I have read a Mail article this morning which doubles down on our stadium, with references to their previous attacks from when we played Newcastle last season.
It’s as inflammatory as ever, there’s a bit in there about a pissed up Norwich fan. It throws in a thing about the steward being courteous, but then hammers the club for the away fans not being able to sit where they want. Right. So we’re in the wrong as a pissed up fan can’t go where they want to?
The away end is crap, I’m not denying that. As already said, I do think that things should have changed massively but the reasons for that not happening as mentioned before are complex.
I find it quite ‘interesting’ that there’s not a raft of journalists hammering the away end constantly, there’s not a raft of complaints, or constant reporting of these inadequacies from the SGSA. I’m not saying there aren’t things that need changing, they do, there are parts of the stadium which need changing but if it was as bad as suggested, then the stadium would be closed down by the authorities. And if it is that bad and it’s not being closed… isn’t there a bigger problem that the authorities in charge aren’t doing their job as well?
Anyway. One good thing in the article, the ‘news’ outlet has been banned from Hillsborough.
