Tricky1884 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Did anyone think it got a bit silly at half time yesterday in the South stand. Derby fans claiming on the fence and lopping beer etc. Some got this kid in the face with a pint. And i almost got pushed over by a youth running a the fence when he saw a forest fan. Im disabled and have picked not to sit where i am next season not because i dont like the singing etc but because i dont feel safe sometimes. so i guess it wont effect me but think it would be a shame after wanting it for so long the police or club said we couldnt do it if it kept happening.

Above all else you should feel safe sitting with our own fans; the people around you should treat you with respect as should everyone around them.

davenportram Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 There was stuff coming back over too. yes it was a bit silly. So was the lobbing coins at the forest fans after the game when were taken through the car park under escort. Simple solution - put a barrier above the gates. Put permanent solid barriers along the police escort routes. Simples Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsmini Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 The south stand move was brilliant yesterday.... However there was a lack of control in parts of the stand. Everyone standing up the whole game didn't help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladyram Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Nobody was going to sit down for this one and if ever there was an advert for safe standing, that was it. From a safety point of view there were no problems from what I saw, especially when Bryson first scored and the whole stand just went mental.

B4ev6is Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 But i like standing up my self but i sat down for most the game but when you have thosands of people doing it nrothing police or stwards can do about it and thats what southstand is used so people can stand up and chant all game long if some people dont like it they should sit in toyater stand were no singers at all.

ladyram Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Toyota stand was very loud yesterday B4, it sounded really good but we were almost in the corner next to Guthrie Stand, so depending on where you were you might not have been able to hear them.

Day Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 How many children were injured at the game? I bet more were at Marketon Park yesterday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gritstone Ram Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I think anyone should be able to go to any game without the fear of trouble. Ok there are some people who want a bit of agro but that doesn't mean the kids have to join in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B4ev6is Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 So much with injuries but it can meantley scare them from.coming back to pp ever again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott_dcfc Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 This was a trial for the South Stand move, you have to go expect things to not run as smoothly as you'd like, as it's a trial. The club and police know now what they have to do better for next time. Awfully sorry to hear about you nearly being knocked over though, that is bang out of order. Luckily the fan that probably did that won't we at the IPro until we next play Forest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well our lads never had a problem at PP B4, but Dav refuses to take him to their place. He doesn't want me going either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curb Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I can hardly walk this morning thanks to raking my calfs and shins on the seats. Bloody dangerous things seats are in a football stadium, they should be banned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoetheRam Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I thought the whole point of the south stand was that it was a place where everyone could go mental, sing, stand, be pissed up without fear that they are ruining someone else's enjoyment of the game? If you don't like that kind of thing then sit somewhere else? The atmosphere yesterday was great with even the Gordon Guthrie and East stand joining in, it would be a shame if that kind of atmosphere was discouraged. Obviously coin throwing is moronic, but for the most part it just seemed that everyone was having a ball. Yes it got a bit boisterous - but that's Derby/Forest.

ladyram Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Lad was carried out from the back cos he was absolutely paraletic. Must have thrown up cos stewards went up with a mop, a bucket and some cardboard. (you'd be better off using sand, it absorbs the liquid better, and a yellow bag to put it in).
