Security checks

Quoted from louth_in_the_south

If this happens you have to question whether the terrorists have won ? It's a 4th Div football match ffs . Are isis really looking at the fixture list and thinking oh yeah grimsby v Accrington let's bomb the fookers ? No way . It's just an idea from a jumped up safety officer with too much time on his hands . I'm willing and sure most others are to risk getting blown up at BP to not have the hassle of getting a search like at Stevenage, which is more likely to cause a fight between fans and stewards than some jihady who's got lost and ended up at cleethorpes

Maybe the club could define a "dont mind getting blown up" section at BP then just for you and those that object so badly to crowd safety !!   FFS.

I went to Stevenage...and a fair few others away from BP last season and have been frisked at almost all of them, a quick pat down is all i have ever encountered which takes about 15 seconds. Hardly a huge impact on my away day.

Complete hyperbole - lets keep a sense of perspective for goodness sake or the terrorists have indeed won. I bet they are having a laugh now seeing that 4th division football matches are now deemed worthy of "increased security" which is what they want - to intimidate us and our way of life. Anybody who wanted to blow up Blundell Park would be able to do so and checking on pensioners flasks is going to make no difference to that.

Will flags be deconstructed before being allowed into the ground?

I think anyone in a suicide vest would just blow it up outside the ground if searches were going on, so not much point. The new tactic they have of running people over or stabbing folk is also something that could be done outside the ground quite easily, so if, and it's a big if, terrorists decided to attack us, a search at the ground is pretty pointless.

The searches could be more to do with flares and stuff anyway, rather than bombs, so are we sure what the basis for said searches are without going all gung ho?

I take a bag into every match. I contains drinks and snacks etc  for myself, my son and grandson, as well as scarfs and woolly hats in cast it gets chilly among other things.
It get searched most matches home and away, it has never been properly searched. The only time anyone has found anything was at FGR went they confiscated a plastic fork (Only to find they were giving them away with the Veggie Pasties at the kiosk.

There could have been flares etc in there, but on most occasions they just looked in the top, never were the continence ever taken out or moved.

I would welcome a more thorough search as it will not hurt me, but what others try and take in could..

Quoted from Abdul19

I generally hide flares, flagpoles and flasks up my arse anyway.

If you can do that, i suggest you urgently see your Doctor, or else audition for Britain's got Talent.

I quite like getting frisked! 😎

Quoted from pizzzza

Will there be frisks? Most enjoyable.

Frisked for a flask full of tampons?  

Must agree it's all it bit belts and braces but with criminal proceedings  being called for against anyone who sneezed around grenfield tower block you can not blame anyone who is in a position like safety office to really start scrutinising their position,
