The few that have moaned seem massively to have been in the minority: so many that have posted about their visit seem to have been 'on our side' over this matter. 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. Except this one was the Lep / Newcastle game "crush" non-story. 🤬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Tank_Owl2,0 Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 So basically now the stand is only able to have roughly have the seats occupied. Is it clear whether the decision is reversible, ie could the club get the capacity up again if particularly measures are taken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
