Arsenal v FC Koln - Live

Page 5 of 28

The only solution I can see is for the authorities to increase the amount of seats for Koln fans and get them all to move to that section, with Arsenal fans in that area getting moved elsewhere.

Logistics of that would be an absolute nightmare though - you're looking at up to 30k fans being asked to change seats

How did they get in? 20 thousand isn't a small amount.

Be annoying if you were relying on public transport to get home after the game.

What's actually going on here?

There's no solution. There's no game. Go to bed.

Can't see it going ahead. It will be impossible to guarantee crowd safety.

I agree game should've been called off already. If it's called off now it may just make things worse, and god help us if the match goes ahead and it turns sour.

That's what I thought. Airports must have noticed 20,000 extra Germans today. Especially when they were 20k football fans in the hooligan mould.

We saw videos in the streeys about 3pm, sureky the pilice were aware and club warned?

Arsenal will be in big trouble for this, apparently it happened to Copenhagen a few years ago.

Listen mate. You might well just be an idiot kid looking for a wind up but situations like these are how disasters like Heysel and Hillsborough happen. This isn't a joke. Crowds as big as football crowds can quickly turn lethal once herd mentality kicks in. Tonnes of fans pushing their way in without tickets, away fans getting into the home section and so forth leads to overcrowding. The fact that they're obviously impossible to control will probably lead to fighting. Which leads to stampedes.

You don't shout fire in a theatre. You don't let something like this go ahead.

It could quickly turn lethal.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
All well and true.

My point was that the video didn't show many Koln fans in the home end...

Knowing Uefa they'll give Arsenal a bigger punishment than Cologne.

Touts always buy up a ton of Arsenal tickets. Normally get sold to gooners but tonight the Germans got there first.

Maybe the touts had sunbeds?

Don't sell your tickets to them then...people making out that the Koln fans are solely to blame here. They came over hoping to do exactly that. Let's not pretend we all haven't sat in the wrong end before..

Had 2 Basel fans by us on Tuesday. But they kept themselves to themselves and we had a bit of a chat with them.

I'm reading that mixed seating is pretty common in the Bundesliga. The Koln fans are probably wondering what all the fuss is about

Text us

Currently inside the Emirates, thousands upon thousands of German fans everywhere around us. Horrible tense atmosphere, Tens of thousands of fans being made to feel very unsafe, including very young children. Not sure how this has happened. Has to be said if the roles were reversed and I was a British fan doing this in a German city, I'd be hanging my head in shame.
