Wembley Stadium and the FA

[West Acton]

20mins after kick off me and thousands of others were still waiting outside trying to get into the game because the electric turnstiles broke down.

I am not surprised football in England is the way it is with the FA running it with no commonsense and zero capability.

Then I hear the FA blamed fans on the radio for staying in the pubs before kick off and that was the cause for the delay which is a blatant lie!!! I am assuming this is an effort from them to avoid having to compensate fans left outside.

For your information FA I, as many others, got to the turnstile 40mins before kick off to be greeted by thousands in a queue and no organisation or contingency plan in place for the problem. Your staff were unprepared, incompetent and chose to stand their scratching their ******** instead of being proactive and allowing fans to enter through other completely empty turnstiles

Don’t blame the Fans this was your balls up!!!!!!!!

Fark that for a game of soldiers.
Giving money to the rotten FA, just so you can watch a bunch of over-rated, over-paid, useless tosspots, disgrace the shirt they wear and the crest that adorns that shirt?
And to top it all off, be treated like the way you were treated?

I'd sooner watch EastEnders 24 hrs a day, seven days a week, for a whole year!

Very true Mod when people started singing let us in and getting a little aggrievated (remember everyone had paid £35 and 15 to 20mins after kick off remained outside of the ground not even a 15min delay to kick off) the response was not to use commonsense and put a steward in each turnstile to check the tickets, old school style, no the response was to call the mounted police
