eh? It launches it down often pal. It's also fucking freezing often too.
It was me who mentioned elderly people as you clearly include them in your blanket criticism of people complaining about opening coats etc. I mentioned bad conditions as an example of when I refuse to do as they ask. They just wave me through anyway.
Waste of fucking time all of it. How many times do they check away fans (especially Euro games ) and flares, smoke bombs etc all manage to get in.
As a rule GMP and the City stewards won't challenge the European Ultras and the general European club away fans
GMP walk 1000's of Ultras and European club away fans to the Etihad allowing them to walk along roads, traffic is stopped for them, they are allowed to stop on the roads, to chant, to drum, and to start walking again. Imagine GMP doing that for PL fans. Ha! It would never happen.
The gates around the South stand are closed, City fans are either kept in or locked out when the Ultras and European away fans walk past.
When the Ultras do get flares in, which they do quite often, they often hide them in their underwear, in their socks, or in a place on their body where they know they won't be searched by the stewards.
I don't believe the stewards are told to do a thorough search of the Ultras and European away fans because it will cause problems and trouble with the Ultras. And because 1000's them arrive together. GMP and City just want them inside the ground as quickly as possible, even if it means letting them in with flares and smoke bombs.
