Rodger Wylde Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 It doesn't say anything about entering/exiting the South Stand via Leppings Lane. I guess this is ok then, which if correct seems to make the closure of the Leppings Lane North Stand turnstiles a little pointless. Or have I missed something?

Bleeder Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 5 minutes ago, shez owl said: It now smacks as a vendetta.....Pig fans throw bottles, smash up away fans coaches, chuck fireworks, charge away fans outside their turnstiles, but nothing is ever said or done. maybe now they’re in the prem it will get reported more and they’ll be seen as the scum champ fans know they are and SYP are shamed for doing nothing, but I won’t hold my breath. Don't necessarily think that there's a vendetta but certainly agree that there are some obvious double standards here. We generally have a pretty well behaved set of fans in comparison to many. For a Friday night 'derby' game the trouble was little more than 'handbags' and was very easily avoided. Totally over the top response imo.

uptheowls69 Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Turn this into a positive.....make fans in the North Leppings Lane end walk though the 'gift shop' like they do at theme parks. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, the club statement doesn't mention the South Stand but the explanation from SAG does say no entry or exit for the South Stand as well. So that will be approx. 2,000 fans entering/exiting via Leppings Lane and 28,000 entering/exiting via Penistone Road/Parkside Road. Great idea!

owls maniac Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Where in the country do you not have away fans immediately mixing with home support? Outside the Lane last year we were straight into them. It's total victimisation. We have had games at Hillsborough for 30 years since 1989, and I bet our safety record stands up to any other league club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geedee Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 (edited) There is no justification to bring the unfortunate events of 1989 up, again and again. It can't happen again there are no fences!!! Imo Hillsborough is as safe and equally as dangerous as any stadium in the country. Accidents and violence can happen a repeat of that disaster cannot. We don't need to move to make if safe, it is safe or at least as safe as large public events can ever be ffs Edited August 9, 2019 by Geedee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doubleo Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 (edited) The timing is interesting - Duckenfields re-trial next month - just wonder if his defence will bring this up ? - deflecting blame onto the design of the Ground.

S36 OWL Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 I don't know who are more incompitent , SY keystone cops or the pen pushers at SAG ..neither are fit to run a p155 up in a brewery . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitsmoor-blue Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Someone will get killed on Penistone Road unless the stop the traffic before and after the game, we have had several near misses. Adding all of the North Stand onto Penistone Road will only make this worse. Safety Action Group my arse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just glad my ST is in the South. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
