Lincs Owl Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 36 minutes ago, Essix Blue said: Exactly. Been like that since Adam was a lad. 7,000 away fans leaving alongside North Stand home fans. Obvs since those days we’ve had some Neanderthal elements moving to North to shout at the away fans all game....... Unfortunately you've put your finger on it. If it wasn't for the 300 or so pointers and gesticulators who frequent that end, there wouldn't be a problem. Getting out at LL end is NOT dangerous for any normal fan of either side. Crossing Penistone Road when traffic is whizzing down the dual carriageway IS dangerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying that the few hundred fans that sit near the away section are the reason that the capacity has had to be reduced? The fans that, whilst tend to be a bit on the potty mouthed side, tend to be some of the only ones that constantly sing and tey to promote an atmosphere? Can't wait until the whole stadium is silent and everyone is sat down and tucked in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from the clash with the pigs last year which was entirely the fault of SYP i've never known of any incidents. It's another one of those faceless organisations which will continue to find fault in order to justify their existence. I wonder where their funding comes from ?

Hillsborough is outdated and would cost a fortune to get it back up to full capacity. The whole LL end needs to be levelled and rebuilt but would we still have the same problems with SYP and SAG ? Yes. Ridiculous or not ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's the choice of SYP - it shouldn't be the most expensive. I'm sure it's difficult to police football matches, but was it necessary to have a helicopter, drones, horses, surveillance vans, and riot vans, in addition to the extra police they brought in from other forces? They brought all that expensive resource in, but they still caused a lot of the issue's themselves. What has happened at Hillsborough in the last 20 years to warrant this vast police presence?

Yes. Ridiculous or not ? on that basis we would still have the same problem with SAG and SYP in a new stadium, the derby game was the most expensive at both grounds is anyone telling the pigs that they've got to move ground rotherham and doncaster have new grounds and have restrictions on them Root cause analysis all points to SYP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castleford Owl Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 We managed to use the full capacity of the ground throughout our Prem years, with the disaster still at the forefront of people's minds. What has changed so much, 30 years on, to justify the constant restrictions that we're put under? The fact we don't NEED the full capacity now is irrelevant; if/when we get promoted we'll need every single seat. I'm yet to see any report that actually justifies any of the ridiculous decisions being made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm yet to see any report that actually justifies any of the ridiculous decisions being made. What changed is an independent report being released several years ago. Ever since, then it seems like SAG and SYP have gone out of their way to reduce our capacity and make things difficult. They are petrified at the thought of an *incident* at Hillsborough. Might be completely wrong here, but is all if this latest nonsense to do with what happened in March against United? If so, then isn't this a case of SYP and co deflecting from their own utter ineptitude? Edited August 9, 2019 by SiJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only time I have had any trouble in 55 years is when a Forest fan ran past me in the 70s thumped my ear then stood 10 yards away goading me. He ran away when 3 big Owls approached him.

DobbinTheDonkey Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Dear supporters of teams visiting Hillsborough. Due to constraints you will be unable to leave the ground until 15 minutes after the final whistle. We apologise for this inconvenience but please bear this in mind before purchasing a ticket. Thank you for your compliance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
