Liverpool end at West Ham - How Strange!

[Blackadder]

I'm watching the WHU V Liverpool game at the moment and I couldn't help noticing that Liverpool fans have packed the corner area in the Centenary Stand.

How Strange!

The Police insisted that these seats were kept free for our recent game there. (I noticed the seats were kept clear for Watford's cup visit on Saturday as well).

Perhaps Liverpool pool fans are seen as a "safer bet" by the Met than the wild fans of Brighton and Watford?

Perhaps its because they all live round the corner from the ground.

 

[Tim]

they havent got the top tier.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Liverpool fans are always hard done by. They know their football and deserve a large allocation. Imagine if they were not given the whole stand, they would cry blue murder! Poor little Scousers...

 

[Rougvie]

Ah, because they are playing a grade ONE PREMIERSHIP game, these seats are available because the associated costs involved in policing and stewarding are covered.

Lets face it, despite all the fuss on our part, our visit there was equivelent to the way a venus fly trap views the encroachment of a greenfly.

I know but we could have been given more seats.

Sounds plausible Rougers

Liverpool 1-0 up.

Just heard a huge cheer from the pub next to my house. Unbelievable the amount of Liverpool fans there are in Brighton.

Unbelievable the amount of Liverpool fans there are in Brighton.

And man Utd, ARSEnal & Chelski

You were offered more seats but didn't want them

 

[Yorkie]

When we played our league game there, we were all in the corner.
We only had the stand right behind the goal in Jan because they had to give us 15% of their capacity seating as it was a cup game.

Really?

The official line from Perry was that the club asked for more but the WHU safety officer and the Met police said no.

Sorry not true, we weren't allowed them.

Bollox of the highest order

We were behind the goal in the league game

 

[Yorkie]

I wasn't. I was crammed in the corner.

I concur with my colleagues jevs - we weren't!

 

[eastlondonseagull]

We asked for MORE seats and were refused
