Dear all,

In the wake of the terrorist attack on the Stade de France during the recent France versus Germany international match, I would appreciate a few minutes of your time to hear your thoughts on how this will impact on security at football matches in the UK:

I think thats a pretty naive survey mate. What happened at the Stade de Paris was an isolated event and should not be allowed to change the structure of the game across europe as a consequence. You have to firstly understand the nature of the threat, the effectiveness of our current security arrangements and then contemplate the risk that if a person wanted to enter a ground with a device the likelihood of apprehending them if you made changes... versus the cost.

Man has coped with threats and danger for thousands of years, social media suddenly encourages us to think we're special. We're not. This generation of people are no different to previous generations and future generations... we're nothing. Get over it and don't try to change what we have simply because of an isolated incident.
