Guest Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Watching the scenes at halftime (I sit just behind the "hole" entrance", it looked quite nasty down there. A mate was down in it and had never seen anything like it. Was it a case of everyone timing until the whistle to go down, or is the kop not suited to a full house?

Daavies; Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Awful stewards just letting people congregate at the top of the stairs doesn't help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Regulator Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 (edited) I was in that. Left our seats when the HT whistle went to go to the loo. Got back 5 minutes into the second half. Wasn't particularly nasty but it certainly shows how much the kop is crying out for redevelopment if it can't easily cope with being full.

NOT Tom Fisher Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 I left three mins before the whistle to beat the rush and I didn't get back to my seat until about 10 seconds before the restart. Was stood for about 10 mins at that entrance not moving anywhere and I couldn't even push my way through, and I'm a big lad. The stewards were causing the problem, about 10 of them stood up there with their backs turned to the traffic, they were blocking the flow so us moving out of the entrance couldn't get back onto the stand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiggy Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 It needs some organisation instead of the stewards stood around watching the free for all. Two sets of steps for coming up, two down. Also whoever put that tv bang at the bottom of the stairs needs to give their head a wobble. I swear some people would stop to check the scores of the place was on fire.

smhouston Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Stupid place for the TV. It certainly isn't ready for a full kop, rammed from at least 2:30 with the rain not helping because everyone stood in that area to shelter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't particularly nasty but it certainly shows how much the kop is crying out for redevelopment if it can't easily cope with being full. ^^^ This - stewards didn't appear to be aware to expect extra traffic in that area - did they not know all the restricted view seats were sold?? Major redesign needed - not enough entrances/exits/toilets/pies... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike312 Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Not quite sure what those stuards do apart from show you where to sit if you don't know. We could have ladies with trays and choc-ices for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horny owl Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Some of you need to get to more away games to see real gridlock Compared to other grounds facilities, ours is good And that's with twice as many people in as theirs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jordyowl Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 It was down to stupidity, stupid fans thinking that an entrance is a good place to stand and stupid stewards that didn't think to tell the stupid fans to move! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Grez Bez Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Made me realise the Kop isn't up to holding full crowds. Need more space back there and preferably another exit point from the stand to the concourse The former is easily achievable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richowl Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Never seen it like that before and the kops been full loads of times. For me it was down to poor organisation (stewards just stood there) & plonking a tv reight next to the gangway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
