Guest nufc_geordie Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 What would you have done given the following scenario? 1) You have managed to buy an official champions league final ticket going down official channels. 2) You forked out over the odds for flights and transport to get to Athens, maybe even went on official Liverpool FC transport. 3) You arrive at the ground to be told it is full and there is no way you can get in. 4) The police acknowledge that because of undetected forged tickets, fans having "proper" tickets have no chance of getting in and must leave the area surrounding the stadium. Then the f*cking BBC stand there and wonder why there was scrapping with the Greek police and some fans tried scaling the stadium walls to get in. I would have went f*cking beserk if that was me. What's the betting that UEFA might only offer to refund the ticket price. Feel sorry for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaststar Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 It's Athens...they should have taken that into account as part of their plans. But seriously, that would suck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Micktoon Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Typical Liverpool fans, meet up en mass, make a push when the gates open, police let every fucker in, genuine fans with tickets don't get in. Hillsborough anyone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gemmill Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Will they ever learn? Lovable scousers, greatest fans in the world, my arse tbh. The majority might be alright, I don't know, but there's enough of them living the scouse stereotype who are always on the blag, to always end up creating scenarios like this. Don't blame the Athens coppers for having to react to people trying to scale the stadium walls to get in. It's not their fault that a load of tramps with no tickets turned up and blagged their way into a football game they had no right to be at. Reports on the radio this morning of fans with no tickets, counterfeit tickets, or just colour photocopies of tickets. Fucking stay at home if you don't have a ticket you thieving tramps.

UV Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 I'd have: 2.5) Got to the ground well in advance realising this sort of thing was likely to happen. 5) Have a word with myself about the massive irony and hypocrisy of a set of supporters going on and on and on and on about "Justice for the 96" then trying to repeat the same scenario and having the nerve to blame the police again.

Skirge Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Thier own fault really, all those fkn idiots that travled without tickets have caused mayhem, yes the allocation of tickets they got was a disgrace 17000 tichets for a Champions League final is very poor and that did create a mass of fans without tickets still turning up. People geting in then passing their tickets back to other fans to get in, forged tickets being used to get in and it all in the end cost fans with genuine tickets from getting into the ground. The mass surge on the gates was what helped make the decision to close the gorund down 10 mins before kick off.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I saw somewhere that the 17,000 was actually split, 6,000 went to Liverpool "elites" (I've just made that word up because I'm not really sure who it was but it wasn't the season ticket holders!) and then the other 11,000 went to season ticket holders. Even more tickets to be touted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 That raises a good point though. While I don't condone the actions of people getting in on a counterfeit ticket or those forcing their way in etc. (especially given the historical lessons that should have been learned etc.) the club was partly to blame for by giving so much of their allocation to corporate 'fans'.

Cajun Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 One of the tramps (not saying all Scousers are tramps but those who try to get in without proper tickets are) was asking on toontastic if they would get away with last seasons ticket to get into the Newcastle vs Liverpool game this season. No respect for their own these people, aye cheers mate glad you had a good time blagging your way in while I got battered outside by the Greek police with my official match ticket in my pocket!

nazza06 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 By the way did anyone happen to recognise the Liverpool fan, from Yorkshire, who ITV were following about as he tried to get a ticket for the game?

Guest NUFCnutter Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Damn right I would be angry. All it took was a UV light to tell the real tickets from the fakes. Can the Greeks not afford UV lights? Its the Greek Authorities fault for allowing touts to sell fakes, for letting fans in with fakes and Uefa and LFC fault for shite allocation proceedures.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Hmm, I think the football authorities have to take the blame for allowing anyone into the ground with a forged ticket - it is their responsibilty to check and verify everyone who goes in, and I don't see how they managed not to do that. If they had proper processes for checking and admitting fans this wouldn't have happened - disgraceful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
