Tailgating at matches to become criminal offence

Must be pretty easy to stick a camera above a turnstile and have AI software monitoring for more than one person. Whole railway platforms can be monitored so hard can it be.

One of our lot got in for the Di Canio game using his tkt from tbe 5-1 game. Well turnstiles didn't shift, obviously, shouted about being crushed and they just let him through (with another right behind him) :lol:

Feel that it's basically impossible to jib into the big grounds these days anyways with the multiple lines of security and what have you.

Liverpool, Brentford, West Ham and Arsenal being fairly unpleasant experiences this season for away fans with how much they search you etc.

I did it at Leeds but it was a technicality. I had a ticket for the lower section and my son (14) had a ticket for the upper section. So I said I would come up with him to try the turnstile to see if it would let me in. I took a screenshot of his ticket to show the search guys to let me get to that section. It went red when I scanned so wouldn’t let me through but when I looked at the turnstile I said we’ll both get through here so I went through with him. No stewards on the other side.

The country has gone to hell in a high cart because of tailgating at football matches I’m sure we all agree. Finally they are taking time and resources to focus on the big issues in society

Football fans always been an easy target, mate.

A few lads bunk in, save themselves a few quid and get to the watch the match: scum of the earth, ban 'em for life.

Angela Rayner and associates fiddle the system by tens of thousands on Stamp Duty and the like: it's a mistake, we'll not worry about it.

There will be people posting on this thread saying about time these scum were sorted out who will also be some of the same people posting on the Rayner thread: mistake, poor lass had over.

Honestly man, they've been brainwashed.

Where's all the fun gone out of football.
As kids we used to get into the Roker end turnstiles on our hands and knees while the adult paid.

They don't want fun, mate, they want obedience.

Not bunking in but what we used to do for a big match when tickets were scarce and most of us couldn't get a ticket for our end, is that we would pay to go in the home end. One of us would have a ticket for our end, that was usually me because I could more often than not get a ticket for our end. We'd pay to go in the home end and then we'd go down to the front and say to the stewards/coppers: fuckin' ell mate we've come in the wrong end, didn't mean to, didn't realise as we came through the turnstyles. Where's your tickets, here's mine for our end, where's the rest of yer tickets, hoyed them away on the way in didn't think we'd need them anymore. Worked loads of times, like Man United away 1990/91, and got taken 'round to our end.

A different time unfortunately, we did it all over in the 80’s , Derby Stoke, Villa, Huddersfield ,we did it as was cheaper , came a cropper when in paddocks at the baseball ground, coppers said tough you can stay in here and by then the Derby fans had realised, they ended up escorting us around the pitch and into our end , like I said a different time

That and the fact there are loads of student stewards at Wembley. Either not arsed about stepping in or physically scared to. Disgrace really.

At the Wycombe final bunch of coked up idiotic kids in front of us up and down the stairs with pints pitchside (not allowed itself) the whole game banging on seats. Stewards near us who looked about 20 at a push and 5 stone wet through just stood there.

Stepping in mate?

Sorry but there were loads of horrible bastards at it that day

The saleable capacity for the game was 68000 and it was full
I had an end seat as well - managed it big time but 2 still got in

Laughable that they still say only 2k got into Wembley for the Euros final without tickets.

This. As someone who was there and crushed despite having a ticket. There were around 20,000 non ticket holders in the stadium for the Euro final. I have seen numerous England all other games at Wembley , there were about 10,000 empty seats for the final and the capacity was 60,000 for the final. The unofficial attendance including the ones who got in without tickets was around 80,000.

My personal experience from Sunday

After a pre-match meal with some friends (with very little alcohol), we left the restaurant (5 minutes walk from the stadium) at 5.50pm, plenty of time to get into the ground nice and early. I had already downloaded the NHS app and was ready for the Covid pre screening as we started walking to...

I did it at the mags a couple of times. Was the old ticket pass back won't work now tho with no physical ticket, which I presume is the case.

Aye, I've been in loads of homes end mate with a few mates and stayed in there with no intention of trying to get in our end. What I was saying in the previous post was that if one of us could get a ticket for our end but the others couldn't, we'd all pay in the home end and then go to the front to the stewards/polis and blag getting taken 'round to our end with the one ticket for our end we had making the difference. As said, it would be: fuckin' hell we've come in the wrong end by mistake, where's yer tickets for your end, here's mine, where are theirs, after they got in they hoyed them away as they didn't think they'd need them anymore. You'd be surprised how often that worked and we'd all get took 'round to our end.

Not sure which Derby match you're on about but there's a lad who replied to you talking about what was presumably the 5 nowt match under Butcher.

I was there in 90/91, in our end, and a few SAFC fans in the home end were brought into our end. Not many though, say 10 maximum.

I was also there for the 5 nowt under Butcher which the other lad is talking about (I think). I was in the Derby end paddocks nearest the Sunderland end which was called the Popside. There were a decent number of us in there. Contrary to what the other lad says about this, no Sunderland fans were taken out and taken into the Sunderland end. I do remember a lad in a pair of Union Jack Shorts, which sounds ridiculous as who the fuck goes to the match in a pair of Union Jack shorts, climbing out of the Popside where we were and onto the pitch and I assume he was from Sunderland and tried to get into the designated Sunderland end as he was heading in that direction, but it was a bit manic and you couldn't see what was going on. There's a chance he posts on here, or somebody who posts on here knows him.
