So what do you do if you buy anything from the club shop before the game and they put it in a bag?

QUESTION OF THE DAY!

 

 

At sporting events on this side of the pond, your bag will be sealed with a little plastic tape like thing, indicating it's on the up and up.

 

And I'm actually surprised it's taken this long for these types of measures:  Going into a Maple Leafs game has a similar level of security as boarding a plane 10 years ago:  Empty pockets, metal detectors, pat down / wand.  Going to become the "new normal".

Seriously?

 

Yes. The point being, if someone wants to put something like a bomb in a back pack, they can do so and simply wonder down close to the ground and mingle with the crowds going to and/or leaving the match. They don't need to go near the turnstiles or get into the ground. The point I am making is that by banning rucksacks from the ground itself you are not necessarily making things any safer, it's an illusion and though we'd like to think it would make a difference, I doubt this ban would stop someone sick enough to try.  In the end, it isn't possible to remove the risk of someone doing something like this by banning rucksacks, or briefcases, or whatever, in a situation such as this where you have large crowds. . The reality is that there's not much you can achieve by banning things here and there, if someone wants to do something then it's pretty difficult to stop them, sad though it is. For what it's worth, I'd argue personally they'd be better off closing Penistone Road to traffic completely before and after the game if they want to improve safety more.
