Moving forward that area with the turnstiles, bar, kiosk, toilets and stairway to the upper need some serious reconfiguration.


I would think the whole area is a health and safety hazard.

Aghhh! Can’t help it.

5 minutes in your youth?! I hope you used protection.

Touché 😆


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Absolutely! Potential disaster if there was ever to be an emergency evacuation. I’d say apart from obvious reasons the findus is arguably more of a fire/safety risk than the main stand.

I've already found three alternatives to the central and side stairways. To avoid the crush points on the crowded stairs I will either head for the roof via the camera gantry step ladder or slide down the drainpipes conveniently located at the back of the side stairs.

Meanwhile, if Dave Moore and the Caistor Mariners are planning another sponsored bike ride they could make it in aid of an external fire escape for The Upper Youngs?

    So, we're going have dancing girls at half time! Do these people realise what life is like in the lower divisions. They sit in their ivory towers thinking the world is normal in an 60 - 70k stadiums with bars on every level, we go to the toilet in a brick hut with a stainless steel trough and thats progress.

   Until the money the greedy premier league take, DOES come down to the grass root football you can stick your 25 minutes up your rectum.

   Sorry rant over.

The idea of 25 mins originated from safety issues apparent at Old Trafford this season.

25 mins would enable more United fans to leave OT safely at halftime when getting thrashed by Liverpool again.
