There were fans trying to bunk in through lots of different turnstiles all round the ground from Club Wembley to Tier 1 to Tier 5.

Once you were through security and COVID checks (outer security) you still had to get through turnstiles



Completely agree.

My point was that once fans overran the covid checks and ticket check points, they still had to get through a turnstile to enter the ground.

They got through far more than the disabled entrance, fans were trying to bunk in through turnstiles into tier 1, tier 5, club wembley but that wasn't all filmed. I was there.

A lot of tthe filming of jibbing Wembley showed fans breaking through the outer rings of security, they still had to get through turnstiles (the hard part)

The only good footage I have seen of lots of fans bunking into the ground centrered around the disabled entrances.

But fans were trying from all angles that weren't filmed

There's also reports of these jibbers paying £500 a time to stewards in bungs.

Which tbf is about 10 times the amount they would've had to pay a copper so at least they got rinsed there.

No mate, you were making some sort of special status. I merely highlighted the Taylor report which was meant to guide on preventing future incidents, both of which I gave you the appropriate wording for from past to present.

19 coppers were injured on Sunday, I'd call that serious cause for concern, one that will probably lose us our bids to stage future World Cups. Unprecedented public disorder... https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...edented-public-disorder-at-euro-final-says-fa

Imagine a terrorist had got in to Wembley on Sunday, and don't say that's daft, coppers that went for their kebabs at the Manchester Arena bombings, also probably thought it was daft that anything would happen, hence why they disappeared for 2 hours and 9 minutes.

Duckinfield could not account for his whereabouts for the three hours leading up to the disaster at Hillsborough. Literally the first case of pre-traumatic shock ever recorded in medical history.

Eye-witnesses saw him at the local police club bar, but they were dead by last year's trial.

Thatcher's army had declared war on the lower social classes after the miners strike some years before, certain tabloids joined her stance. Take away their football, take away their beer (taxes) take away their cigarettes (more taxes) all this after destroying their jobs, blame the fans for everything. Then she tried to cover up the report that was blaming the police by focusing more on the recommendations within it, which ticked all the right boxes for her own goals in the attack on fans. It's what I use to and still do as it happens call social cleansing. A lot of people today probably don't get it or understand it all, you have to be a certain age to have witnessed what was going on, hence why I refused to directly condemn the fans on Sunday, but more focused on the failings of the police and society in general, once again.

If I was their age I would be jibbing too.

Apparently it is alternative to bunk into a festival but not football

Good post.
I'm reading a book from a South Shields miner who started working at the coal face just after WW1.
IT was the same back then .
Any dispute and wanting if a better life was reported as the peasants revolt .
