re: Ever feared for your life at a stadium

I went to some Man U games at Old Trafford in '89. This was right after some of the English soccer riots at other stadiums. The walk into the stadium was lined by cops with AKs or maybe Uzis...I'm not a gun expert. Luckily, I was rooting for Man U. The opposing fans were not allowed on the stadium grounds until the Man U fans were all inside. Then they were escorted in and cops had them surrounded in their section for the whole game.
