How is it? Anybody can get crushed, even at wembley


Because Aaron, the risk of there being a crush has been utterly "health and safety" risk assessed to the "N"th degree. There is ALWAYS risk to anything we do as human beings, even walking up the street, but design of stadia, the layout of seats etc means there is mitigation and there are procedures in place to minimise the risk of a crushing incident ever happening again at a football match. Your argument is so utterly flawed that I think you're taking the urine. That's why it's tosh.

Quoted from jamesgtfc
Regular barriers to prevent crushing. I would make the whole Pontoon standing and the Lower Findus if it were to happen at BP.

Doesn't the away end have to be a certain percentage of capacity? If so I would then remove seats as necessary in the Osmond Stand - cant remove too many if we are arguing that seats ruin atmospheres!

Whilst on topic why does the Pontoon roof point to the sky? Surely the sound would be much better of it pointed towards the pitch - like the Osmond does?

Yes but you can't live your life being worried about potential risks. As biccys said p, risk assessments are in place to minimise danger and 99.9% of the time they work!!

Hi all,


Feedback would be appreciated.
decent post

personally I prefer seated areas as I find I enjoy the game more -more comfortable sitting down as opposed to standing up.However standing areas in some parts of the stadium is a good idea provided like you have outlined they follow the German model and restrict numbers(I feel they also may entice some back to Blundell park given the cheaper seats)


One life,one love .

People are risking their lives in wars and your worried about getting hurt in a stadium where safety is paramount anyway. MAN UP! Standing works in lots of lower league grounds across the UK anyway why not here?
