The Safety of Fans in the North Stand

Hank Scorpio said:
I’ve already moved my family for next season mate. I’ve had the same seats for years but it’s not worth the aggro anymore

I saw the disabled fan leaving and it was heartbreaking.

Where the fuck is the club statement highlighting the bellend behaviour? It’s almost like they are embarrassed

Honestly the mother in tears and the kid obviously distressed having to leave the ground is a new low.... And nowt gets done.
Absolute shit show man.

It’s an absolute disgrace and needs to be picked up by local media at least to embarrass the club. Can’t stand those in charge at our club - if Steve Neil had a modicum of integrity he would realise he’s clearly not fit to be in charge of the safety of 48,000 people week after week and resign

Been in touch with Neil after the match so will see what comes back from that.

You are a shambles on this thread mate. I suggest you attend the north stand for a game with some young or vulnerable members of your family and experience it for yourself. A son, daughter, nephew or niece or whatever and see how you feel about it after that.

No shambles at all, I’ll stick to my original supposition many months ago that Perspex or a net needs to be installed.

Now off you pop and have a glass of wine, get that blood pressure of yours down.

Read the posts in context ya crying fanny.
If you can’t do that, let me know and I’ll type it out in correlation for you to understand, seen as yer a being a bit dramatic and misreading what’s been written.

Sure a Perspex screen needs installing. Whilst it hasn’t been installed and is continually ignored by the club hierarchy the fans have every reason to complain about it. The solution is very simple and obvious to all, apart from the tight bastards who won’t pay for it

Your second comment is completely unnecessary and very patronising

Unnecessary and patronising is what you have been to me all night, I just gave you a slice back.

You're just a bellend who's commenting on a thread where you've not been physically impacted by this.... Have a word with yourself man.

I would have to be a pretty massive perspex screen and how far along would it go? A net with a couple of runners to extend it if the away team has a decent amount of fans in would be ideal. Kinda like indoor footy pitches. Wouldn't stop the smaller objects mind.

I guess the reason why people are getting wound up is neither a net or Perspex is showing any likelihood of being installed

Now for two matches in a row smoke bombs have been hurled towards Sunderland supporters 100ft below - and that includes kids and people in wheelchairs

Amongst many other missiles apparently

Nobody appears to have been held responsible

And yet you are having a pop at fellow fans instead of those with responsibility for sorting this at the club?

Why?

Ajax have one. Think it just goes from the barrier to the roof, so effectively keeps the away fans behind a barrier, thus making throwing things down physically impossible.

The HSE cites an ALARP principle to dictating what is justified in safety concerns like this - if an option is excluded purely on a cost basis then that cannot be justified in the eyes of the law.
