Fans at this weekend’s FA Cup semi-finals will experience a new, security-intense Wembley Stadium after the carnage that marred the Euro 2020 final.
An outer ring of steel, sniffer dogs and an increased police presence will greet followers of Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea and Crystal Palace.
As Sportsmail reported, there was an enhanced operation at the Carabao Cup final between Liverpool and Chelsea, the first big match since Italy’s victory over England when ticketless fans stormed turnstiles. Now there will be similar measures in place.
A report found only good fortune prevented fatalities at a woefully unprepared Wembley last June.
