brisfox Posted 5 January 2014 Posted 5 January 2014 I noticed that drug dogs were searching fans as they got off the coaches yesterday. First time I have seen that happen. Thoughts?
Craig Posted 5 January 2014 Posted 5 January 2014 They should have gone to Jamie Vardy's party instead.
The Doctor Posted 5 January 2014 Posted 5 January 2014 Can't blame 'em. If I lived in Stoke I'd be looking to get drugs off people as well - wouldn't want to face that place sober.
Carl the Llama Posted 5 January 2014 Posted 5 January 2014 You sure they were sniffer dogs and not just patrol hounds?
Ashley Posted 5 January 2014 Posted 5 January 2014 I noticed that drug dogs were searching fans as they got off the coaches yesterday. First time I have seen that happen. Thoughts?Pyro dogs, no?
AndWhat? Posted 5 January 2014 Posted 5 January 2014 Pyro sniffing dogs. Use them in Scotland pretty much every game.
purpleronnie Posted 5 January 2014 Posted 5 January 2014 Pyro sniffing dogs. Use them in Scotland pretty much every game. Doesn't seem to work.
Freeman's Wharfer Posted 5 January 2014 Posted 5 January 2014 Yeah I thought pyro dog as well. Someone still managed to get a smoke bomb in despite the frisking etc. on the way in as well!
Stadt Posted 5 January 2014 Posted 5 January 2014 Well there was still pyro so they didn't do a good job.
Larry_LCFC Posted 5 January 2014 Posted 5 January 2014 I saw them. Seemed they were dogs from a private security firm rather than police dogs. The whole operation is very much more formal around their stadium though, ranging from the masses of road closures and diversions, to the lines of stewards/dogs searching people. Only ever seen it at Stamford Bridge. Maybe its a PL thing
Solihullfox Posted 5 January 2014 Posted 5 January 2014 Felt like you had arrived in a police state, completely over the top. I. Asked one of the security guards as he searched me whether this was the norm for Stoke games and he kept saying it was because we had the whole stand. After the third attempt of asking him what difference that made to only having half the stand and also asking again if this was the normal security/police presence I gave up as his brain was making grinding noises and his eyes were beginning to roll. On the plus side the dogs were nice but really necessary ? I did also make the point that I was hardly high risk as a 52 year old (not that I look that old of course) and he grunted that he had to search everyone - we footy fans are treated so well aren't we.
Larry_LCFC Posted 5 January 2014 Posted 5 January 2014 I fvkcing hate that "take your bottle top off" rule. I mean ffs is it really necessary? If I really wanted to throw something at the players, taking my lid off me wouldn't prevent it. Just succeeds in pissing people off. At our place they sell bottles inside the stadium with the tops on, so whats the difference? Again, Ive only ever had that at PL grounds
Guest Bilo Posted 5 January 2014 Posted 5 January 2014 Pyro dogs, albeit in dire need of a Vick Stick apparently. They've got nothing on Bomb Dogs, mind. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_nvfQw8UCDE
Leicesterpool Posted 5 January 2014 Posted 5 January 2014 I felt the security yesterday was really over the top, i could imagine it scaring the youngsters. For me it was treating the fans like criminals yesterday, the amount of security that was there you would have thought we were entering a prison or something.
rico Posted 5 January 2014 Posted 5 January 2014 The young uns with us were dissappointed that they weren't searched
Stadt Posted 5 January 2014 Posted 5 January 2014 Pyro dogs, albeit in dire need of a Vick Stick apparently. They've got nothing on Bomb Dogs, mind. What's that from?
ramadaone Posted 5 January 2014 Posted 5 January 2014 The young uns with us were dissappointed that they weren't searched How do you think they got the pyro in ....

Bottle bought inside the ground and top taken.
JonnyBoy Posted 5 January 2014 Posted 5 January 2014 lads on the train nest to me on the way to the game were sniffin' away. Weren't being very discreet about it though! even started chanting 'we'll sniff on the train' at one point! some bloke was sipping from a pint glass from the pub and managed to get it on the coach
Poznan34 Posted 5 January 2014 Posted 5 January 2014 Football fans are treated like criminals everywhere, no exception there.
