The Safety of Fans in the North Stand

Sure sniffer dogs can sniff out pyro. Probably down to the police not having resources

It's really not hard to do, I could train my own dog to sniff out stuff like that. I do scentwork trials with her and she's spot on to be fair. She's a tiny little dot of a French Bulldog and she aces every search. I took her over to the ice cream van at the Armed Forces Weekend to get her a cornet, on the way over the field she switched on and found a bong. 🤣 It's not hard to do but yeah, it's down to resources, the dog section has been decimated. They do have sniffer dogs working, I've seen 2 of them a few times outside of the South Stand. They need to get them working round the other side of the stadium.

Would that be allowed? You've also got to consider the wind load risk, it wouldn't be simple that.

They've had it in continental stadiums, I'm no expert but it's something the club should look at. So many positive things around the club but the lack of awareness about genuine fan issues, safety, TO and club shop is really poor to be honest.

My SC is in the North Stand and their fans were subject to Sniffer Dogs. One lad actually got stopped but looked like it was for gear rather than weapons.

If it was for weapons every one would have been stopped, total weapons one and all.

If somebody gets hit and hurt the club will have a liability. This is a public forum and we know the club read it.

So, a simple message. Do something about this kind of behaviour. Now.

They might issue us with safc branded builders hats like they did with poncho's when the North extension was being built🤔

If it costs them more than a quid they will do fuck all. Maximum income minimum outlay is the name of the game, the carry on this week with the tickets and shop proves it

They’ll take notice if someone gets hurt and sues them for negligence. Ridiculous situation where people can be seriously hurt going to a football match. Needs to be properly addressed.

That announcement and message on the scoreboard was a bit pointless anarl.
Stewards looked clueless as ever. Some bloke was going livid about the glass bottle, they didn't seem to care or know how to react

I didn’t think we sold any glass in the ground but saw some wine today and that looked to be in a glass jar. A good size for lobbing if so.
It’s going to need to be a Perspex sheet at the front to stop anything coming down,that will spoil it for the non arsehole element
 
Remember when the club stopped fans attending training sessions cause a supporter was hit by a ball.& think got sued they soon stopped fans going to the sessions

I’ve just seen the photo of row 13 (after that family left). Im not easily shocked but it’s a miracle no one was seriously hurt

I saw the smoke bomb, then a lot of people getting very irritated with their fans. Do not allow them to bring their own stewards or ban them completely, just read that again, just ban the cretins

I'm guessing they'll have brought it in with them. The bars in the concourse won't serve glass
