Anyone else think they got it wrong today ? Hearing stories of turn styles kept turning people getting in without tickets ? Radio reporting fight broke out on a walkway,have to say half time toilets etc was beyond a joke of crowding,tickets sold for front rows and brum then had them roped off,we had people next to us all on the stairs

Needs looking at tbh & reporting to the club

Half time was shocking lucky people got out ok tbh

 

[clint van damme]

Don't worry we'll be back down to 5000 for Bolton

It's not a good ground.

Atmosphere is okay and the location is good but the facilities are shite.

Agreed

Good atmosphere good ground but not built for a 50/50 split

I had a ticket for row 2 block 10, seat 148. Both row 1 and 2 were netted off....

Didn’t even bother queuing for the usual half time pie and a pint after the effort to get to my seat in the first place. It’ll be interesting to see if Brum handle it differently in the replay.

Stewards appeared to be non-existent. So many people drinking beer in their seats, and blatant with it. Didn’t really bother me, more so highlighted the lack of presence.

 

[PurpleBin]

Think it will be just a normal away allocation for the replay.

As long as we get both tiers, should be fine.

that really shouldn't be a problem in a civilised society.

absolutely not. It happens at other sports; Rugby, Cricket, Darts etc. yet football is tainted with the negative image. To be honest, it is warranted. There were some absolute bellends there today.

 

[Liquid Gold]

I don’t mind getting a bit cozy. Helps the atmosphere.

 

[Tommo1993]

The further football stays away from the ways of other sports, the better.

Half time was fucking riddiculous!

Took me 10 mins to get from the toilet back to my seat

I’m sure I read that they’d made plans to do something similar if it went to a replay.

I was in block 9, there was a toilet at the Main stand end of the Tilton Stand, but stewards were telling everyone to use the ones at the other end, because they were "out of order". Another reason the Safety team made an absolute balls up. The entrance to blocks 1 - 7 of the Tilton wasn't open, but was not shared in any way with other parts of the ground/Blues areas. We should have had the whole Tilton Stand, and I believe we'd have filled it.

 

[no_loyalty]

Chatting to a Blues fan on the way back to the station, he reckons now they are the home team for the replay, their fans won't be that interested.

 

[cc84cov]

Something needs to be done or reported anyway today could of ended up in a right mess with people injured etc they totally fucked it up

 

[Gint11]

I was behind the goal in the Tilton end. I thought it was weird being in the lower tier and having to leave the stadium via the higher tier but I think that’s just the layout of the land around the ground. The concourse was rammed but I got served by a van outside the entrance. Didn’t have a problem tbf

Actually that’s a good point.
In my health and safety training I’m sure I remember there’s like 750 near misses for every accident and similar for accidents to serious accidents. It was very dangerous an absolutely accident waiting to happen by block 16-18 with lots of young kids. The twats could see them but were so pissed up they didn’t give a shit. First time I’ve been scared that I couldn’t control what was happening

Just reflecting on yesterday.

That was the longest I have ever queued for the toilet and a drink in any ground I have been.

Was speaking to a few Blues before the game and they said that the stadium would never be able to hold the full 29k anymore due to it being unsafe to do so. Can now see why.

Was great having fans behind the goal for a home game and I'm sure the celebrations would have been phenomenal had O'Hare scored in front of them.

Hearing some horror stories today from people at work who were behind the goal getting crushed on way in - blokes in ladies toilets etc

Yeah I can imagine, I am the biggest on my street for my age and I was getting crushed so for smaller people / kids / OAPs it would have been horrible.

Plenty of people in the bogs just for the coke rather than having a shit. Amazes me how you can't take a bottle of ribena in for a child but you can take a bag of coke in.

The Ricoh is exactly the same with a large crowd. Big queues for toilets & bar

Maybe powdered Nesquik in little bags next time?
