"It's going to be cold at the match" said the missus, "best wear a hat". She's full of sound advice like that, so I gave an airing to my SCFC beanie hat, you know the one, black with a badge at the front. Pulled down over the ears it does a pretty good job and keeps out the famous Bet365 wind.
Whilst being searched prior to turnstile entry the steward asked to remove the beloved beanie. Now as far as I know turnstile searches were introduced after the failed attempt by terrorists to smuggle an explosive device into the Stad de France, so I'm quite happy to be searched for suicide vests, Kalashnikovs etc, and I assume that this is the sort of thing the stewards are searching for, but can any body tell me what type of IED can be concealed under a beanie hat? Nevertheless I removed said beanie upon instruction and saw the steward give the top of my head a cursory glance. Did he think that if by some means I was able to secrete an automatic weapon under a beanie I would leave it perched on my cranium like a pigeon on nelsons column? No, I would remove it with the hat, leaving it concealed from view inside. The searcher was quite happy with his examination and I returned the hat to its previous site, presumably with the WMD still inside and entered the stadium.
My point is this, even the most obtuse of stewards surely cannot believe that bombs can be hidden under such tight headwear, so what exactly are they looking for? Anything small enough to be concealed in such a garment could just as easily be concealed in a shoe, underpants or a glove. What next strip searches? What happens if I convert to Sihkism and bowl up in a turban?

What happens if you have a "flat" head and when you conceal things it makes you head look normal??? Or you have an unusually large head and the steward could not believe it when he saw it Nit nurses..... I have no idea what you mean...honest! |

We normally enter the upper tier via turnstile 13. Wasn't stopped & searched on Saturday by the two security personnel who were more intent on talking to each other rather than what was going on around them. |

The thing that gets me is every time I've had a flask in my pocket they've never asked what it is. Surely if I was hell bent on doing some destruction I could put some napalm or whatever in a flask and walk straight in no questions. The searching really is window dressing at its best and something tells me these guys don't know what they are looking for.
Unless they think that bombs really do tick???

I got searched for the first time in a while on Saturday. Patted down by a young female. I'll be headed her way again next time. |

Very true mate I never looked at it like that😮 Sorry, didn't really mean to take it in such a heavy direction. But lets face it, if you want to do serious damage, and you know there's somewhere you'll get searched, you'll just go somewhere else to do what you were going to do. Anyway, lovely weather we're having! |

Didn't realise they'd now legalised the bottle top. Where's the fun in that?! |
