Security at the Etihad

So if we all decide to do this how will the station cope . Loads travel up on trains and we all can't leave our bags there

Banning a woman's handbag? Just cos i assumer you're a bloke who goes a for piss up and if they buy a prog shove it in their back pocket along with your wallet (and wonder why you lose your wallet?!) PLENTY of people need a bag, a small one.
Medication for example (and her purse, phone, bits and bobs - we don't all drive, you try getting a bus for an hour with nowt with you) - My mum needs to take quite a few bits with her, if she shoved it all in her coat pockets she'd be bulging so much they'd think she had a bombvest on under it!
Personally if we're getting this paranoid i suggest we all go there topless, just to prove we havn't got anything strapped to ourselves to take everyone out with ;)

Should stop bags being brought in really, if someone cannot manage without their cheese butties or whisky coffee for a couple of hours then its a sad state of affairs.

Rubbish! You think that's what bags are full of?!

So it's ok to expect people to go without things they NEED with them if they are out of the house for 4 hours? But you guys go apeshit when there's no alcohol in the stadium on euro nights cos you can't go to a match without drinking?! And don't get me started on the idiots who can't last without smoking. But hey - they're all ok by you cos they don't need a bag!


Anyway, the city store wouldn't do much trade on a match day if people can't take in what they've just bought in a bag!

There is obviously a certain demographic that should be checked on entry to the stadium, that's the white elephant in the room with all this, but I doubt we would have an outbreak of common sense any time soon.

Obviously a certain type of demographic? Go on then, set the parameters. Shall we have a colour chart that people have to stand by on their way in?

Aside from the absurdity of what you're getting at there is NO evidence that racial profiling works. Not only that, do you not get that the whole point of attacks like the one in France was to create even more division between Muslims and the rest of our society? You'd be creating even more terrorists by subjecting thousands of people to that kind of humiliation week in week out. We'd be safer if we cancelled matches all together than go down that road.

haha true, although my question was kind of rhetoric.

Bit harsh to expect people to go away from the stadium, pay money and then potentially need to go out of their way to pick a bag or two up... all in the name of "security".

I guess we'll all just have to get there a bit earlier and put up with (even more) queuing
