Spare seats at derbies

[finlaytheblade]

Just looking at the city ground ,notts v derby no groups of spare seats .It makes a mockery of south Yorkshire police.
Looks like the Hillsborough disaster is going to dog us forever ,the amount of police on duty at Sheffield grounds is enormous and police bill astromical for the Sheffield derbies.
.It's surely time for south Yorkshire police and the clubs to find a better way of doing things.

Not going to happen, SYP have the final sign off on the safety certificate. They have all clubs in the region by the balls, argue about anything and it’s games behind closed doors time.

According to chansiri the head honcho at sag is a grunter and very favourable toward THEM !

Did you see Celtic v Rangers? Barely 100 seats used for segregation.

It's inexcusable how we're treated by SYP and SAG.

SYP are still reeling after their mistakes were laid bare after the rust bucket inquests!!. They don't like anyone who dares to question their ability!.

Said this before, it's about time SYP were merged with one of the regions police forces who are more competent in policing matters (and not just relating to football issues).

The problem with the Sheffield Derby is that it happens relatively infrequently so when it comes around the Neanderthal element from both sides get so worked up that it becomes a tinderbox. The Old Firm have 4 of these a year and fans generally have learned how far they can push it, at least inside the stadium. I'm no fan of SYP but it can't be denied that there is some utter fucking vermin on both sides of the Sheffield divide.

The reason for the spare seats at swillsborough is because half of the stand is condemned, it's falling down.

To be honest it wasn’t that bad this year at Bramall lane was it?!? I’m not sticking up for them but there weren’t many seats that were screened off. I was shocked that they only blocked off about 3 rows where i was sat at the front of the lane end above their fans. The attendance was still over 30K wasn’t it?

I think their lot have a lot more gripe in regards to their stadium not being used better and the last thing i want is more pigs fans singing when we play away at their place

SYP still made a total bollocks of getting Blades to the Sty in September. Which they claimed was a success, in between lying about the facts.

Don't just think it is SYP.
I think the MET are just has bad, in the Arsenal v Watford(kind of a local Derby) today it looked like they insisted on a seat being left empty next to every fan attending.

I don’t think they do have more of a gripe tbh. I’m not saying this just because it’s them but their stadium infrastructure is far more antiquated than Bramall Lane.

Their concourses on their best stand (South) are very narrow and dingy. I know this because they’ve said it themselves on their forums. They’ve even had to remove the telly’s because it couldn’t cope with people standing looking at them. I’ve also been around it, not on a matchday admittedly, and believe me it compares very poorly with its equivelant at the Lane.

Leppings Lane speaks for itself and should have been demolished after the disaster. Nothings been done except putting seats in as a result of the Taylor Report. It has supporting pillars all over it and is a stand not fit for purpose.I doubt you’d find a Wednesday fan who’d disagree.

By comparison the Lane end at the Lane has bright wide open concourses and wide exits, unrestricted viewing, modern facilities (such as hot water in the toilets) which Hillsborough doesn't (anywhere)

No idea about the North but have been on their kop and it’s more basic than the Lane which is saying something.

The exits from Hillsborough are poorly laid out and not sufficient. One side is hemmed in by the river meaning you have four sides of the ground exiting out of three sides. The kop and half the South stand exit onto Penistone road, a major route of the city.

As at the Lane the away end converges with the home fans coming from the South and North, part of the reason why our capacity is restricted as well. But I don’t think it’s the stadium layout or adequate facilities that restrict the capacity at the Lane.

It’s the half witted dickheads out looking for trouble why we have seats netted off.

Not the case at Hillsborough. They obviously have even more half witted dickheads than we do, but it’s the ‘stadium’ itself which is their biggest problem.
