KrolMong Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Something doesn’t smell right about this. That stand has not changed since the rebuild after 89. We’ve had multiple away end sellouts including 10 years of Premier League teams, countless Sheffield Derbies, big gates from other championship and league one clubs. No issues, and I mean no issues whatsoever. We end up with a non sold out away end where we can clearly see an issue with fans not taking the seats they have been allocated, and blocked entry into the stand. We get a journo making a point, making the right noise to the right people, and all of a sudden, the machine has kicked into gear, from presenters, to people involved in the tragedy in 89’, all coming out. Despite not making a peep in the previous 25 years. It also feels pre-planned an coordinated. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelters Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 A remarkable coincidence that the offspring of a Liverpool player and manager has stirred this all up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrolMong Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 It feels far too coordinated. Kelly Cates picks up a tweet from a regional journo from a north east paper… and all of a sudden, we have multiple groups calling for the FA to act, the stand to be demolished… dare I say this was a long drawn out plan finally coming to fruition.

I believe it's had its capacity reduced in more recent times, as have other areas, especially the closed corner nearby. Btw, you can add to your list of major crowds since the rebuilding several more F. A. Cup semi finals, a replayed League Cup Final and 3 group games in Euro 86, though Tyrkey only brought about 2,000 as they were already out.

mkowlthesexynewversion Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 The low number of stewards in the pics could be a) they were outside / behind the stand ensuring orderly behaviour outside. It must be common practice that stewards do several tasks during the course of a match. b) they were probably at least 20 stewards pre match on Claywheels Lane. So not a place they would ordinarily be but due to 60 odd coaches and fucking off home fans who normally park there - they probably went to the stadium post kick off.

mkowlthesexynewversion Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Seen there is an hatchet job in The Daily Mail. The journalist Craig Hope is on twitter if you do a search and send him your thoughts. I think it's about time we started fighting back. Fuck em we have had 34 years of shit, I accept some of it from 1989 is well deserved, but the continued vitriol and vindictive stuff is getting on my tits. For a starter the owner of the Club today bears no responsibility, the club management are not the same people, we continue to be tarred when one other club, namely Liverpool airbrushes Heysel. Let's no longer sit back and take it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoylandOwl Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Just been reading the report from the Mail, and it’s annoying. I ain’t sharing it. Frustrating as hell. I mean, fancy stewards checking tickets, how dare they. As for one of their fans saying ‘ in league one so many fans won’t be a problem.’ There’s been more fans than that in the Lepp with no issues. But no, the mail wont mention or put an additional line in about there being around 1,200 or so seats spare in that end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact there is less space behind the stands is due to there being more space out front to prevent congestion there Perhaps we can ask God to divert the River Don so there is a bit more space Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reality they won't address is that whilst ever football fans are not permitted to take an alcoholic drink to their seats then the vast majority of concourses will be congested. HT will always be an issue, it is everywhere if there is a full allocation. Most of us know this and avoid as a result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tank_Owl2,0 Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 I agree with MK, I think 99.9% of the Geordies will be oblivious to this because Im fairly sure (like our away following) they will be used to big numbers travelling to stadia like ours and others in the top divisions in England - there will always be one be11end that sees his/ her opportunity for 30secs of fame. So I might have other issues to raise with them but I dont see much on social (or elsewhere) media coming from them. Which can only mean its journos with an agenda, of which there a few (agendas). I know some on here look at away fans vlogs, some have been posted on here before. I do sometimes but didnt this week, been too busy, but it would be interesting to see if ANY of them mention crowding. Btw when does being crammed and crowding become a crush? Im glad the club have made a statement and IF there is evidence of slander etc I hope DC / the club gives them something legal to chew on.

Maybe if we bombard The Press Gazette over his article, his ‘Sports Journalist of the Year’ award might be annulled. Might be worth sharing the image below (or a link to the Tweet) with other SWFC supporters and other sources, e.g Owlstalk etc. Not sure The Press Gazette would appreciate or welcome such bad publicity or hounding about their recognised sports journalist of the year.
