Everyone is being searched before they go in tonight apparently. Obviously this won't happen but I'd imagine the turnstiles will be busier than normal close to kick off.
Get there early tonight...

Really what you're saying is to remember to wear green and gold underwear aswell?
I'm afraid so yes....
Is this not just for the away lot for safety reasons?
Is this the death of the anti glazer flag?

nah, maybe for tonights match,but they aint gonna do this for every game
Planning to get there around 6. Hopefully there'll be some scarves too, those people at sportingkicks failed to deliver 
I would imagine it would be immpossible to fully search 77,500 people.
They have queues at the turnstile on a normal matchday.
What's the point in searching ST2 for anything other than anti-glazer propagander?
I don't think I would get my sniper rifle past them will a normal search.

Yeah I'm still waiting for mine from them.Planning to get there around 6. Hopefully there'll be some scarves too, those people at sportingkicks failed to deliver
Cost me almost a tenner as well
Only the dodgy looking feckers will get searched...
so basically the entire away support. All 50 of them.

Yea. They said they were completely out of stock and were only starting deliveries Today at the earliest.Yeah I'm still waiting for mine from them.

I don't think they'll be doing anything more than the search you got on Saturday Imps.
Yeah, you'd need a healthy arm to dart the bitters from ST2.
Can't concentrate.
EDIT: delete "...giddy as feck today" as sound like one of them.
Bit of a tangent but its always surprised me they don't search people more going into the ground, on most weeks it wouldn't be that difficult to sneak something into the ground. Probably impractical to search everyone I know.

Thats what they told me but mine arrived today, may be a chance yours were sent out yesterday too.
Makes me laugh how they have someone checking tickets before you get to the tunrstile.
Waste of time and effort all round.
Just had a textual message telling me to get there early.
To stop people doubling through the gates isn't it?
That's to check people aren't using concessions.
The best jokes are usually the true onesI wonder if their bag searches will be improved from the usual "let's checkt hat you haven't packed anything dodgy at the top of your bag, where it's the onyl thing we can see". I've got in with 8 cans of lager in my bag before, due to their being a jumper on top of them!
Are the pubs and beer selling shops open around the ground?? Or are they shut a la Leeds??
Aah right, dint realise concessions looked different.
They say concession on them.
hardly reason to get there early it takes what, an extra 10 seconds with everyone? i wont be getting there earlier than most big derbies
Very lacking in understanding of queue theory there PS. I wouldn't be surprised if a genuine extra 10 seconds on everybody had a catastrphic effect on trying to get in.
Still, I wouldn't worry too much about it taking ages to get in, I doubt there'll be much extra searching going on in the home stands in reality. As somebody said, you're hardly giong to hit a bitter with a dart from the Stretty...
10 second with the amount of people is like an extra 3 hours
i understand it i have been searched at games enough times to know that it makes very little different, they search 2 or 3 at a time
They're checking tickets on the way to the ground?
What if you're meeting a friend who has your ticket at the ground?
There is a big difference between searching just away fans and searching a whole stadium.
As well as the actual search you have to add on the time taken for when people are stopped for some reason. Searching everyone is undoubtedly going to cause delays.
It will of course also be the case that the Club and Police want those with tickets to be in the ground as soon as possible to minimise any trouble outside the ground.
He's talking about the check they do immediately before the turnstyle.
I'm next to the away lot, but as has been said they wont be likely to do stretty so it shouldn't take long
Give 'em hell, PS!
And whatever you do, don't check this site out:

Last time they were doing Random searches, and mostly on those with Green and Gold Scarves. No coincidence there, and I imagine it will be the same tonight.
No, there's guys checking tickets as you go into the turnstiles. Literally seconds before the machine validates them anyway.
...supposedly checking for the word concessions, but I'm pretty sure you'd get away with flashing a blockbusters card for all the notice they take.
Huh?
I went to Ann Arbor to watch an American college football game, there were over 100,000 people there, and we all went through an extensive search and the gates were opened 2 hours before the game, amazing pace and professionally done.
