Guest av1 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 I’m torn with this. I hate Liverpool as much as the next man, but I’ve just started playing in a golf society and there are a few Liverpool fans in the group. They’re a great bunch of lads, and have been really supportive even though I’m **** shit. And a couple have gone up to Liverpool tonight to be a part of it. The football fan in me couldn’t bare to see these bastards win it. But I’m half hoping they do for the lads in the group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you block off entrances and make people think they're not getting in for kickoff for a game lke this, they're going to panic and do stupid shit Absolute farce. Sounds terrifying, I do wonder if a part of the issue is tens of thousands of ticketless fans (both sides?) causing the authorities issues in getting the ticket owning supporters inside. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MachoFantastico Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Watching some of the footage, it looks like an absolute mess outside the stadium. Just hope everyone stays safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like the reaction to the chaos outside from the stadium authorities has been to simply say "ah well, we've got enough of em in" and they've locked the gates. There are fans outside with tickets who will not be allowed in according to some sources. And they won't get refunds either I imagine. Pretty shocking really. You shouldn't have to get to a stadium 4 hours before kick off to get in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate to say it, but it will be. They reckon 150k have travelled. the fan zone area had thousands more than allocation inside too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 The French response to crowd control is a bit different to the U.K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Usually for these big events they have a perimeter away from the ground so that only ticket owning fans can proceed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichfield Dean Posted May 28, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted May 28, 2022 What percentage of tickets are corporate vs having been made available to actual fans? I suspect that is not going to have helped matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt there’s fans trying to force their way in with and without tickets. I guess police will say nobody goes in until it’s under control.

Its the same % every final and as this stadium is an 81k seater that should not be a problem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
