The Safety of Fans in the North Stand

[luvulongtime]

Lemons were apparently thrown over today, who brings a bag of lemons to a match?

Someone who's smuggled a bottle of gin and tonic in

Ah cry more

There ya gan again cause you’ve had a couple of sherbets. Billy big bollocks

This Steve Neil, not 100% familiar with him is he this mag security officer people mention often?

Yes that’s the prick. He’s the one with the safety authority over a match day. Ex copper and spouts some absolute bollocks if you ever have the displeasure of listening to him

Ceylon tea since 6pm.
Wrong again, now if you would like to take this to a pm then fine, if not try and stay on the subject

This ownership/board only care about one thing and it’s not the safety of the fans.

The club have left themselves in the position where leaving the away fans where they are is no longer an option. I fully expect there to be a statement on Monday with what they plan to do about it.

I was told it was a good thing if I chose not to renew as it would mean I'd stop clamouring for the Aways to be put in the south stand, but this genuinely is it for me. I've renewed obviously but whether I cancel my dd all boils down to the clubs next steps in the matter. A kid in a wheelchair today man, he must have been terrified. I'm devastated for the lad, and embarrassed by the club.

Nothing can happen till this time next year now renewals have already happened. You can't move people from seats they've already paid for.

Says it all then really, a mag as our “safety officer”

Clearly he holds Sunderland supporters in contempt

Moving the away fans isn’t the only solution available (maybe not even the best one). A proper Perspex screen could be installed. Granted that would take time and planning permission and probably couldn’t be done for the start of next season, but if they said they were working on it and we had to put up with it for a few months or whatever they’d get a lot more good favour from the fans than whitewashing the issue every single time

Think he’s a Mag rugby fan not fitba.
Not that it really matters

I think he was referring to the ticket office knuckle dragger

So long as that's accompanied by swingeing cuts in allocations to clubs who've offended this season.

Even worse if he picks rugby over football

We can discuss the two legends in you avatar.

I’m the bogeyman

The problem is, both will attract negative attention and the club don't want it. We could shift the aways in the summer but it costs money

If the aways are to stay in the NSU then the police bill needs to be doubled. The club also has to be much nastier

They need to stop worrying about f***ing negative attention from away clubs then and get it put in. Who gives a fuck of away fans views are damaged by a net or screen.

No mate from what I’ve gathered there’s two, Steve Neil being the safety officer in charge of the stadium and the other is some mag employed by alpha security to look after the queues at the ticket office. The latter is apparently starting on fans every home game and calling them derogatory things.

Oh didn’t know there was another Mag knacker there. Steve Neil is definitely a mag prick though, that I can confirm

Could definitely be done in 4 months mate

Aye right you are, they are legends like

Is that different to the boogeyman?
But aye let’s not derail this anymore.
Fwiw I actually agree with ya that they won’t put them back anywhere near the south stand just don’t agree with how you put it across and wind up fellow fans on what is a sensitive subject for all

 

[seaham ftm]

People need to get over about moving them back to the south stand. They aren’t moving there
