The Safety of Fans in the North Stand


Hoy a net up. If stuff still gets chucked then massively reduce that clubs allocation to the point where it’s impossible to chuck anything far enough to cause harm. If the club with the reduced allocation have a problem they can take it up with the cowards throwing stuff.

Quite why I or any other Sunderland fan should be moved to accommodate away fans acting up is beyond me.

just keep reducing allocation until they only have 1 row all the way along the back of the stand
 
Agree if that’s what it takes. I’d give Coventry fuck all next time personally. Hard on the decent fans which they have plenty of but tough shit frankly. Someone’s gonna get a serious injury if it continues as it is
All these suggestions -

like reducing the allocation for any club chucking stuff ( and sit them right at the back -out of range)

like stewards “stewarding” and police “policing” searching etc etc

like CCTV being used to catch the perpetrators and ban them

are all perfectly possible and doable actions. There is obviously not the will do anything.
 
Apparently it was a e-cigarette that was chucked and it hit a child.

I’ve been highly critical of the club in the past, but they got it right today. Stopping the game and drawing attention to the incident was the right thing to do
Just behind me, I'm not sure if it hit the bairn or just missed him. His dad was, unsurprisingly, absolutely furious.

Money.
 
If they dint get a grip of this -the daft young uns looking for a fight at the aend of the game will grow -they feel spurred on “ to protect “ those that are annoyed below where the missiles are thrown .
You cannot expect people in minimum wage to wade in ( stewards ) but you can the Police to make arrests of evidence it there .
You can see the anger building in the ground -it should be dealt with by those paid to do so .
