crookesowl Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 I think this is all linked to the lower capacity. With certain restrictions in place it's cheaper to police and steward the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same happened every time there was a corner at the Kop end too. Was so bizarre it became amusing, but even more so when it happened at the Lep end with no fans there to hold back should a goal go in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birley Owl 1867 Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 It's been closed most of season. No biggie. Just us preparing for the eventual day when it had to be shut full time in the prem, making sure everything is safe. We dont half have a good few moaners on this site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musingowl Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Noticed this after the Wolves game and thought it was borderline dangerous the amout of people bottlenecked under the South Stand. Had a season ticket on North for 10 years and only trouble I ever saw in that time was a bit of shouting and arm waving after an Oldham match around 2003. Why the chuff fans exiting from the south stand is now considered a risk is utterly nonsensical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgmetcalf Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Thought this myself, I could understand it perhaps if they bought a fair few and let's face it, most fans are sensible these days and don't truck with aggro. Besides, I was under the impression that any scuffles in recent years have happened away from the ground e.g. Hillsborough or town. Personally I'm not too bothered about walking a bit further it's just that funneling home like that slows them down and when you have to walk to the car or public transport, you're either going to miss it, which is never good for evening matches, or get stuck in a massive jam. It's like SCC and their crappy one-way systems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgmetcalf Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I think the south stand could have a few more bridges over the river, perhaps one each side of the main one ... and open the park gates opposite the main entrance whilst we're at it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone...club , council or waterboard made the section of river from road bridge on Leppings lane to existing foot bridge completely covered over as a wider walk way then no problems at all to all fans and lower risk from flooding. Simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevan Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 On a slightly different (although linked in a way), - I notice that they have increased the number of turnstiles for away fans at Leppings Lane end and reduced the number for home fans getting into the North Stand. Seems totally over the top to me, bearing in mind how few visiting fans normally attend the majority of matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alan48 Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 We've seen many a flare up in the S stand , but it's usually to do with the arthritis when we've climbed all those steps . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
