[Palace] Palace fans: ruining the night for their own

To be honest I can see what your trying to say, but what if the person for what ever reason can’t unlock the door? Could create a stampede resulting in a hillsborough type of effect in a very short time, they wouldn’t have long to be able to unlock it if it occurred at half time etc. Would cause a much worse problem than it would solve.

And safety certificates too, I'd say.
If he's overcome by smoke ? Trampled in a panic ? Lost the key ? Wandered off ?
Blimey BG. Talk about inventing a whole new risk where once there was none.
Yes, it is hard. That's what they're trained to do. Supposedly. Look, if you don't agree last night wasn't an avoidable and major security breach, fine. But it was and you're wrong.

Perhaps the perpetrators, will be lifted once identified?
Some of the fans that fans that came in had knives and knuckle dusters, that’s maybe why?

Ok my idea wasnt very good but having seen the door opened by a bunch morons no nothing supporters, what can we expect when some proper lunatic fans decide they want to get in. In the 70s there was always about 2000 Chelsea fans at all away matches without tickets as they knew the clubs would let them in as the Police didnt want that many on the loose in any town. We, like all clubs let them in to The Goldstone and in fact kept an area clear ready for when they turned up.

I’ve worked in a building where all the fire doors are locked but are connected to the fire alarm system which electronically releases them in the case of fire.

That sounds a reasonable siolution, or do we just stand by and let any fans do the same again?

The fire alarm system works from a UPS battery bank - similar to computer servers.
Don't know if this has been posted here yet but if not the video on the link is interesting .

Maybe someone could forward the video to the police, surely he's admitted to the crime?

A building is one thing, everyone there has regular fire drills. But when there are thousands of fans to evacuate quickly from a stadium, I think I'd be more comfortable knowing that the fire exits simply remained unlocked from the inside and open-able by a push, not reliant on being firstly unlocked by a fire alarm being electronically triggered.
The instances of idiots forcing their way in and opening a fire exit are so rare as to be a one-off, as I'm sure this will prove to be. Its simply not worth installing electronically-opening fire exits to eliminate a problem that never occurred before last night, and is highly unlikely to again.

I agree with you regarding the cost v benefit of such a system.
Was that a fist pump at 2.50 ?
