Yeah it was a bit odd. I didn't need to show my Covid status or any ID at all. Turnstiles - scan of bar code for ticket and in. As quick as I've ever got into a ground before.

[Albion] Security at Wembley last night .... Non existent

Possibly the least booing (or national Anthems) at any England match at Wembley for years. Did they miss the Scotland and Germany games?

Bloody good job he saved the initial penalty.
Look up "Steward; Wembley stadium" in a thesaurus and it will probably say "uninterested, bored, perma-texting, pointless, easy-money, not-my-job, ask-my-supervisor, hi-viz trip hazard."
Other than ensuring Wembley complies with the terms of Brent Council's safety certificate by being present in sufficient number, they do absolutely nothing but I'm sure it's a decent gig for a bit of extra cash and zero requirement to do anything except stand about a bit.

Interesting, my first thought on seeing the crowd during and just after the National Anthems was “no way is that just 60,000 fans, where would the other 30,000 go if it was a capacity crowd?”

A bit like the Amex every time the Palace oompah loompahs turn up with their smoke bombs you mean? Rarely going to get zero-hours-contract gig economy security makeweights giving too much of a shit I'd suggest

Ridiculous. What the hell are the FA supposed to do if some herbert smuggles in a laser pointer ? You'd basically have to strip-search every fan at the turnstile to try to prevent it, and even then he could have shoved it up his arse.
As for the boo-ing, well I've had my say on that. If thats the worst thing to happen in a football stadium then I think everyone will get home safe and sound.
Get where you’re coming from, but then you can hardly expect them to do nothing.
They need to be seen to be firm, and setting a deterrent, otherwise we are then saying it’s ok for every Herbert to smuggle a laser in.
It’ll end up a fine or something, but hopefully all this hoo-ha will make any **** who had been thinking ‘that was cool, I’ll do that too’ now think twice.

Yeah, I suppose.
But punishing the FA with a fine won't solve anything. Fining the Bulgarian FA £59.99 for the racist chanting against England won't stop the racists with their chanting. Fining the FA for this laser pen incident won't stop weapons-grade dickheads getting in.
I guess they have to be seen to be doing something though.
England vs Italy - Uefa Final update:
Sounds pretty bad at Wembley this evening, with security being breached and ticketless fans getting through doors and tail-gating ticket holders through the turnstyles or simply shoving in front of people when they had scanned their ticket. Loads of people arriving at their legimate seats to find ticketless fans had already taken their place. Outside sounds like a complete nightmare as well. A real shame for people holding genuine tickets.
Altough the game itself was pretty forgettable, taking my young son to Wembley for the first time for the cup semi final vs Man City was a really memorable experience that fellow Brighton supporters around us enhanced by making sure my lad had a great day out, making sure he could see ok and giving him their flags at the end of the match. I'm so glad I wasn't at Wembley with him tonight. It sounds like a nightmare.
I'm sure there will be big fall-out from this tonight.

Sounds like something that might decrease Englands chance of getting the Euro 2028 tourmanet.
I hope so. Too many dickheads in this country who can't handle their drink and think their right to behave like this takes precedence over everybody else.

A combination of drink and marching powder, one would assume?

Yup, every country has them but when it comes to tournament football England seem to top that particular leaderboard.

Looks to be England fans inside Wembley fighting ticketless England fans getting in through the disabled access door.
