you get in, and that will take their minds off it.

ah yeah loose lips sink ships and snitches get stitches on here innit! hahaha amongst the really hard uns anyhow eh
 
It may be that they turn a blind eye to it on purpose.

Once the game is sold out, Wembley PLC have maximised their profits on the seats and can't make any more.

If a jibber gets in, he might spend money at the concessions rather than outside outlets - extra profit!

It might also suit the Police to get stragglers inside, rather than have them marauding around outside the ground.

Story re printed over a full page in The Sunday Mirror today.

If those quotes are from an actual City fan and not the work of a journalist, he wants to have a word with himself. Grassing twat. Has probably helped to ensure no blues without tickets are going to get in to the final.

I definitely saw someone post a similar story on here last week, how'd they done it as an experiment with a ticket in their pocket. May have been on another thread because it isn't on this one,

Although mullock is a blue so wouldn't find it too hard to get someone to quote. Either way I strongly suggest that people's chances of jibbing into the final are reduced now. The only positive point is that wembley clearly prioritise the bag searches because of the terrorist threat which they cannot ignore. So to do anything about this they'd have to increase the steward numbers significantly.

Wembley 'jibbing' scandal: Fans are sneaking in through lax security turnstiles without paying
20 Apr 2013 22:30
'There are hundreds of threads on fans’ forums about how ticketless supporters got into Wembley for the FA Cup Final' claims City fan

Ticketless fans are exploiting lax security arrangements at Wembley to sneak into the stadium for showpiece matches.

Supporters have been taking advantage of self-service turnstiles that are big enough to allow two people to pass through using a single ticket.

The ruse – known among fans as “jibbing” – raises serious questions about security at the £800million stadium scheduled to host the Champions League Final, FA Cup Final and the divisional play-offs next month, as well as England’s friendly international with the Republic of Ireland.

The dangers created by ticketless supporters sneaking into the ­stadium and creating potential over-crowding problems should alarm both UEFA and the FA.

Last night, a Wembley ­spokesman insisted there were NO loopholes in the stadium’s security procedures.

Yet, a Manchester City fan, who attended last week’s FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea, said: “I couldn’t believe how easy it was. I’d seen stories on a couple of websites about how loads of fans had jibbed into ­Wembley and I thought it couldn’t be true.

“I actually had a ticket for the game against Chelsea. But, as I approached ­turnstile N, I told my wife to go in first. As she put her ticket into the machine at the turnstile, I moved in very close to her and there was plenty of room for us to both push through to get into the stadium.

“I had my ticket in my pocket, in case we were stopped. But the steward inside the turnstile was four or five metres away and was occupied, performing body searches on other fans to make sure they weren’t bringing any banned items into the stadium.

“My wife’s bag was checked and I was given a token pat-down. There were more stewards at the top of the steps leading from the ­concourse into the stadium, but they were more worried about making sure that fans were not carrying any alcohol from the bar rather than whether everyone had a ticket. If I hadn’t done it myself, I wouldn’t have ­believed how easy it was.”

Wembley has an official capacity of 90,000 seats. The stadium is rarely full and, because many fans stand throughout matches, the ticketless find it easy to blend in.

The City fan added: “It is possible for two people to squeeze themselves on to one of the seats. I actually had a spare ticket last Sunday and sold it to a friend before the game.

“When we were next to each other in the stadium, he told me he’d seen for himself how easy it was to beat the security. He planned to jib the Final if he couldn’t get a ticket.

“There are hundreds of threads on fans’ forums about how ticketless supporters got into Wembley for the FA Cup Final in 2011 and the Barcelona-Manchester United ­Champions League Final a few weeks later.

“Most of the stewards we saw were no older than 18 or 19 and it would have been a real problem for them trying to stop people from going in even if they spotted the scam.”

An FA spokesman insisted: “The stadium employs a comprehensive system that stops people from illegally entering the stadium.

“This process includes barriers, which are full height and cannot be jumped. In ­addition, every bank of turnstiles has a dedicated ­security search steward, who searches each spectator entering the stadium, but also ­additional security that monitors each patron as they enter the stadium.

“We are confident with the measures we have in place for fans entering and exiting the stadium. Wembley would also stress any attempt to enter the stadium without a ticket is an ­illegal act and could result in prosecution.”

the last few lines from the FA Spokesman are hillarious. Talk about not having a clue. Ive been to wembley 3 times with city in the last few years. always had a ticket, but In 2011 im sure the turnstiles were bigger, so it was very easy for 2 people to get through. And lots did.... This time round they seemed smaller the turnstiles (Updated/changed?), but as long as you both werent huge, you could just about get through...

also, ive never been searched when goin in the ground. the Stewards are only a handfull, and if you go in 20/30 mins before kickoff, there are too many people for them to search everyone... We went in at Entrance K for the Chelsea Semi, which had a escalator behind it so only limited space. If they searched everyone there'd be a delay/crushing, so they have no option but to carry our searches on token individuals...

think there maybe increased emphasis on this for the final though, with it making the national press....
