Celtic game - strict security measures announced (page 34)

Oh good, an external ticket check, what could possibly go wrong? From City's latest e-mail.

1. To ensure a safe and secure matchday, we have implemented an additional ticket check upon arrival at the Etihad Campus. You will be required to show your Seasoncard, Cityzens Membership card or valid match ticket at the green fence, which is the perimeter line around the campus. Ticket checks will also be carried out for supporter's disembarking the Metrolink Etihad Campus stop. Only supporters with a valid match ticket will be allowed access to the campus and can therefore enter the stadium.

2. All home supporters who are collecting pre-purchased tickets for the Etihad Stadium may do so from the Ticket Collection Unit located on the plaza at the Academy Stadium. We are open from 9am until 8pm on matchday. You can access via the bridge over Alan Turing Way and must provide photo ID when collecting your tickets. Supporters are strongly advised to collect their tickets before 6:30pm.

3. All ticketing enquiries will be dealt with at the Ticket Trailer located on the plaza of the Academy Stadium or by calling Supporter Services on +44 (0)161 444 1894 (option 1, option 3). We will be open from 9am until 8pm on matchday.

4. There will be no tickets sales on Monday 5 December or Tuesday 6 December.

5. Turnstiles will open at 6:15pm, 90-minutes before kick-off.
 
Don't see what good it will do
Plenty of Celtic fans will have tickets in the city end but the ticket check will just check their tickets which will be valid anyway so can't see the point of it

But the tickets may not match the id which would be asked for if there was any suspicion.

I will make a prediction this will be a spectacular cock up !
 
25,000 in the stadium at kickoff.
25.000 outside.
45,000 in the stadium at half time.
5,000 gone home.

Fiasco.
