England fans left waiting for hours after Wembley's bag policy horror show
- 5 years ago
England fans were left in logistical limbo last night (November 15) after Wembley's recent bag drop-off security policy went into full effect.
Fans were waiting for hours after the 3-0 win over the USA national football team, due to the FA introducing a ban on all bags bigger than an A4 sheet of paper in the stadium.
The bag drop-off system is a security precaution due to Wembley being at a significant risk of a breach.
Ricky Pillay, who shot the footage, was at the game with his son and experienced the nightmare firsthand, saying: "I took my 7-year-old son to his first Wembley game and it took us an hour of queuing to get the bag in and an hour later to get the bag back even though we left the game 10 minutes early."
