Liverpool fans

Been to a rugby full house Stade de France. It was chaos then with 1000s missing the kick off.
They're useless with massive queues for everything including having a pee.
 
Merseyside police arrested someone selling the fake tickets a few days ago.

It seems like the locals had a slashing session and were letting fireworks off into the crowds on the way back to the stations etc.

Surely there has to be a better fool proof ticketing system to ID ticket holder on entry.

Yes, both sides guilty, seen footage of Madrid fans doing the same thing.

I watched footage of the Madrid fans, it seems like very few did it ( on the footage I saw), and they may have been struggling with cramped and squashed conditions near the turnstiles as well.
 
'Surely there has to be a better fool proof ticketing system to ID ticket holder on entry'

How hard is it put your ticket onto your season ticket to be used at the turnstile.
 
All these contributed:

Fake tickets
Ticketless 'fans' (why any ?)
Not enough tickets for 'genuine' fans
Too many expensive / corporate tickets sold / handed out
Ground capacities
Lack of organisation.......France, Spain, Italy etc, not used to 'away' fans at games; generally only 'home' fans are present in those countries

Apparently up to 15k arrived at the ground with either no tickets or fake ones. That's what caused the backlog.

I guess genuine ticket holders then get frustrated. Also we all know as fans you leave it until the last min staying in the Pig Iron. Whist many are saying they arrived 2 hours before I'm sure many rocked up last min.

It still doesn't excuse pepper spray. Yet it's what foreign police do. I mean at times I wish our lot were as heavy handed.

And there is factual reporting somewhere that 15k fans arrived at the ground without tickets is there?

Or is it just some nonsense on some knobs twatter account?
 
It’s clear that the organisation and policing/stewarding at the game was shockingly bad. But it’s also clear that a number of Liverpool fans have got in without tickets, either fake ones or by jumping fences. I’m sure that will have just made a bad situation worse.

Agree, the police and stewards should have been much better prepared and their reactions showed their lack of experience but it was a perfect storm of various circumstances, one of which will have included ticketless fans and fans with fake tickets trying to gain entry.

Vile thread this. Let’s ignore people who were actually there and just assume Liverpool fans were up to no good in their 10s of thousands while using a phrase that was used about a tragic disaster to have a pop at them.

It’s not a vile thread. There are numerous factors that aligned to cause the problems.

Nobody has said 10s of thousands were up to no good, but it’s clear thst fake / no tickets caused issues at the turnstiles. It’s clearly been badly managed by UEFA/Police, potentially stricter entry after the paris bombings a few years ago around this very stadium.

Police and stewards seem to have handled the Madrid end of the ground so much better .

I don't see how it could be factual.

No one has counted them, that's for certain, and even if they'd tried they wouldnt be able to distinguish between those with and without tickets
