The sad reality is we must come pretty high on the list of sporting terrorist targets:

Premier League high profile
Jewish ownership
American sponsored

The more security the better.

Surely it was Frank Lampard’s personal protection squad ?

Good to see. The reality is a terrorist attack at English football stadia is a very real prospect

Ironic this thread should appear just as I'm reading the Peter James novel which features a terrorist attach on the Amex.

Just been reading this thread from the first post and was thinking exact same thing - read the book a few months back. Then I got to your post - so you beat me to it

There were a couple of armed police patrolling Churchill Square a couple of weeks ago.

I think it's just a sign of the times unfortunately.

Personally find it quite reassuring though I do have an initial reaction of "Whoah, that's a big gun" followed by a little "Ah yeah we do live in a world where lunatics can kick off at any time" thought.
