Nothing untoward was found. Although this game was billed a© all ticket, due to the very low before match sales it was agreed by-police ■‘“and- the club to open four turnstiles at each end of the.ground .for picket sales only* The match went very quiet without any serious problems. During the game there were three arrests and two ejections.' - See appendex MA ” for details* The game ended'without incident and'both sets of 'fans'went to there rêctive homes without incident# _. •A‘ '' «*•* .>...*** * ..* . < The Commissioner of Police, Sir Peter Imbert was present at the ground for this'game. ’ - < This game was made all-ticket at the rfeqUgst of Wimbledon P.oljLoe,-.:;.:Liverpool .

Some 4,000 unsold tickets were returned to Wimbledon F.C; despite this, policing arrangements were based on intelligence reports that 4,500 or more!; Liverpool supporters could be expected. On the .day nearly ,6,500 Liverpool supporters attended thejgarae, excluding a, number w h o entered the home supporters parts of the stadium.

I am a Chief Inspector in the Metropolitan Police, attached to Wembley Division. My duties include the policing of events at Wembley Stadiun and T have been doing this in my present rank since January, 1987. The Hillsborough tragedy, after the initial shock, gave me hope for the future. This hope was that the behaviour of fans in Leppings Lane, which I recognise as a not unknown tactic at Wembley, would now cease - the danger being acknowledged by those who indulge in such acts. ^ On the 20 May I was in charge of the concourse at Wembley Stadium frcm the Royal Tunnel round Westwards to Turnstile 'K1. This area has two groups of turnstiles. •F* and 'G1, which are approached by flights of steps and are relatively safe from crushing. It also has three groups of turnstiles, *H', 1J ' and 'K', approached by level ground and which are liable to crushing problems. The stadium offices are close to 'H', 'J* and 'K' and likewise on level ground. I saw the first Liverpol supporters on my way into Wembley at Stanmore Broadway, some six miles frcm the stadium, where a number were sitting on the pavement drinking cans of beer or lager, at about 9.30 a.m. The to Wembley, the more fans I saw who were drinking in the street, often carrying more cans with them. I arrived at Werrbley Stadium at about 10.30 a.m. and saw that a large nunber of fans were already on the complex, perhaps as many as 10,000. Again, many of them had cans of drink, i.e. beer or lager with them. I was dismayed to find that many of those present did not have tickets for the game. My advice to them to leave the area went for the most part, unheeded.
