Fair point, I wouldnt be surprised somepoint in the future if there is a perimeter fence put up with searches done before entry into the perimeter and city square. For those saying the searches are ineffective, thats true too but the conclusion there would be more effective searches, not scrapping them and no queues.
A few matches at the end of last season and this season they have had stewards stood at the green gate by city circle, and at the bottom of Joe Mercer Way checking bags.
May do if there actually switched on !!!!Do the wands ever bleep or detect anything?

The whole thing is a joke and I don't see the purpose, anyone with nefarious intent would laugh at it. The wands will detect metal but modern explosives be detected? The lack of 100% checks is just laughable, as is allowing items such as flasks which could contain liquids that could be mixed with others carried by an accomplice then left in a bag on the crowded concourse. How much training have the operatives had are they security cleared? I doubt it, therefore putting one in place who would let an accomplice in would be easy. If the club were serious about this then it would require airport type security checks with properly trained cleared staff, at the moment it's just a obstruction to entering the stadium in an efficient way. Problem they now have is if they stop it and an incident occurs.
God forbid it's true, but Showsec tell their stewards that there is a possible pre-match strike by a terroist, and they think OK, I'll still man the turnstile and check the fans just in-case I can stop a terroist. No chance! If that was any sensible person, you would walk straight out and hand in your yellow Showsec jacket. Whatever is going on is a joke, it isn't organized, and it's an iconvienience, and it's putting 100's of City fans at risk while queuing up outside the ground. But seeing as it's been going on all season, regardless of the threads on here, it seem's City aren't arsed. And if they were, they would at least explain why this is happening.
Just causing un-necessary delays and congestion.
If it is for security measures, at least prepare for each and every turnstile and staff it correctly. Having one person half hearted searching, creating a queue when there are multiple turnstiles available is poor planning.

^ No sexist shite today - the blokes were using the wand on women at B1 and B2, inc the highly threatening 74 year old woman and the 6 year old girl a few in front of her! So yeah, they now seem to be doing the "do them all" approach.
But as for all the threads on here about searches the past few months - i remember reading someone boast they got their hip flask in under their hat... and what happens today - city get people to take their hats off on the way in!
In other words - be careful what you boast about, walls have ears (or whatever the modern snooping phrase is!)
(and i still think most of the searching is to take that packet of crisps off people so they have to pay inside. You can't exactly turn crisp packet or a choccie bar into a bomb eh.. so why tables full of confiscated ones outside this season? We're not at the opera..! Oh dog shit alley where have you gone)
