Seemed to be unlucky with injury the rest of his time at the club. Seemed to be a common theme at that time - a lot of injuries. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate, Falkingham's fist pump game was so strong. Like....I see a lot of good passion in this current team but The Falky Fist Pump? Get it in there. Revel in it.

Salvo Montalbano Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 North West Stand is to be for Season Ticket holders only for the next match (v Edinburgh). Statement on COWS, mentions the throwing of objects, pyrotechnics, pitch incursions etc. Seems fair enough. Not closing it but doing something. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 (edited) Not surprising. Sounds like the club were given the option of a fine(s) or doing something. The usual moronic reaction is in full swing though, with talking about what an awful decision it is and how it punishes the fans etc. Some folk refuse to take responsibility and/or refuse to see why this had to be done, despite previous warnings.

Stoo61 Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Club also giving a £5 off voucher to everyone I guess. I cant work out the email but aye, seems nice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that bracket has to be the stewarding company, who let what 10 smoke bombs and flares into the ground? That's not good enough from them and their "searches" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, we can 'thank' them for what will surely be increased measures and searches at Falkirk next month.

Salvo Montalbano Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 When I arrived at the North end of the Norrie there were no police officers present and although there were some stewards doing a quick body search of people going into the North West, there wasn't the heavy presence and stringent searches that were mentioned on the supporters information before the game. In any event, over the past season or two there have been plenty of things thrown onto the park, such as pound coins and vapes (I believe it was either a vape or a lighter that was thrown on Tuesday that was then picked up and mentioned in the referees report?) - not a lot a search can do about that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
101 Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 I agree that there has been a lot building up to this action and there are things that the stewards can't search for, but identity the culprits and remove them from the stadium. I get that if this has failed then look at closing sections. However I think the best think to do what be to make sure that before you go down to your seat in the NW that a steward checks your ticket to make sure you are in the right section which would stop over crowding, and make identification of people in there easier, I also think it would help make the whole of the NW noisy rather than just the end section. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoo61 Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 How much do stewards get paid? If a steward searches, finds a flare and the person refuses to give it up are they going to man handle the individual until the police arrive? Maybe that is what they're supposed to do, I don't even know what the role of stewards is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sons both go in Section NW and no one sits in their seats, in fact no one actually sits. I went with them on Tuesday. There were stewards at the top of the first set of stairs when you went in checking that supporters had tickets for that area. You only had to walk along to the next stairs to be able to get into the area from the other side. IMO it would be better and safer if that area was standing, as it was utter carnage when the goals went in. It still doesn’t excuse the moronic behaviour of some fans. It only reflects badly on the club when items are thrown on the pitch, especially when they are aimed at opposing players. Scrunching up a bit of paper and throwing it may seem like fun, but it only takes one idiot to throw something more dangerous and the club can be in big trouble. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
