New Everton Stadium at Bramley Moore Dock

[TheRam]

The whole city is under heightened alert.

I work in a government building and we’ve really upped our security over the last year.

It will most likely be the decision of the council or the police.

You can’t be having a congregation of 52k people just outside of town without some security protocol.

At Anfield they screen the away fans with handheld detectors.

At anfield they get scanned at the airport and ferry terminal.

I don't disagree with any of your points.

But Anfield and Goodison are just outside town and have large crowds with this level of security protocol?

And once inside Goodison or Anfield you are in an enclosed space with restricted egress.

Whilst you're all right to quote this stuff at me, my point is that the rules themselves are hypocritical at best and just fucking dumb at worst

Has anyone got a stone? We go to ours every game we get to, but you can hardly see some of them. I don't know if it's grime or they're fading. Will not be fucking happy if it's the latter

I've noticed this - looks like some are definitely being worn down with footfall

They'll be offering a stone refurbishment package at the end of each season for 100 quid!

Don't give them any ideas!

I cant believe their is chewy stuck to the floor in places around the plaza already. Fucking tramps some of our fans.

The metal detectors at the dock wall are going nowhere anytime soon. If anything, it's only going to get even more stringent over the next year or two.

Check out a piece of legislation called Martyn's Law, and it will start to become a little more clear. The Premier League are also pushing hard for 100% searching at all grounds, which will naturally make ingress a slower process.

100% searching has already been rolled out at Anfield, and the queues are reportedly horrendous. Check out social media after any of their home games and it's littered with videos of massive queues at turnstiles and people kicking off about the wait to get in. This is what the Premier League are pushing for across the board and is how things are going to be moving forward. They have also trialled metal detector arches at Anfield, so it's entirely possible that they may choose to install them permanently there too.

The impact of Martyn's Law is going to change the way that all large events are handled and will change the experience for all who are attending, as there is now increased pressure and liability placed on the event organisers to mitigate risk and ensure safety.

This is more than fair enough imo.

If anything happened people would point fingers at the lack of security.

Just the way of the modern world unfortunately.
