Quote: Wadski "So why did they shut Wembley Park tube station after the game causing everyone to stand on Wembley Way?'"
To be fair the police do this for every event at Wembley be it football, rugby and concerts (i Live in London and been to many events). The police hold people back in groups of circa 200/300 people - the number of people to get on each tube. They cant have over spill in the tube station (ala hillsborough). Would result in people being pushed onto platforms etc.
Not saying there wasnt trouble - i saw (from a far) the fracas with the Leeds fans being in the wire end but that was the only trouble i saw personally. However back to main point the tube station wasnt 'SHUT' due to fighting. Its incorrect comments like this that blow things out of proportion. Next minute someone will be in the pub saying ''oooh did you hear they shut the tube stations due to riots between Leeds/Warrington fans'' which isnt true.
