Security at the Etihad

[SWP's back]

Exactly, did the IRA target the army staying in the Arndale Centre on a Saturday?

They did call in a warning. That saved possibly hundreds. Can't really see ISIS doing that.

It would be nice if we kept this on topic, as it has implications for people going to the game on Saturday, will they need to arrive earlier than usual for example

To be fair. If that's the only topic. It just needs a sticky with that comment on the first page as it can't really be added to.

Also, in a slightly Darwinian way, any **** that doesn't think "security may be a bit tighter this weekend, I'll give myself an extra twenty minutes to get in" doesn't deserve to see the first half any fucking way.

The Summerbee Bar will still be crowded 5 mins before kick off

Section on OS now about added security checks and advice not to bring bags unless necessary etc

I'd rather retain the right to bring along a bag, whether it's necessary or not. Whats next, no bulky coats?

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.

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.

Perhaps we should shut the club shop a few hours before the game.

Easy to say if ur local but we come up on the train make a day of it do some shopping then travel back . What are we supposed to do with our things ?

This is exactly what we don't need to do. We need to continue, as a society, with life and plans and business exactly how we always do. The moment we start changing is the moment these cunts start to win the war. They'll never win in battle but this is how they win, by scaring us all into changing our ways and society. City would lose out on money if we closed the shop early. We shouldn't let these fucking nutjobs stop City earning money!

The thing is, bags and that will be checked this week but come February won't be checked anywhere near in the same way. What's the difference between now and then though? The threat of a bomb in a bag - the way the world is now - is as big on Saturday afternoon as it was a few weeks ago at the last home game.

People have the right I bring bags in so should damn right do so if that's what they usually do.

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
