Security

Any analysis of recent threats would suggest to anyone with half a brain that the major threat is from an incident outside the stadium.

Why on earth would a terrorist stand patiently in a queue when they could blow themselves up in City Square or, as Blue Anorak says, just outside the turnstiles.,particularly at the end of a game? Perimeter security would be much better.

Unfortunately the analysis would have to be completed by someone with functioning brain capacity, whilst we have 'job for the boys' ex GMP cast offs

Probably the optimum time would be outside with about 5 minutes to go.

Me too it is in Piccadilly gardens at the moment a steward said I might just make kick off but said he could sell me lager and chips if I needed some for £20.

Forget that nip up Lever Street to the Pie and Ale pub and treat yourself to a decent beer an a great pie.

Get people parking in the official car park - £10 - it's all the Council's fault, sorry. There's always room and we can always make it bigger.
Get everyone out of the pubs and in early to buy food and drink - £10 a meal, £4 a pint. In the name of security, sorry.
After the match - no point dashing away to sit in the car for half an hour - go and spend your cash in the store or City Square.
If you don't like it, sod off, we'll get some day tripper who spends even more than you in your place. We don't need to change habits for new fans, we can create them. There's always more money to be made as long as we sell out every week.

There we go couldnt of said it any better myself.
 
just had a sms off city about using the correct entrance etc,also saying please arrive early to allow more time for security checks !
 
Just to let all you guys traveling to the game tonight! Just walked past the ground on the way to Mary Ds bar. The security and stewards looks too have trippled from last season. Also there are queues specifically for people with bags, which are marked with sign posts. So just a heads up, take it seriously and give yourself plenty of time to get in the ground before kick off!
 
Before I moved to South Stand, I was in 111 and I'm sure that near the loos there were some areas which were barred off to the outside. The bars were about 8 inches apart to stop peoople squeezing through. Are they still there and whats to stop somebody from the outside passing things to somebody already in?

Indeed

Modern football is rubbish mate
 
Well done outside SS3 last night.

I usually moan like fuck but I arrived a little later than intended and was in a queue which kept moving. Not sure the wands or the patting down would have actually caught anything but at least we got in fairly quickly.

True
 
Queues at entrance P were a joke, not enough security with the wand things. 3 people i think just takes for too long. I was in the queue for around 25 mins. Not bad when the weather is good
 
How do they decide who to pat down and not? Its just we got in the queue last night and the fella in front of us was patted down but then me and me dad just got let through? Good job I left my suicide vest at home i guess.
 
I really don't understand the level of security. Without stereo-casting a 47 year old fat white guy is probably unlikely to be a terrorist.

This is the hold up: The turnstiles were not spinning at capacity, the queue was for the wanding. Double the number of "wanders" and the queues will shrink.
