YORKIE PAM Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Has anyone heard if there is going to be a big security presence at the England match? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glasgow jock Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 There will be in and around the Hampden Park, Kings Park & Mount Florida areas. I have been told by several friends that the police are restricting the Merchant City area of the city centre for England fans only - kind of makes sense i suppose, although there will be lots of pubs in the town that will be "mixed", can't see too many issues though, there hasn't been many major problems in the last 3 meetings. Having said that the higher risk of trouble is usually up here as far as this fixture is concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a report last week or so ago about the 2000 or so England fans who have travel bans in place. Under the ban they can't stop them traveling to Scotland as you obviously don't need a passport, they were looking at asking them all to report to local police stations at 4pm or something. Not read anything about it since. I'd imagine that there will be an increase in checks in and around Hampden prior to kick off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 If someone wants to bomb a stadium having an extra line of G4S stewards and some extra bobbies will not stop them. Intelligence and disrupting them at source can only do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Och Aye Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Cordons set up for body and bag searches. Surely there is no need to take a bag into a football match unless you have a medical need to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take the club flag in one, can't see any other reason. :s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I attended a match in England last month and (given I had traveled overnight from Glasgow) had a bag with me. Plenty of reasons people might have one with them. Doesn't take long for a steward to look inside it and give it the OK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
