I was in the queue for a drink pre-game and someone queue jumped. The two lads behind me were smashed and not to be messed with shall we say. They joined the queue behind me and waiting patiently but loud as you would expect someone drunk to do.

Got near the front after 20 minutes and some chancer squeezed into the queue. Lets just say the only reason the queue jumper didn't get a punch was because he decided to leave the queue at the third time of asking.

It always frustrates me in places like that though, the ground is built to hold 60,000 people and the catering can't even handle a crowd of 20,000.

I think there’s also a variation in how crowds behave depending on event, stadium and police force.

The Met deal with large crowd football events every week as well as small crowds. They know their excrement and react accordingly and appropriately.

I thought the steward with the megaphone at the stop/go for the route to the station was excellent, letting kids give a burst of a town song down the megaphone. When people see stewards and police as humans it almost always has a much more acceptable response…

I thought the stadium stewards were a bit odd. They kept walking down the aisle in front of me ensuring it was clear but whenever they did it, an army of them walked down the steps and back up again.

During extra time they ended up arguing with some bloke for not being by his seat and standing in the aisle but couldn't seem to wrap their head around the reason he couldn't do that was because everyone else in the aisle had moved across which forced him into the aisle.

That said, I was surprised they didn't make people sit down so fair play for letting us stand up all game.
