marshy Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Penistone rd, Parkside rd, Leppings Lane. No chance of any problems then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latemodelchild Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Asked this in another thread but the supertram people said they'd cancelled trams because of safety and blamed swfc for not reducing Leeds allocation. What reduction would have seen them put trams on? How many away fans can they cope with? I honestly think there is an agenda to hurt our club now. This is an accident waiting to happen and the police are funneling people towards it. I am disgusted at the local media for their silence and inability to find out what is going on. The sag people need looking at first, is it true one of their members is on uniteds board? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nut Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 The club really needs to do something about this now. SAG/SYP are either incompetent or are trying to create more problems to beat us with. It's so obvious and we need to fight back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked a copper this on my way out the south stand about 6 weeks ago, and he said nobody can be held back because it’s against their human rights. I poo you not that was his response. When I pointed out I had been held back at numerous grounds he just shrugged and said it can’t be done. Bulllshit. I ask a steward exactly the same question while dodging coins with our young'un outside the north stand after the pigs game last season. His answer was we can ask them to stay in the ground but can't make them....never heard owt like it mesen. I've been kept in grounds all over the country and I can't remember ever been asked.

Himble Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 (edited) Seems to me like Stagecoach setting themselves up for problems if anything happens on the buses. Stopped the trams to protect their staff, okay we know what happened last year. If they allow them on the buses, however, does this mean they care less about the bus drivers. If a bus driver gets in trouble with the away fans, surely they can point at Stagecoach and say - "you knew there could be trouble, stopping the trams proves this, so why was I put in danger".

Drewswfc Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 How can he be allowed for fans to mingle on penistone rd/Parkside rd ect but can't possibly be anywhere near each other on leppings lane? Why are journalists not seeing what any experienced football fan in the country could see? SYP/SAG are fűčkîng idiots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handworth52 Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 so they telling leeds fans to get stagecoach bus to town but not trams .I guess then it must be a damage limitation as the 3-4 smashed up buses will cost less to repair than 3-4 trams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was just about to post the same. If they're going to misbehave on a tram, surely they'll misbehave on a bus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SYP/SAG are fűčkîng idiots you just don't get it this is all deliberate that's what they want as much trouble as possible ,so they can throw the book at us even though all these restrictions are due to them idiots. what should have happened is 8 cops per tram . thing is leeds can do what they want and have no penalties , while us they have an agenda .

A large number will have traveled by coach and car last season but that didn't stop the idiots that came on the train smashing up trams which is why there are no trams. Now these same idiots are being advised to get buses that travel along Penistone Road and get off at the stop before these buses reach the ground. What are the chances that many of their fans will stay on these buses until they reach the ground and then get off bang outside the Kop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nut Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 I doubt many Leeds fans will be coming from town by bus before the match. If they're coming by train they'll get off in Chapeltown then get taxis in once they've caused havoc there. It's what they do after the match thats the problem as there'll be no taxis back to Chap due to the road closures so they'll either get the bus to town or be hanging around in Hillsborough. What could possibly go wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdan2003 Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Have they cancelled the buses to S6 yet? You know, as a precaution in case drenched scum bag football fans wet the seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buxtongent Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Looking at this, I would expect, as an ex Manager, an instant 'Walk-out' of Stagecoach Bus drivers! I certainly would not go to work , and drive a bus, in these conditions. At least the tram Drivers were in separate compartments and offered some protection. This is not the case of Bus Drivers. Come on , Stagecoach workers , and stop all the traffic to and from Hillsborough. This would certainly bring this situation into the public forum, and prove the inadequacies of the SYP & SAG, and lend case that SWFC are being pin pointed for trouble..

Buxtongent Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Has anyone realised a fact which is blindingly obvious to me, but obviously not to SYP and SAS. The 'trouble-spot' was the exit from the ground at Leppings lane, which was relatively simple to barrier off. All this new 'plan' does is to create TWO trouble spots.- the exit over the bridge at the Main entrance, annd the much larger area down Parkside Road and onto its junction with Penistone Road Seems to me something drawn up by a consortium of EU Leaders, UK Politicians, Boris Johnsonn and Donald Trump, none of whom, though elected to represent the people, seem to believe that the pub;ic can either like what they want or lump it It's the same old story - the tail wagging the dog. We have Scottish, Welsh and Irish Parliaments, but we Brits have to put up with them interfering in OUR affairs. 20k+ Wednesdayites have to give way for a maximum of 4.5K Leeds supporters Maybe its time Weednesdayites had some say in their own affairs.
