BBC are reporting that Liverpool supporters have had problems getting into the stadium, that not enough gates were opened, that there has been indiscriminate use of pepper spray on supporters, and possible crushing outside the stadium.

Firstly, I hope that everyone is ok.

Secondly, why have scenes like this been allowed to happen again, and at a match involving Liverpool of all teams?

Thirdly, not the first time that English supporters have had problems at a French stadium England supporters were left at the mercy of hooligans in 2016.

Fourthly, is enough being done to make sure that, even if everything goes wrong, people will still be safe?

Fifthly, there was a stadium announcement blaming the delay on Liverpool supporters arriving late. For me this doesn't wash and is unacceptable.

P.S. Colne Dynamoes were mentioned in the match commentary, in relation to Alan Kennedy. They were spending a lot of money at the time weren't they? Is it fair to describe them as the first of the modern generation of boom and bust clubs trying to buy their way up the leagues?
