Apology to the club

Looking through some old programmes and found this

And the teams for those who were wondering

I always felt that if stadiums wanted to deter pitch invaders, why don't they have rope moats?

But now, recently, I'm starting to wonder have I just made up that invention?

Could have swore the new Wembley had one, but googling it nothing happens.

It was like 5 ropes in each 2 metre section, distanced apart so fans had to vault/hurdle each rope, effectively slowing them down so a steward could stop them.

Have I just dreamt that?

New Wembley has one of those long metal grids at the front that I think collapses in the event of a stadium disaster alarm. Probably wouldn't stop 1000 people, but hard to navigate if you're a streaker or trying to get a player's shirt.

Yeah, designed to slow down one or two, but would collapse If a stampede for safety.

If clubs were that concerned about the odd fan occasionally getting on the fan, they'd do more about stopping it.
