I was in one of the P queues in the south stand about 14:25 today. I joined the shortest one but soon realised this was a mistake as the person scanning was taking forever for some reason. There was a steward all wired up like RoboCop leaning on a barrier watching this, I presume he was supervising nothing. Loads of others loitering around with wands also doing nothing as the frustration grew.
Eventually one of them started calling us forward to get us out of the slow lane. As I got level with the steward in the slow lane I realised the problem. Young lad about 25, Irish accent I think, full of attitude glaring at everyone. The old guy behind me lost his balance and fell over into one of the barriers and Mr aggressive was asking "Are you alright mate?" but said in that challenging way, not concern, as he continued glaring at everyone. Just prior to this he had been arguing with a guy late forties as he wanded him, hence the big delay. As we entered the ground I asked him what it was about and it transpired he wanted to frisk search him on top of using the wand, totally Ott.
Showsec who do the searches and the bus control after the game are useless. There are loads of them but very few appear to know what they are doing. The ones on the bus control mainly stand chatting until someone shouts at them and stirs them into some form of confused action and they open the barriers. I hope we are not going backwards with all this just when it appeared things were improving slightly.
