Two game ban but one game is suspended for two years.

The FA can have no complaints and they've got a serious problem on their hands policing Wembley going forward as fans know it's an easy ground to target if you don't have tickets as it's very hard to put the "ring of steel" around it to stop fans without tickets from getting near the ground.

Our first home game of the nations league will be behind closed doors.
 

Typical government to blame it all on fans without considering all of the other factors at play here.

A once in a life time occassion seeing your home country in a major final on home soil first time this has happened in over 50 years.
Limited capacity due to covid.
A general party mood across the nation especially amongst young people who'd been through 12 months of lockdowns.
A ridiculously low % of tickets available to football fans through legal means.
A silly kick off time why are they playing a final at 8pm on a weekend?
Poor policing.
No lessons learned from previous games at that stadium it was well known amongst fans that Wembley was vulnerable and every game had problems with fans breaking in. Almost nothing was done to improve security around the ground to stop the number of people getting near.

The behaviour was certainly out of control and drink and drugs played a huge part in that I know people who took trains into London just to be around Wembley for the occassion most of them actually jumped straight on trains to get home as it was carnage on Wembley Way.
