Stellaboz Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Stupid ruling. If someone is total smashed wouldn't they be safer with their friends than turned away and left to fend for themselves for 2 hours? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone is total smashed wouldn't they be safer with their friends than turned away and left to fend for themselves for 2 hours? At a half empty all seated stadium, I’d agree. In the context of this Saturday’s game, absolutely not. In a packed terrace, if someone falls into people, you get a bit of a domino effect, which could result in multiple injuries. So you’re risking a health and safety disaster if you let them in. If they end up spewing, it’s all over people. Also, if they need medical assistance, it’s much harder for first aiders/help to get to them in a packed terrace. Someone being smashed makes it much more likely that they, or someone else, will need medical assistance. As I say, no problem with people having a few drinks and being tipsy/merry. But if they’re absolutely smashed, they shouldn’t be at the game. As for having to fend for themselves for 2 hours - that’s down to their ‘friends’, not police/stewards. Presumably, these ‘friends’ will have been drinking with them and let them get in that state. They would then also have to make the decision to go into the stadium without their pal, if he’s left on his own. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoo61 Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 I've had an absolute moon boot fall Into me and my old man on several occasions at a Scotland game, from the row behind, and we ended up in a scuffle that could have gone anywhere if his pals didnt agree with me that he was the fud and get him telt. I'm no fussed if people are melted at the game as long as it doesn't cause inconvenience to other people. Thats the decision that everyday stewards at football matches aren't paid enough to make or enforce. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only enforced when people are completely out of it and unable to stand/walk properly. Nobody will make any fuss about fans being tipsy/merry when entering the ground. Anyone being merry in Kelty will have the locals to deal with, highly inadvisable imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen the police throw boys out games for being pissed, and give them directions to the pub so they have somewhere to go until the bus is ready to leave at full time. Only in Scotland 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only in Scotland Should be given a place on the bench and guaranteed 10 minutes at the end. Would be hilarious and possibly discourage it. Or perhaps improve the standard of the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvo Montalbano Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Is this going to be Kelty's new highest attendance? Has it sold out yet? I got a ticket for the home end but I assume there's no plans for segregation. Although it's no bother if there is, I'll not have colours or that on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the home end isn’t going to sell out, surely they’d be just as well giving them to us? Seems daft to have spaces available when there’s obviously a lot of Pars fans wanting to go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I've seen a few Pars fans on Facebook and the like asking if anyone has spare tickets so there is obviously demand at our end and while some folk are just saying "buy a home end ticket" I know a few old school types don't want to "risk it" so if they were to announce that any fan can buy a ticket for the home end (if indeed there is not going to be segregation) then they'll shift a few more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelheart Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Pishing doon here this morning but brighter sunny skys predicted for game time , pars fans would be fine mingling with us locals as long as there’s no wannabe Casuals like 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 St Johnstone crowd was given as 2,183 according to Sky; not sure if the ground improvements have meant the capacity for today will be greater? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Don't even joke about that - we all know Police Scotland look at places like this and they'll be looking for any excuse to get more officers there and get up segregation and the like. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had no bother putting up segregation at our games with Arbroath without reason which must be up there with the least likely to cause trouble 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a big Pars fan growing up too. He still has family that are season ticket holders at East End. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
