Reply to comment by jupiterspringsteen in [OC] Which Premier League stadiums have a Fish&Chips shop close enough for you to walk/run to and be back before the 2nd half starts? by F_redrik

No, the main fear at stadiums is bombs. Well that, and people sneaking in without paying. I'm actually very surprised to hear that there isn't much security at European stadiums.

It depends on the stadium as well, the Spurs stadium has almost airport style security and they will check your bags, but it works pretty well. Smaller clubs usually have no security, my local club you just stroll through the turnstiles.

Then things seem pretty similar. There’s not much security at small stadiums, like 5000 people or less. There’s a ton of security when it’s a major pro stadium.

Depends on the stadium, where you are sitting and who is playing. If it’s a game with two rival clubs and the fans are known for starting trouble, it could take an hour to get out of the stadium after the game because they don’t let the diehard fans (scum) leave until the other diehard fans (also scum), are on the buses back to wherever it is they are from. This is to stop fights and other hooliganisms.
