The Everton Forum • Re: New Everton Stadium at Bramley Moore Dock
This is more than fair enough imo.The metal detectors at the dock wall are going nowhere anytime soon. If anything, it's only going to get even more stringent over the next year or two.
Check out a piece of legislation called Martyn's Law, and it will start to become a little more clear. The Premier League are also pushing hard for 100% searching at all grounds, which will naturally make ingress a slower process.
100% searching has already been rolled out at Anfield, and the queues are reportedly horrendous. Check out social media after any of their home games and it's littered with videos of massive queues at turnstiles and people kicking off about the wait to get in. This is what the Premier League are pushing for across the board and is how things are going to be moving forward. They have also trialled metal detector arches at Anfield, so it's entirely possible that they may choose to install them permanently there too.
The impact of Martyn's Law is going to change the way that all large events are handled and will change the experience for all who are attending, as there is now increased pressure and liability placed on the event organisers to mitigate risk and ensure safety.
If anything happened people would point fingers at the lack of security.
Just the way of the modern world unfortunately.
