Above row Z at Falmer

[Notters]

Kuipers could do it if his invisible 200ft wall got in the way.

But you accept there's an increased risk of bat/ball collision?

 

[Everest]

But you accept there's an increased risk of bat/ball collision?

You're thinking of the County Ground

 

[Philzo-93]

250-1 Mid air collision with a plane
100-1 Train derailment
50-1 Motorway pile up
Evens Duck gets it.

no way will it be that small

They're virtually impossible

It couldn't reach the M23 from Falmer, surely?

Thread starter, are you seriously worried about what would happen if a football landed on the railway line? The answer is precisely nothing, a train weighing a few dozen tons is not going to be remotely affected by a small leather football languishing on the track. People stand in front of trains to commit suicide, the train just carries on going, christ I was on a train once that hit a cow, didn't so much as feel a bump but f*** me it was messy. Trains even hit cars without managing to derail so quit blathering on about a poxy football landing on the line.

Trains are fitted with cow catchers to deal with stray bovines. No such measures are in place to protect against footballs inflated to high pressure, the consequences are too horrific to contemplate.

What if a ball lands in the duck pond, think of the poor ducks! WILL SOMEONE PLEASE, THINK ABOUT THE DUCKS!

Dont forget the BATS. Its all about the BATS. You BATIST.

IF (and i'm not saying it is and i'm not saying its not) a ball lands on the line, the rails are raised, and the train has a bit of clearance so it'll sit there quite happily. If by amazing astronomical odds the ball lands, and sits perfectly on a rail, when a train approaches the rails vibrations from the train THUNDERING along will move it to the side where it'll sit for the rest of our lives, or on to the track where it'll rest and be chilled.

No I am not worried, I am just wondering if a plan was on place that was all. I am free to ask, christ calm down have a cup of tea and arrest a few ppl, blimey.

 

[surrey jim]

Probbaly more chance of someone dropping a football when crossing the footbridge

 

[Clive Walker's slaphead]

Not a problem now Virgo has gone

[mcshane in the 79th]

No-one come too close to it yet......

 

[bn1&bn3 Albion]

Noone was going for it with his free kick though.

 

[Giraffe]

Can't see anyone clearing any of the roofs... until maybe the Palace donkeys turn up

 

[GYM]

Probably more chance of it happening at Crewe.

 

[Fungus]

The ball must have bounced across the Old Shoreham Road a few times in the Goldstone days, but the biggest problem was waiting for someone to retrieve it. Too many lost balls and the game might be abandoned. Not such a problem these days.

 

[¡Cereal Killer!]

What will happen if the ball hits the Big Screens? Or are they ball proof?

Must be, also fan proof as well I would hope!
