Due to circumstances with threat level raised to "critical " thought this deserved a thread.Wembley saying to get there 1 hr before.Personally will be making it 90 mins.Also advising not to bring any bags or any unnecessary items.I'd expect to see armed police possibly even troops.Stay safe everyone.

Just to be clear, the official information is nothing to do with what's happened today - it went out before the threat level was raised and is the same as what's been said all season. We'll see tomorrow if there's any additional last-minute information given.

Tbh not really sure why you are trying to downplay the situation.i'm not trying to scarmonger but the threat level being "critical" is a fact.Chelsea have already issued special info ,very surprised we havent .i'm sure a game at Wembley will be seen the highest possible risk."critical " means armed police and troops on streets,so really don't think situation should be downplayed.Yes everyone should enjoy their day ,but also have their wits about them and be aware.

Have to assume the searches they normally do will take just that bit longer today, perhaps a day to leave the man bags at home too.

The searches are so fucking token and pointless. Not that I want to be aggressively touched by men.

In public.

Anymore.

I went in without being searched at all for Chelsea game...

I think the reason the level is critical is due to yesterday's culprit still being at large, rather than likelihood of another attack.
Additionally I would expect more high profile games to be potential target, such as Chelsea v Arsenal rather than us v Swansea.
Still have to be vigilant, but these attacks happen when people are more relaxed, so again a repeat is probably unlikely right now.

Well I was popping into Lidl beforehand for a bucket of mayonnaise but I guess it can wait.
