So the French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said that up to 70% of tickets were forgeries.
How does he know that when most of the tickets weren’t checked.
It also means that most of the RM fans also must have had forged tickets unless all the forged ones tried to get in at the Liverpool end.
70% means that 30% were genuine tickets. The attendance inside the ground was 75,000 so he is stating that up to 175,000 turned up with forged tickets. Has he any proof of that? The French government have blamed the Liverpool supporters so he is implying that the extra 175,000 were mainly Liverpool supporters trying to get in. That would mean that about 4 out of 5 people at our end had forged tickets. Where are the pictures of 4 out of 5 being turned away? Where’s his evidence? Most people have stated that they didn’t get their tickets checked so did these extra 150,000 people get into the ground.
Obviously he is talking absolute and utter shit and somebody needs to throw the maths back to him. Note that he used the term “up to 70%” were forged. That covers all options from 0% to 70% and when somebody uses the words “up to” you know they are making things up for exaggeration purposes.
Even if he is a bit out and the number of forgeries was 50% then there would have been about 150,000 inside the stadium as they were letting everyone through.
Unless he comes out with a plausible explanation of how he knows how many forgeries and how they prevented almost all of them entering the stadium then he is talking bollocks………disgraceful bollicks.
Edit….I read later that he said 70% of our supporters and he was basing this on our official ticket numbers of 19,618 tickets. So up to 45,000 additional people.
