Wembley Stadium organisers suspended their agreement with their usual security contractor on Friday, just one day before the FA Cup final between Chelsea and Liverpool.
A replacement company will instead be used to supply staff after the regular firm's apparently alarmingly-lax protocols were laid bare. The Daily Mail were able to place an undercover reporter as a steward for the two FA Cup semi-finals - Manchester City versus Liverpool and Chelsea versus Crystal Palace - as well as the heavyweight world title fight between Tyson Fury and Dillian Whyte despite supplying false information.
The reporter allegedly was not interviewed, received no in-person training and their bag was not searched before they entered the stadium. Responding to the deeply-concerning claims on Saturday morning, a spokesperson for Wembley Stadium told Sky Sports News : "We are taking these allegations extremely seriously as they do not meet the high standards that we expect from our stewarding contractors.
