They’ll always be a few idiots trying to get in without tickets but the Liverpool stands are only 40-50% full and there are so many people tweeting photos of them stuck in crowds outside with gates closed and tear gas flying, looks like a massive organisational cluster-f*** to me. Agree apart from the surprised bit. Its amazing how quickly people are willing to hop on this particular bandwagon.

Ken Hairy 3,781 Posted May 28, 2022 Whether they're all ticketless etc it's plain to see this is an absolute **** show from all quarters. Apparently it's not just the Liverpool end either. French being organisationally useless as per.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,696 Posted May 28, 2022 (edited) Wundaboy, it’s because we’ve been here before, numerous times. It does sound like it has been particularly poorly stewarded, and there’s definitely plenty with legitimate tickets who aren’t yet in. But the Madrid fans are in and fine - why is it just Liverpool, again? The problem is the fact so many are encouraged to go without tickets, it is bound to cause problems.

glory.win or die. 270 Posted May 28, 2022 I suspect its a combination of too many fans without tickets combined with a French police force never shy at using force but I'm also sure Liverpool fans will be treated as if they are 0% at fault Never ever hear Liverpool as a club asking fans not to travel unless they have tickets 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I said Madrid fans appear to be inside the ground - which they are. You rather seem to be putting words in my mouth. Bit we’ve been here before, many times. The fact that Klopp said he wanted people to go without tickets, and the media seems to love quoting vast numbers of people being there - who by definition can’t have tickets, is ridiculous.
