Committee must find a way of allowing standing at our new home a couple of rows at the back wont work IMO It'll take care of itself. Folk will generally go to the same general area for most games. One of those areas will become a standing section, whether it's a bit with rail seats or not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a bold statement without knowing the stewarding policy. Let’s not forget the Gretna Six. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not conducive to creating any sort of atmosphere. We do know the stewarding policy, which is to treat pensioners as ISIS fighters returning from Northern Syria. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of interest , were you able to stand at the Killie away LC game last season/season before? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harlowspider Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 A few familiar faces in here. Oh dear, I haven’t aged at all well.Must have been taken in 75 or 76 as both Alexander brothers are pictured. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
an86 Posted November 26, 2019 Author Share Posted November 26, 2019 Joffrey Lidouren with six assists in thirteen games, Salim Koudier-Aissa with double figures, Galt doing Galt things. Now that we can, we're surely already talking to these guys about next season? Not the only ones either btw. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although we were in the terrace last time out, we’ve been seated previous seasons and it’s always a poor atmosphere with no singing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contrast with Methil and it’s a different atmosphere. The boys and girl at Palmerston got the balance right.But all these grounds got stands on the back of the Taylor Report. We don’t need that baggage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stewards are like the gestapo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember doing it once ( scenes when Longworth smashed in that last minute winner against Shire ) Not sure how we got away with it that day. As folk have touched on, it all boils down to fans and stewards being sensible. Fans who want to stand should go up the back - no standing in front of folk who want to sit. Those who want to sit should do so below those standing. If we can sort that out between us then hopefully we will also employ stewards who can apply common sense, however we all know that could be the major stumbling block. A proper standing area big enough to group everyone together would help negate most of the above. Members of our committee who read this site take note please. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stewards will be paid for by the club. They will do what they are told to by the club. The club washes its hands of what the stewards currently do because they are said not to be hired by the club. All the nonsense of searching almost all the fans must stop. For god's sake it doesn't happen at any of the other lower league grounds or even at Ibrokes or Parkhead. I know that the Irnbru ultras have a fearsome reputation but enough is enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, the current company have a contract in place with HPL for all events at the stadium (we pay their costs for our games) however I've been told by a good source that the current directive to search fans has come from our club ( it's never happened to me at Scotland games so I did wonder) By all accounts it's seen as a high profile venue - even at our games - for dafties trying to smuggle in pyros (not kidding) Funny how they only ever ask us if we have cans or bottles mind you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that's a bit worrying, a lack of trust of our support or was it really introduced for the benefit of clyde/cowdenbeath fans ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From memory the last time there was a pyro incident in league 2 was when sevco played at Annan. A sevco fan damaged the newly laid pitch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
