The Safety of Fans in the North Stand

The club are backing themselves into a corner here. Either the EFL are going to order them to shut the Premier Concourse to protect supporters and/or somebody is going to get seriously hurt from a missile and the club are sued again. What comes first?


Just spend the £15,000 on retractable netting and get it over and done with. Can't see it happening before the Cardiff game so it's imperative that they use the World Cup break wisely

We the fans should raise the £15k as that will get massive media attention and embarrass the club hugely.
We can raise that for flags nee bosh so how about doing it to protect our own ?!?

Move them downstairs in the North Stand and relocate our fans currently in there. Has got to happen very quickly
Inconvenience for our fans but needs must I am afraid
 
Just started sitting in north again last couple of game after sacking it off follwing the Coventry game and the clubs admittal they didn't really give a shit about fan safety.

Just goes to show it can happen against anyone and is becoming an increasingly regular occurance.

Said it before and will say it again, someone will die in this country before long from pelting missiles from a great height. Probably some kid who did nothing to deserve it. And there’ll be a massive legal problem for the EFL, FA and the clubs involved. Only a matter of time.

I’ll continue to ring Steve Neill and continue to get platitudes and continue to keep it recorded for when something happens and whoever needs it can use it to take down the club.

Treating fans with utter contempt this.

He told me he wants a net but the club won't pay for one so I honestly can't even be arsed to chase it with him.

It would be done fairly quickly I'd imagine but this responsibilty doesn't fall on supporters. The club knew exactly what was going to happen months ago after the first incident (not that it was the first time tbf). They're neglecting the fact they've got a duty of care to supporters and the way it looks at the moment is, they're going to continue to do so until either the EFL tell them to buck their ideas up and potentially close that part of the stadium, somebody gets seriously injured and the club are sued or potentially both.

The lack of response from SAFC is disgusting.
 
Needs something done about. Also need to sort of out some of the charva teenagers in our support who go looking for trouble after games. Was a Burnley lad opposite the Wheatsheaf, covered in blood lying on the ground. Looks like he’s been kicked in the face.

Whilst I’m not condoning violence you don’t know what’s gone on there, hopefully he hasn’t been kicked to shite for no reason but fans are notorious for acting the biggun up here and getting a clip. Happened as recent as last week.

Another game, more missiles thrown down on to the Sunderland fans in the North Stand.

Coventry fans once again showing themselves up after acting all innocent in the build up to the game.

We need action to prevent this from happening again.

Coventry should get zero allocation when they next visit. It’s every time with them.

The lads he was with said he did nothing. Even if he did kicking someone in the head whilst on the ground, not really a fair punishment for acting the biggun is it?

Agree kicking in the face is a scum and a cowards trick, however of course he said he did nothing they were never going to say ‘aye mate we were letting our mouths go and looking for bother’
