Apologies if already posted but it seems we are all in for some extra security checks when we enter the ground this season.

When I arrived at the Lower Findus or whatever it's called these days for the Barnsley game, I was told by security that when the season starts searches will be performed on all people entering the ground and we will be asked to empty our pockets and place all our belongings into a basket for further screening. I am not sure if this means that airport style checks will be included and if not, why do we need to put our belongings into a basket?

Anyway, I can see chaos ensuing as people arrive at their usual time and face long queues to get in, especially as I would expect to see a reasonable crowd for the Derby and Coventry games. So the message is, get there early.

Ironically after being told this, I noticed a flare in the away end, so obviously not as stringent in some areas.

No issue getting searched from my perspective


"Falls to Arnold... Arnold! That's it! Thats it! He's sealed it! Grimsby Town are back in the football league!!! Just a minute to go and Nathan Arnold makes it 3-1! Look at the scenes behind the goal! Look at the relief! The agony is finally over!!!"

Me neither but just to clarify, the point I was trying to make is that this will delay people getting into the ground.

If they are going to those lengths, carnage will ensue. I usually get to the ground at about 2.50, with lots of other people.

It'll be like Stevenage all over again. Missed the first 5 minutes of the game there after they had 2 or 3 stewards searching everybody in the vast queue before they were allowed into the ground!

Ah well. Just need to leave the house 5 minutes earlier, I suppose.

I think the point is that while we can all appreciate why this might be required it would be sensible if the club announces, promotes, pushes this message ahead of a game, which clearly wasnt the case on Saturday.

If they run several pieces on this over the coming weeks in the telerag, on the website, local radio, poster campaign etc then people can be aware and if they arrive late and miss the start then its their own fault.

Does this mean my son will need to empty his sweets into the basket before we go in as well ?
I'm all for extra security measures but where do you draw the line ?

Depends on how much you value human life really.  The world we currently occupy necessitates this level of security so we adapt accordingly, no one is saying it is fun but if the threat is real measures should be taken.

The positive outcome (or cynical, you choose) is that more people will get to the ground earlier and spend more money in the Trust bars.
