geriatricowl Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 I have been going to Hillsborough for over 60 years. I have taken my children and grandchildren regularly I can honestly say that I have never once been concerned about our safety. I was shocked when I read the statement issued by Sheffield council. That statement has now left me absolutely convinced this is political. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF this was abroad or at certain clubs in the UK then the fans would be in absolute mass revolt. There'd be organised protests and a strong arm of resistance against the 'smearing authorities'. What can we do as fans that has an impact apart from keep complaining online or writing emails? Wait for the responses first. Don't play into their hands and be painted as the problem.

Twitter, Facebook, Instagram etc etc . I would send this out and tag all the clubs in our division, The FA and football league -: Sadly due to restrictions placed on swfc by Sheffield City Council and South Yorkshire Police , all away fans will be banned from Hillsborough until further notice If you would like to raise issue with this please contact @sheffield council and @South Yorkshire Police or write to....e-mail...etc etc etc Wouldnt work Snoots.

Their own actions sheer incompetence played a huge part in the disaster (both the council and SYP) and on top of that we refused to play along with moving to Don Valley. It's revenge time. corrected it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preferably armed with chips & curry sauce from the chinese. It's still a through road & a public right of way on match days. A couple of Father Ted type placards; Down with this sort of thing.

For every malicious comment they make there should be an eruption of facts and counter. We can blast out 10,000 tweets at a time to counter every statement of theirs. We have young and more technology/networked sussed young supporters than me who could easily create an online tsunami against these slithering clowns.

Its not hiding, it’s just recognising it was a poor post. Poor post? Do you believe what you said in your swifly deleted post? If you do, why delete it, have the courage of your convictions and stand up for your beliefs, popular or not, fact or BS. If you don’t believe it, why did you post it? You don’t have to answer, or justify your opinions to me (or anyone). I have however made my mind up about you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's remember that councillors are just ordinary everyday people and some are not the brightest but would rather sit on couple of committees and claim expenses, rather than have what I consider to be a proper job. BUT also remember they are voted to be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In order to ensure you can meet your promise I'll outline my matchday experience. My journey to matches involves traveling on heavily potholed roads, roads which are sometimes gridlocked due to generations of inadequate town planning or simply road works which spring up at the worst possible times, like those arranging them don't consider any outside factors such as football matches being played locally on the very same night as a one night Street closure for road works (funnily the road works never seen to be in place to fix the potholes)... more often than not I end up walking, down streets which are often no-go areas after dark due to inadequate streetlighting. My path crosses numerous ne'er-do-wells who are either actively intimidating, spiced off their boobies or otherwise public nuisances due in no small part to the lack of adequate local policing levels which means the crimes they commit go unpunished and they remain free to roam the streets. I often turn my ankle on litter left lying on the pavements, though this is partially my fault as I'm normally too busy looking at the latest offensive graffiti adorning the sinkhole estates left to go to ruination by those with authority over them (side question: do you happen to know who has authority over these council estates?). I don't always walk, occasionally I will cycle, along the fantastic cycle network of Sheffield which has cycle lanes stopping abruptly, throwing me at the mercy of a dual carriageway, or cycle lanes with the aforementioned poor streetlights built across them, forcing me to once again merge into fast moving traffic or into pedestrians. In light of the above I genuinely welcome your promise to resolve these issues, then maybe once you are no longer headquartered in a glasshouse, you can look at that pesky Sheffield Wednesday without displaying ridiculous levels of double standards in regards to safety.
