Month: September 2016

Then and Now

Wembley during matchday:

Nothing much beats a day out at Wembley, massive crowds of people, people from all over the world all coming to support their team. On the day of the match you and plenty of fans flood in an hour or two before kick off and take over the streets. Surrounded by thousands of other supporters you almost fell at home amongst them. Nearing the ground a mob of a couple hundred travelling CSKA Moscow fans attempt to start a fight outside the stadium. This all escalated from what happened in Euro 2016 between English and Russian fans, months later their is still conflict between the sets of fans. They’re a brave bunch of people, only a few hundred fans travelled from Moscow and there are 85,000 plus of you. Outside Wembley Central Station tens of Moscow and Spurs fans known proudly as ‘Yid Army’ have a fight, chairs from nearby restraints are hurled at each other along with glass bottles and bricks. It didn’t last long as a woman across the road brings her buggy to a halt and desperately phones the police. You and about 20 others flee the scene and make their way to the match. Looking back at the CSKA fans, many police cars gather and they are cornered and arrested. Leading up to the stadium on Wembley way a sea of white appears and you feel a buzz of excitement if you are part of it. Excitement fills you as you race towards your seat. Its an electric atmosphere stepping out of the concourse and hearing club songs ring around Wembley along with the iconic Champions League Anthem beating the eardrums of the fans.
