I've not watched the doc yet but that did seem mad that anyone could go to Wembley that day, should have just been ticket holders and I'm pretty sure to get into boxpark at that point you needed a ticket as well. I needed a ticket to go to my local that day so they could control numbers
I remember watching the build up on Sky in the morning and seeing people there and we were saying this is going to kick off later as it was rammed and people were in a right state by lunchtime

Looking on from afar, it really stands out to me these days the attitude around English football. Every time a goal is scored a sizeable chunk of each crowd are only interested in goading opposition fans rather than just enjoying the moment. Throat slitting gestures, offering out from 30 metres away etc., all while making no actual attempt to cross almost non existent barriers. In fact they seem to deliberately frequent the parts of grounds that best allow them to do this. Even the sheer amount of players who do the ear cupping bollocks when they score again reflects this sneering attitude. I assume with the crowds it is pent up anger, misery and frustration in their lives being released by the individuals involved.
The Southampton game last week was a good example. Just reached Wembley and what started as a handful of people going on the pitch turned into thousands, many of whom then couldn't just celebrate but had to go and taunt the away end and try to start something. You've just reached a Wembley final and this is your reaction? What is wrong with these people and why are they so unhappy that they feel the need to do this?
Maybe I've been away too long and it was always like this, but I find it absolutely cringeworthy watching this stuff these days. The fact that it often includes blokes older than me as well as kids under 12 is quite depressing.
Blind Freddy could see it was going to kick off if you allowed people to be there drinking all day. Decades on from Hillsborough and nothing has been learned.
On the ticket pricing, they seem to have successfully killed off touting here with a system where you can resell tickets online (have done it myself a couple of times recently for shows I was unable to make) and are only allowed to charge up to 10% above face value. The recent Taylor Swift concerts were a real test of this due to massive demand and it seemed to hold up well. In contrast last time she toured a few years ago tickets were going for huge sums. So in short, it can be done.

The country has been governed for 14 years by self-entitled Etonian wànk-in-someone-elses-sock necroswinophiliacs. I'm actually surprised we're not in worse shape.

We’ve become a nation where it’s always someone else’s fault. People should take responsibility for their own actions. “But people got so much more to deal with these days.” Really? More than our parents, grandparents….great grandparents? Do me a favour.

People absolutely should take responsibility for their own actions. Unfortunately they don't. Then when they see the PM behaving how he likes they just think it's OK to do the same. BJ and his cronies set an awful example.

Everything now is done for the cameras and likes on social bloody media. The latest one seems to be the falling over the seats so they can put a photo on tic toc or some other such nonsense saying "scene's" or some other crap.
hi, i have not read every post but my pennies worth is, the media made it seem in build up to games, that the area around wembley was a PARTY ZONE, they had camera stands and showed many images of fans, drinking and flares being used and knees up and all that excitable stuff. the tube is meant to be alcohol free zone and on the final day, i was working at a jubilee line station and from 11am almost every train going north had footy fans carrying boxes of beers, i don't recall seeing BTP about ( big matches they were always based at baker st, finchley road and of course wembley park stations) as the day wore on, trains were packed and excitement levels were building . about 630pm i saw a woman with a press pass lanyard and i aske d for it, she said " i left , there is major trouble at ground" first i heard of trouble. when i got home to watch match, my thoughts og going up changed, the chaos was on the screen and it was a riot zone. knowing there was near 30k seats encouraged many to go, the media building up party zone did n't help and LACK OF POLICING was a major cock up. reports said met police were not "booked" until 6pm, by then it was already a mess. BTP can remove open alcohol from people on tubes nut none were doing this. media and police could have made statement DO NOT COME WITHOUT TICKET AND NO ALCOHOL OUTSIDE GROUND. they didn;t as not news worthy?

But that again is something I don’t get. Because someone else does it, then I can do it. Although I don’t get how breaking Covid rules means I can smash up Wembley. How politicians behave has absolutely no impact on how I lead my life and treat people. If I’m looking for people to set as an example to my kids or who I looked up to when I was growing up, it wasn’t politicians!

yeh it's a big bone of contention in the industry that BBC etc have to stick to all sorts of rules that Netflix don't. The Fyre Festival doc, for instance, which was one of Netflix's biggest unscripted hits, wouldn't have been allowed on BBC, C4 etc because it was made by the PR firm involved in the festival so a clear and obvious conflict of interest/puff piece.

I think they have a place for those who don't like "too much talking" or "detail", and prefer dramatic music and the same video clips repeated over and over instead of actual facts. The same people who ironically moan about the BBC's apparent lack of impartiality.

Ah yes limbs. If they wanna see proper "limbs" (stupid word) they should check out our FA cup replay win over Arsenal in 90. Collective intake of breath as the ball is played to the edge of the area, and then chaos in the rain as Kenny Sansoms shot hits the back of the net
They should get sued for this one TBH. Several thousand legacy English football fans carried out an "Attack on Wembley" and not one single person died or got seriously hurt. Why are they allowed to demonise us like this?
People will jump the fence at Glastonbury in a couple of weeks, good chance one or two will die, and nobody will make documentaries claiming it was "attacked" or come on here posting that the UK shouldn't be allowed to host festivals for years to come. And the media class wonders why we hate them.

Furlong's goal against Oldham would be ultimate limbage for me. Under the lights, final minutes, just after a massive save - the second that Clarke played the ball through you knew it was a goal, and yet, and yet, this is QPR.
It was like someone drawing back a curtain and giving you a tantalising glimpse of a world where you never have to play Port Vale and Chesterfield again.

But no one died at the Euro 2020 final. Or even got seriously hurt. That's the difference. Crowd control at a massive football match got completely out of hand. People stormed the stadium. You had stewards opening doors and selling fake credentials to get ticketless fans in. And no one died. It's a collapse of infrastructure, security, stewarding, staffing.......But most of all, it's a lucky escape. In years gone by people would have died, had it been at the old Wembley with terracing people almost certainly would've died. And I like and am very much a pro-football terrace type, but you have to accept that the all-seater thing has very likely prevented deaths here. That is the story. Billing it as some unavoidable "attack" and blaming the "attackers" to me just stinks of The Sun/SYP/Tories collusion post-Hillsborough.
Similar thing happened at Brixton Academy a few months later.....2 dead, a young mum of 2 and a member of the door staff, and several in hospital....Not many self-loathing (Anglophobic?) media class types there though, so no Netflix inquest is required over that.

not the best example (though appreciate thats not your point) as Glastonbury fencing is like a prison these days. Two layers of perimeter fencing which is almost like permanent fencing with car and foot patrols inbetween the two in case anyone makes it over one. They were going to lose their license years back over all the people climbing in, so they completely stamped it out.
