Super Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 Was in Lansdown stand no searches or anything on way in or getting into the ground. Absolutely shocking what happened to the increased security?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendyredredrobin Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 Our bags weren't searched either, but they searched the people in front of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon79 Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 After worrying about what bag to take ( took a Bristol Sport drawstring bag ) & struggling to fit what was needed into it. We didn't even have any search or even a steward on the turnstile! COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedLionLad Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 Security were checking tickets on people moving from the South Stand concourse to the Lansdown concourse not realising that some people were going up the steps into W18 and bypassing them.......by coming out further along via W16-W17.

WOTRED Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 Completely different experience for me. Having read other posts on here the other week about the size of the backpacks that are allowable I took a very small one along as a test. Entered the Dolman at the Ashton Road end. The backpack was checked and I was told that they wouldn't be allowed from the next match - I should bring a plastic bag instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same for me, they told my partner to bring a large handbag, defo no backpack next home game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port Said Red Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 Presumably that was how so many smokies got in? Does anyone know what happened to the guy that the stewards and police were questioning about the one that ended up on the pitch? It looked like he was just Trying to get it out his vicinity.

They cant have been doing that very long - walked back and forth about 30 mins before kick-off with no checks. What if you had a ticket for the SS and were walking to the Lansdown? Is that a problem, were they turning people away? I just wanted a foot long hotdog which I could only see for sale in the Lansdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots on the `Smoke` thread and several witnesses have come forward letting everyone know what did actually happen. Julie H has said she`ll be in touch with them so it seems he won`t be punished for something that wasn`t his fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three cheers for the pragmatic approach by the club; they could have been a right pain about this but instead let you in and were clear about what would be okay next time.

I would have just missed it then. It doesn't make sense to be checking there and was probably a supervisor misunderstanding instructions. They were probably told to make sure stewards checked tickets in the tunnel between the LS and SS as thats a hospitality area so no one should be walking up the voms - they probably took that to be the walkway rather than the voms. I could see how it would happen, certainly doesnt help though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Horsman Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 I got my bag searched entering the SS concourse about 1.20, but given the numbers that stream in later, I did notice they stopped bothering after a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be worth knowing, not least because I'm sacking off the League Cup game because it'll be a straight from work episode and if I can't take a bag in there is no point bothering. I will obviously try and work from home for any midweek League games, bit the general rule of thumb is 'don't leave your laptop in the car'.

Hopefully, our security is tighter than that! The Middlesex CCC report includes a suggestion it may have come from 800 metres away from the ground itself. No security is stopping that. http://www.middlesexccc.com/news/2017/august/match-updates-surrey-v-middlesex-28-31-august/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it happened at Trent Bridge you'd imagine the sheriff would be all over it and would have assigned @Dave L to investigate. #MerryMen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
