Security at the Etihad

The last thing you want is a queue for a suicide bomb!
Best to watch folks as they approach and take out prime suspects in the open.
That said my pockets are always so full of crap I'm bound to look more bulky than I should be - and I'm fat enough as it is.

I went to see the Yankees a few years back and had a backpack with me as I'd been out all day.
I wasn't allowed in with it and had to queue up to pay for it to be looked after across the street and then queue up with thousands of others after the game to pick it up again, it was near to midnight when I finally got it.
I think I was then in more danger walking the empty streets of New York.

I also don't want the 'full' search that I got in Ajax, Barcelona and Sevilla for just watching my football team, if that had happened anywhere else it would either be sexual assault or it'd cost me a fucking packet!

The terrorists want us to live constantly in fear and for our lives to be disrupted as much as possible. No going for a drink before the game as you'd have to there hours earlier and nothing after the game when the bars and pubs will be shutting up early to avoid trouble.

No thanks.
It's up to all of us to be vigilant at all times and to report shit that you see.

Fair enough. .I would rather have it beefed up.

Give all the ball boys guns I say

Fuck me they are that slow we'd all be dead before they got it out.

imagine if someone lets off firecrackers at half time in the concourses , mass panic :)

Hilarious.

However, you'd get very poor odds that some idiot will let off a firework or two outside the ground on Saturday.

You are probably right.

I'd rather get blown up at City stadium in a good mood doing something I enjoy than Sat in a hospice rotting away with dementia

Can I hear option C before I make my decision? :-/

You can take as much care as you possibly can but it will do nothing to avoid being blown up by some **** with a suicide vest on.

You've just got to get on with life exactly how you usually would. Do exactly what you always do and enjoy yourself as much as possible. That is how to deal with a terror threat not being careful (whatever that means) and living in fear.

Many of the conflicts in the muslim world seem increasingly to be fuelled by tensions between Sunnis and Shia muslims. I don't know which branch of Islam the Sheikh follows, but whichever it is there will be some crackpot groups who regard him as an enemy.

But its still a tiny risk.

Did anyone see that fat old Belgian copper with a Hitler tash ? spinning around with a gun he seemingly had only just been handed and was familiar with it as i am with knitting patterns. It really was comical, we should get him anyway just for the comedy value, he won't do fuck all to save us but we will go laughing.
