royalowlisback Posted March 14 Author Share Posted March 14 I remember the capacity of the away end being reduced after this 'event'. I think we appealed it and got 'some seats' back but not the full amount - anybody know the difference now with the pre-Newcastle game away end capacity - and the current one?

Jim Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Probably won’t happen for quite a while for obvious reasons but we need to move to a brand new stadium IMO. Too many problems and too much baggage surround our current home at the moment. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SettleForADraw Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Admittedly a load of testicles, but this won’t end until that end is completely condemned or someone with a bit of foresight invests in the infrastructure of the club, tears the end down and replaces it. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Leeds fans seemed to manage fine with steps, seats, booze and the evening time. This is after the changes have taken place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough, nice to see a blunt councillor sticking his oar in ! He's not a councillor, he's an officer. Councillors are elected. This chap isn't a politician and "sticking his oar in" about safety at sporting events is his job. I reckon maybe we should listen to him given that people being injured or killed at Hillsborough is the LAST thing we need. I'm amazed that's a thing I even had to type. In fact I'm bloody gobsmacked at the excuses some of you in this thread are making for Chansiri's shocking management of our stadium, just because this happened to away fans and not ours. No one NEEDS to be injured for a crowd situation to be dangerous. It doesn't take much for a tight space to become a crush. FFS. 3 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pre Newcastle was 4500, post was 3700, now back up to 4100 (for the Coventry game) but Leeds only got the 3869. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHooter Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 They had a rotten night, there were loads of empty seats so what details are provided to justify a near miss?? and what is the definition of a near miss in this context anyway? A full safety assessment inquiry was carried out and major changes made post "Hillsborough". Those measures are in place. I think its got more to do with it getting a bit fashionable to have a go at us given the past tragic event. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrysgame Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Don't get this seen far worse away ends than ours. What is it with ours? Newcastle a case in point, steep and high up, even Ipswich away no room on their concourse steps every where and iron girders etc. Nor saying they are dangerous but why us.

everydays_wednesday Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 If there was an away crowd of 100 in Leppings Lane and someone fell over and broke their arm, it would always be the curse of Hillsborough. i am 62 and have watched Wednesday since the late 60’s but boy do we need to move to a new ground ASAP, or people on on here in their 30’s will in 30 years time when I am pushing up daisy’s, be starting and or reading the exact same thread as this !! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Whitecap Owl Posted March 14 Popular Post Share Posted March 14 FFS - bring up the "97" again... that was a totally different scenario with Maggy Thatcher's fences and the inept SYPD.... There is NO WAY this story should have included ANY reference to one of the darkest days in English football... Blatant sensationalism at the expense of the innocent victims of the Hillsborough disaster.... RIP 11 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one NEEDS to be injured for a crowd situation to be dangerous. It doesn't take much for a tight space to become a crush. FFS. To add a bit of background to the discussion here’s what the HSE say about near misses - they expect business to record their occurrence & learn from them….. “Near misses are less severe than accidents. However, near misses should not be ignored or treated lightly, as they can provide valuable insight into how well you are managing health and safety in your workplace. This record book will allow you to see if there are any patterns in when or how things go wrong. A pattern of near misses provides an early warning that something needs attention. It makes good business sense to be proactive and take action early when problems are likely to be less serious. Near misses may seem trivial but they are a valuable source of information. Taking time to review the underlying causes is likely to reduce risk, improve health and safety, and save you time and money.” 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Critical of stadium setup where nobody got injured and was just their fans been lazy and dumb Turn a blind eye to been owned by a state where people are killed for sexual preference Newcastle fans just behind the scousers as the most unlikable fans in the country 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dukeries Owl Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Absolutely nothing happened at a football match between Sheffield Wednesday and Newcastle, a total of precisely nobody was harmed or injured. National press brands Sheffield Wednesday "A Disgrace" Appropriate punishment seems certain to follow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
