Found myself on the front of a football hooligan book in Waterstones about 10 years ago because of that. Bloke beside me was 'remonstrating' with some Sunderland fan who'd thrown a pie at him by throwing some punches in return. I believe that was an instigator for the whole thing. Proper s*** storm that day. They should ban pies instead of flares they cause all manner of problems. Don't bully meh !! Agreed, Those stale pies they sell at Birmingham would take your head off.

angieram Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 This is what we were up against on Saturday. The concourse was a no-go area. Can't do a search that identifies those tiny flares. They were everywhere. Keep out of the concourse and hope one doesn't land on you when they start throwing them.

Wasn't even aware there was a concourse until I saw a video this morning. We were at the other end, in the last block to sell tickets. An open corner between the turnstiles and the stand. 1x burger van, and a dozen or so portaloos! Entry along the front of the seats only! That particular concourse, at that particular time, looks horrendous, in all honesty! jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am glad me and my dad got into stadium early in those conditions I could have asthma attack and maybe missed the game. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foreveram Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 I was in both parts of the stand, my ticket was for the original allocation but I got tickets for my son and grandson in the last allocation at the far end so we had to go through turnstiles at opposite ends of the ground. We were talking to each other across the barrier and a lady steward told me go through the gate and sit with them. We were on the front row and that burger van was doing very well as there was a steady stream of fans walking in front of us for most of the match. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our disabled supporters were incandescent at the end of the game as they'd missed the entire second half due to those dancing in front of them. The stewards did nothing about it.

Gutted I was in the 90s when he died and the council closed the city centre for his funeral parade. I hoped for a bevy of scantily clad ladies acting as pall bearers carrying his coffin at a speeded up pace. With maybe that little bald guy having his head slapped as a bonus. Instead it was a sedate procession of black limousines through crowds of upset looking people. It's not what benny would have wanted.... ?

I think it is hard for a steward to say to them to sit down most likely as soon as there back are turned people standing stright back up. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B4ev6is Posted May 3, 2022 Author Share Posted May 3, 2022 The only other thing the steward could have done open up empty block were they could sit down but even then I think they would still had same issue. angieram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
