At the Everton game I showed them my ID with photo. Yes they didn't ask for it but I'd gone to the trouble of taking it so I was going to show it!! :-)
However, reading the posts here I'm just wondering if some of the stewards were a little 'intimidated/overwhelmed' by the number of people queuing and were letting things go?
Don't dismiss that theory out of hand. Remember they had not, for 15 months or so, had crowds back and they could have thought it might get out of hand if they started asking for stuff we hadn't got ready in our hands.
I remember before lockdown that people in the queues for the 'wand' were still having to be asked to take things out of their pockets, take their hats off, queue in the bag queue if you have a bag etc., and we had been searched for a long time by then. :-)
Just a neutral observation?
