Dot Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 It was a storm in teacup in my experience. turned up at 14.57 straight through the turnstiles and straight to my seat Left with about 30 seconds of added time to play, managed to get out relatively easily (although obviously larger crowds on Penistone road) no difference at all for me getting in or out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not an issue but a steward stopped me outside the North asking which stand I required. She said "this is the North stand" I replied "I know I've had a season ticket in it for the last 20 years" 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 2 hours ago, @owlstalk said: Anyone have any issues today? It's an accident waiting to happen We parked up on Middlewood Road and walked down Catchbar Lane to the junction with Leppings Lane, at the junction we were told we couldn't walk down Leppings Lane to the ground, I told the steward we were going to walk down Vere Road to the kop end, but we weren't allowed. I've recently retired from work through ill health having suffered two heart attacks last October, I can't walk very far without getting out of breath. I had to continue walking down Catchbar Lane to Penistone Road, and then pass the front of the kop by walking on the road because of people queuing to get into the kop. We finally made it to the North Stand entrance near the club shop to be greeted by queues to get in. After the game I couldn't walk all that way again, so I walked to Vere Road, there was Police and Stewards blocking the road, me and my son slipped past a copper and walked up Vere Road while he was talking. We arrived on Leppings Lane, but being the only two people in Wednesday shirts, a few Barnsley lads got a bit mouthy, we just walked past them, no coppers in sight, apart from a driver sat in every police van (with the engine running helping pollute the planet) We made it back to our car safely, but I was knackered Not sure what we will do if this practice continues, probably phone an ambulance when I keel over Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife.

Obviously beyond the capabilities of SYP commanders. Yep, this is exactly what a competent policing operation would involve. Unfortunately, SYP say traffic management around the stadium is not their responsibility. Hence, the cones closing one lane of Penistone Road belong to SWFC and are put there by SWFC staff. It’s an utter joke Edited August 10, 2019 by owltilidie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are allowed to ask questions Bob, good or bad imo. Sadly you will get some who jump on your back, without the ability to reason. Sad really.

northeastowl Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Saw someone get their foot ran over outside the off licence on Penistone Road. The officers were getting some right jib from the crowd who were blaming the decision on this happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dot Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Biggest issue today on the north was the bar service I honestly believed it could not get any worse....I was wrong It took an average of 2-3 minutes to serve each customer, so during an 15minute half time break they manage to serve 7 or 8 people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me and the lad were in colours but no one tried stopping us but we it was about 2.55 before and LL was deserted. After the game the stewards and police appeared to have either given up or were satisfied that all the Barnsley fans were on their buses. Next time you should protest and just continue to walk, I don't think stewards will physically try and stop you. Why can't they understand that those that want trouble will find it and the likes of you with health issues or I, and others, with children will avoid it.
