Over 770,000 fans attended football at the weekend in the EPL and EFL.
Just 2 of them encroached on the pitch.
I'm sure someone better at maths can tell us what percentage that was?
Some of the knee-jerk reactions I'm hearing from ex-footballers and pundits is preposterous... cages, moats, even calling for armed polis at football grounds.
Let's not go mental eh... How about better stewarding 🤷

I think they react that way because of what happened to Monica Seles, it only took one guy, out of many attending, to stab her.
Last year or something, there was a football match between Portugal and the Netherlands. It was held in Switzerland. Three times someone got on the pitch to take a selfie with Ronaldo. Percentage wise it might not be that much, but it’s not good and shouldn’t have happened three times.
But cages? I think Liverpool might have something against that. Moats work, the Johan Cruijff ArenA has one.
But, yeah, it’s a bit too much how they react. They probably forget about it in a week or so.

Aren't moats as much a crowd safety risk as cages in the event of crowd surges, stand failures, fires, etc?

Hysteria sells. It looks worse than it actually is, but media will give it a lot of airtime to gain views and clicks. Im sick of hearing and listening about this story already but you know it will be milked throughout the rest of this week.

There are stairs going into the moat and once you are in there there are big exits out of the stadium.
