Just had a mad idea.

People are saying that we want the loud fans behind the goal. Others are saying that the rowdy fans want to be near the away fans.

Could we put away fans in smaller section of seats underneath the boxes?

Our fans could then go behind the goal but still be relatively close, plus you could block off an area in the corner but not lose too many seats and thus need fewer stewards to guard it.

Trying to remember where the entrance/exit points are for that side and whether it would be possible to have the away fans exit safely that side with the coaches picking them up.

Not possible due to the layout of the boxes. Also, you enter in the North Stand for those blocks.

A day will come when we play someone like Brentford or Bournemouth in the Premier League midweek with an allocation of 1800 (as Crewe did in this picture) and we'll have the whole South stand and corner as a singing section.

Even against the big clubs, they'd get an extra block and we'd have half the South Stand.

We can dream.

Here’s what the club said the issues were:
View attachment 28180
Frankly throwing a flare should be a lifetime ban, yet we’ve seen away fans do it with no comment or measures against them.

The rest are pretty much nothing “anti social behaviour and shouting abuse” and falling over during celebrations.

It’s not a family area, just like any section of any ground with those types of fans in.

The overcrowding could be solved just by checking everyone’s tickets and by opening up more space like block 13. If we can do it for season tickets why not paper ones?

If your stewards can’t or won’t enforce the rules you say are vital, what’s the point of them?

It's incredible that they closed a block and an extra 300+ seats to solve overcrowding.

Unfortunately, they've done their thing and it's worked. They must be laughing at this thread.

Like others have said, it has and will lead to another section in block 2/3. Now that would be difficult to police.

It's not a job I would want to do but the stewarding doesn't work. Recently a steward wanted to speak to someone near me for smoking during the game. Everyone around the guy ignored the steward and he kept on with hello, excuse me, you can't smoke here etc from the steps. In the end he crept away, looking weak and ineffective to everyone in the area and the guy carried on smoking. It's a minor thing but it shows they have no real authority. I was searched going in last Saturday (59 year old woman). Lads in front of me said when asked that they were all under 16. There's no way they were under 16 but they walked through without being searched.

Exactly. I don’t see why they seem to have less ability than your average club bouncer to kick people out. Or at least call a copper over.

Once again if the club had a CEO of any standing he'd challenge the safety advisory group

That’s a fair point, I doubt it. Maybe getting a few with a badge would be worth it in that corner.

Like PSCOs you could have a bunch without power of people know they can call in the heavies if needed.

Because fans are taking the piss you spanner. If fans are breaking the rules they need to be kicked out. Then they’ll stop. Currently there’s no danger at all in telling a steward to piss off or refusing to move out someones seat or whatever and there should be.
