Look, I'm not a narc, I support decriminalisation, and I don't want to put a dampener on the day, but my word. The flagrant and open usage of gear at the game yesterday was jaw dropping.
And I work in advertising.
I went to the loo during the long injury break and was surprised to find the packed toilets were full of people not going for a wee, instead people openly snffing from bags
Saw 2 QPR fans fighting as we got in, both visibily charged up
Saw a few lads really looking quite worse for wear and in bad ways
Lads in front of us, oldest 18 max spent the whole first half ringing one of their Dads to come and meet them. Dad arrives and starts dishing out the packet onto their fists and they start sniffing in the stands and vaping relentlessly
I'm not an idiot. I know it's endemic in the UK and would the same in any away end, but the openness, brazenness and volume of consumption really caught me off guard yesterday.
Yeah it's so prevalent these days. I go to Ascot races in the budget Windsor enclosure each year...the hoovering going on in the gents is off the scale.
So what were all those dogs we walked past to get in for ? Obviously not drug dogs then.
The dogs I saw were just being held sitting by the entry gates when they are supposed to be taken up to a person to sniff their clothing. Unless they are being proactive with the dogs, they won't indicate anything.
Not much point in having them as a deterrent if you aren't prepared to use them.
Couple of bits - when we came out of lockdown this was absolutely rampant. I remember one of the Peterborough away games was absolute chaos, but it's calmed down a lot recently.
The dogs... I couldn't possibly comment but I'm told you get paid very handsomely as a private third party company for providing those dogs to events. Whether they can actually do what's advertised on the collar, and it's not just Joe Dog Owner rolling up with Rover for a nice side gig on the weekend who's to say...

When I'm in town, my missus doesn't live far from the Wham! stadium. Maybe I'll just start rocking up with my dog and see if they pay me for him not searching anyone

Sniffer dogs need to work for a maximum two hours before being given an extended period of rest.
If outsouced security companies were used, then I bet their dogs were the ones who failed their tests dor the police/army, haven't been properly trained, and were probably working for several hours without rest. I suspect by the time you all arrived, they'd have trouble sniffing their own arse much less locating some charlie.
Staggering to read a parent was supplying a child. Openly. There really is no hope.

I stayed in my seat all afternoon so I didn’t see this, but I was pretty shocked that a young father in our row left his son, who couldn’t have been older than ten, while he went downstairs on the stroke of halftime, and didn’t return until ten minutes into the second half. Then at 90 minutes, the son wanted to go for a wee and his Dad told him to go down on his own.

My brother was working security at Wembley when the Millwall fans all kicked off with each other.
He told me a grown man carried his son down the stairs onto the concourse, told him to wait there, and then went back up to have a punch up.
I moved my seat at LR this year partly because the young lad sat next to me last year going in and out of his seat to top up his gak was doing my nut in.
I went to Aintree for the grand National a few years ago and I had never seen the like. It was everywhere out in the open like Victorians hitting the snuff.
You don't have to be a dick to take coke, but if you are a dick it will ensure that you become the most dickish version of yourself you can be.
Back in the 90's when the people at the company I worked for liked to partake in the stuff, it mostly turned them into the worlds worst game show host.
Nowadays it turns everyone into aggressive dickwad cnts.

Funny enough one of the Dogs I saw yesterday was being handled by a lady wearing a "Dog Mum" woolly hat so it doesn't entirely suggest that it was a highly trained working hound...
It always makes me chuckle going to the loos in the Ellerslie Road stand before home games these days seeing queues for the sit-down loos. I can't imagine they're all queuing for a poo and are too shy to use a urinal in case someone else catches a glimpse of their knob...

I think the parent leaving the kids in his seat is more common than you think, do you really want your kid hanging around the loo's if he doesn't need to go? for all the reasons given.
However sending him to the loo on his own IS appalling behaviour. Again for the reasons given.

Has the recipe changed or have people changed?
Changed recipe.
Edit.. for the stuff available in football stadium bogs that is. If you've got real money and mix with the beautiful people, you can still access the 'Real McCoy.'

Or two blokes going in the same cubicle together.Neither of them look like George Michael so there must be another reason why they’d have to go together. The lack of stewarding in the top tier was laughable,and people were openly smoking and vaping.

I was a bit of a weekend hippie, so used to people drug using. Only ever dabbled myself and glad to have moved to booze. It's not good for communities for people to use drugs persistently. Alright for a party or such, I'm not really a prude.
