Tylluan Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 So one fan felt 'intimidated' by their own fans on the concourse and left at half time, instead of just returning to their seat. And instead of making a formal complaint to the chief steward on the way out, or even to one of the god knows how many coppers that would have been milling about outside decides to post about it on a public forum instead and gets abuse from our keyboard warriors. Then crys to Vales supporters club who get all high and mighty and start writing to Sheffield Wednesday demanding answers, while also leaking the story to the local press. Yet right down at the bottom of that story there's five lines on our excellent treatment of their disabled support. A story that probably wouldn't have even got printed if it wasn't tagged onto the above. Cant wait for the Plymouth lot to kick off their panics and fears after they've lost. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, having a feeling is different to genuine objective matters the club can do something about. Maybe we are too tolerant of the shit holes we put up with when we travel away in numbers, which is more often than we’d like to debate. The point being I went to Wycombe away. Its not brilliant, but it is what it is. I think a lot of folk that complain simply do not go to away games that often 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the Manchester derby yesterday, and numerous stadiums in the top flight especially. A couple of rows blanked off between fans, that's about it. Yet at our place, even though they're in different stands, we still get blocks covered over... I sort of understand the bottom right and left of the lepp as you look at it, and the bottom of the North/South corners adjecent to the lepp being unused but beyond that is nuts IMO. No way south block AA should be closed off 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellsview Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 What do these whinging twats do at half-time, when the back of every football stand in the country is ‘wedged’ with supporters?

Tylluan Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 In age when almost everyone carries a smartphone there's never any corroborating evidence to these claims. With our past and recent history you'd think everyone in the Lepp would be filming if it looked a bit dicey. That Newcastle Muppet who 'feared for his kid's lives' filmed nothing but his Twitter is full of pics of his kids inside various grounds, including ours on that day. There are a couple of Port Vale vlogs, from the game, on YouTube showing an orderly set of supporters. There's no pushing or shoving, there are visible stewards, including the exits and stairwells. There's nothing to see but a decent away following supporting their team. Put body cams on the stewards, and maybe upgrade the cctv, and get a decent legal team to start issuing shut up or put up letters whenever anything like this is reported. Starting with Kelly Cates and that attention seeking journo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EBRA Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 The common thread between the 2 games is that majority of the base came on busses. Both games played on days when no public transport to the city really existed. This meant they were all dumped on the ground similar times. All wanted refreshment, and toilet at similar times. Had trains been on, lots more would of been around town - eating and drinking and not needing the concourse. I think that where the issue as arisen, alongside MK point about many won’t have gone to away matches as much - esp the Vale lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the steward up there said they’d been advance warnings on local radio etc. which he knew was balls. There were no police enforcing anything, no visible signs so he told them to go spin. And parked behind some other cars which were already there. Nothing happened, but there were loads who were turning away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owling_Wolf Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 This story yesterday about two police authorities apologising to the families of those lost in the disaster: I read it on the BBC News website. Fine until I'd finished reading. What then got right up my nose was the page proffering 'related stories', as it usually does.

I'd want answers as to why my kids went to a game of football and never returned other than in a coffin Or a trained first aider trying to save someone’s life at 3:25 and wondering where the fuck the ambulances were, only for the subsequent coroner’s inquest to tell you it didn’t matter because everyone was stone cold dead at 3:15. Or an ambulance driver blamed by your own boss your not moving, when you’d been clearly ordered to stay put by the police. Or a copper with an impeccable service record who was on duty the day of a major disaster, and made a signed statement which was critical of the performance of senior officers, only for that evidence to be deemed too unimportant to be put before the jury at a coroners inquest. I hope a law gets passed which introduces a statutory duty to public servants to be truthful in front of public inquiries. It’s fairly astonishing that we don’t already have something like that. It would be the one good thing to come out of that endless shambles. I do however agree with Owlin that it’s bloody irritating that any new development relating to the police lying, apologising for lying, or being forced to tell the truth, gets linked to every something and nothing bit of nonsense that happens in our ground.
