Jim D Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Trouble outside turnstiles Anyone at the game last night can shed some light on this situation? Who is to blame? stewards? police? fans? How could this happen at such a modern stadia like The Emirates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fyds Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 That's truly pathetic - the most modern stadium in the country can't handle a few (supposedly) hookey tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sutty Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 I think there's a couple of things Snide tickets, cause a back log, and the new chipped tickets also are slower to get processed than the old ripped up and through the gate ones. There's been some really shoddy stewarding (and stadium design if I am being honest) in recent years. Reading last season for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meepins Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Does anyone ever get banned for causing these problems? i.e. the attempts at rushing the gates or getting in with fakes. With the amount of cameras around it should be fairly handy to start identifying and banning. If there isn't something done sharpish this is going to get real ugly.

If they knew who was getting in with fake tickets then they would just stop them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hassony Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 I thought the automated gates were there to stop fake tickets! I remember when I used to be on the turnstiles at wembley and stamford bridge and every game I used to get people squeezing 2 at a time and offering me bribes...etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Si Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Theres a worrying element amongst our fanbase that appear to think blagging their way into a ground is a great thing to do. Athens was a near miss, Moscow has the potential to be an absolute disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Russian police/ army won't mess about when it comes to punishing any offenders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hightown Phil Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 I'm not having it that anyone got in with fake tickets. There's a circuit board on the inside of it to prevent them from working! They're electronic. You can't photocopy an electric circuit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Si Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 The Russian police/ army won't mess about when it comes to punishing any offenders The jibbers aim to causes as much panic as they can so once the tear gas and batons start flying around they will be made up. Totally spoils it for genuine people who have paid for trips/tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raj Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 where there no stewards/ police on the gates? Yep. But they just shoved them back into the oncoming crowd.They were f***ing useless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hassony Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Most stewards are useless, they are just there to watch the game and go there with no real training, I know the first game I did at chelsea some 10 years ago I was scared s***less and had no idea what do if anything happened Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raj Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 I was talking about the police. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
