Queues

Buses are sorted. Last season it was quicker walking than getting the bus, and I'd only get the bus if it was raining. This season traffic has disappeared.
 
Why not just have the stewards with the wands stood at the gates to the grounds of the stadium instead of at the turnstiles? They do it at the Nou Camp and it's much quicker
 
Not a problem at South Stand M1 yesterday. A female steward was there for women and everyone seemed to be processed professionally.

I was the first into the ground. Just me. Nobody else. No queue. Once again I had my metal point and shoot camera in my pocket. Been in town. Wanded. No beep! Talking to the Showsec guy as well. No search. Not told to put any of my belongings on the table. Even had a cake in my pocket under my mobile phone. Got in with that. All in all it was the least hassle search I've ever had a City. Imagine if I was a security accessor on the QT.

I saw another Showsec guy at another entrance complaining that his wand was beeping all the time even though he was only moving it up and down his arm.

Its a farce....total sham. Having been 'wanded' by the security expert on a zero hours couldn't give a shit contract I then said to him do you want to check my rucksack i.e that big fucking black thing on my back and he said he thought the other person doing the wanding had done this... I then went through the turnstile with my 12 year old sons ST card on purpose and gave him mine to go through instead...not a problem thank you very much. From my work and professional experience wandings are about as effective as a security cordon around grannies when Rooney is around...

@1961_vintage sometimes yes, sometimes no! They did a quick pat down on me yesterday and then told me to go in even though I was carrying a jacket and could have had anything in the pockets! No wand this match though, although they normally have the wands on!!

Cheers Eccles. I was wandering how some of our elder statesmen, former players and various visiting dignitaries felt about being checked in this way.

Plus we could have a very special "wand" for a certain Danny Mills!

Oh I doubt they'd dare to have them for the big wigs, just us plebs! Although I've never actually seen whether they do or not, too busy queuing at P1 to get in!! :-)

I could suggest where to put the wand for Mills though!!!
 
Went in the "bag queue" today as it was a lot shorter than the other queues at B1 and B2 - however they never bothered to look in my wife's rucksack even though she held it open for them!! All for show I'm afraid, nothing to do with real security
 
One of the wanders asked the person in front of me. Has your bag already been searched. Funnily enough they replied yes! No search was done.all show and a complete waste of time and money along with a false sense of security.

Whilst on a whinge fest I enquires how much to upgrade a child's family stand ticket on Tuesday v wba.£31.42p so that's one seat that will left empty.
 
I beeped on the search today. The guy asked me what was in my pocket. I said coins. He said oh that's fine then. Luckily my weapons of mass destruction were in my other pocket or he might have stopped me to check. Phew
 
What were them dogs sniffing around for outside the away end ( didn't see any others) was they for explosives ? Or drugs ? I bet a few of our marching powder friends were sweating going in ;-)

Most away ends have sniffer dogs somewhere around - usually to sniff out drugs
