Cardiff removed safety fence

[Yorkie]

The fence between the home and away fans has been removed


I'm glad we've already played them this season

Good. All fences should be removed. If people can't behave - throw them out and ban them.

The days of cages should be well and truly over.

Agree. Putting up fences and cages is a very lazy way of dealing with the problem. It's almost like saying well once your in there your caged in so do what you want. It's much more affective to simply have a line of stewards down the middle. You can also fill more seats that way too.

 

[surrey jim]

are they putting seats in where the terraces were

So speaks somebody that has never been to Ninian Park.

I would LOVE to be one of the stewards trying to seperate ardiff and Stoke/Leeds/Burnley etc etc fans from exchanging words in that stand.

Why, Lammy does not think it will be a problem...

 

[Stinky Kat]

That fence was a rare fence that I approved of

I don't know about Lammy - I have never been there, never wanted to go there either. But fences are not the best solution surely.

 

[Redhead]

If a bunch of badiff fans are pissed off at me i'd rather have a fence than a jobsworth between us.

Surely if you are splitting a stand, a dividing fence between the 2 sets of supporters is a better plan than a line of stewards. Fair enough in the modern grounds where you can put netting over a number of seats, but at Ninian Park it is essentially a terrace that is being divided.

Seriously, they are.

Me too.

Their stewards and, more alarmingly, their police are a total waste of space which was why they needed a fence. And still do!

 

[Timbo]

I'm glad I've been there already because I'd never go again. Fences at the front of stands are wrong but having one on the side to keep a couple of thousand Cardiff fans from eating the 300 or so who've braved the trip seems like a good idea.

Seriously the stewards won't have a prayer of keeping fans apart.

Bad, bad idea

One year I went on the A21 mini bus. In the car park after the game a friendly local got on the mini bus and asked if anyone fancied a fight. Meanwhile the WPC standing next to the bus stood there and said 'come on love, off you get'.

That's all they used at The City of Manchester Stadium between City and United fans.

There is no fence between Arsenal and Spurs fans at the Lane.

Yeah, but they're modern, safe stadiums.

We are talking CARDIFF fans here....

 

[CHAPPERS]

Lammy. That stand is still TERRACED. There's a big dference between seperating fans on terracing than seating.
