Lancashire, Salford, Timbuktu wherever. The Rags aren't in Manchester, so anywhere outside of my city is all the same to me bud. :-)If they're as geographically challenged as you there won't be much damage.
Probably need a tin hat for this and please don't be lazy and fall into the trap of just calling me racist as its just a question, could/would racial profiling on searches be introduced, I'm not saying or trying to say all Muslims/brown folk are terrorists, but the fact is all IS terrorist are Muslims, I know legally it's on dodgy ground and I'm prepared for the onslaught from certain posters on here , but what are people's thoughts on it.

I suspect it probably would although no one would admit it. But just as not all Muslims are terrorists then not all Muslims are Asian either. Edin Dzeko & Samir Nasri are Muslims for example.Probably need a tin hat for this and please don't be lazy and fall into the trap of just calling me racist as its just a question, could/would racial profiling on searches be introduced, I'm not saying or trying to say all Muslims/brown folk are terrorists, but the fact is all IS terrorist are Muslims, I know legally it's on dodgy ground and I'm prepared for the onslaught from certain posters on here , but what are people's thoughts on it.

Completely understand about the diverse ethnicity of Muslims, tho as of yet it appears the terrorist are only coming from the ME and North Africa.
Edit. I'll give a £1 to the first person that rants about our owners being Muslim and would I have them searched.
So why do you think they search us so extensively?Yeah, because that's exactly what I said.

To satisfy politicians.
I'm not opposed to security at the airport or football FWIW, just think we as a society can overreact to single events in a way that damages our way of life. Politicians like to say "look what we're doing to make things safe for you". In reality I reckon if someone wants to blow up a plane I'm on they'll do it.

I'm inclined to agree with this, a lot of the extra security precautions after 9/11 were political window-dressing, a determined well-organised terrorist cell will eventually find a way to get through.To satisfy politicians.

true, but the govt decided to donate the armed forces to the Olympics for free when it turned out g4s were not up to the job. Can't see UK armed forces giving up their weekends to act as free bag searchers and scanner operators for the prem?
It was the normal stewards I encountered at Old Trafford, annoyed at City gear worn intentionally being 2012 and that. The army were probably in the background in case of any 'incidents'. It would just need a lot more stewards and people to start turning up 90 mins before the game. It would be a nightmare for queues.

I'm sure it already happens to a degree.
