Lokloyal Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Newlandsfield has quite comfortably held 3-4K plus in past years but the Council are not prepared to permit even 1k now on the basis of safety.Seems ludicrous considering there are no open slopes etc and that the whole ground is fully stepped and terraced! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imcvicar Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 The lack of exits will likely be the problem same as Holm Park. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mon the papers There are actually 4 exits from the ground as the large double gates at the turnstiles and at the side of Loks as well as two exits at the side of the pavilion at the corner so it’s even more confusing. the whole thing just seems to depend upon your luck when it comes to which local authority certifies this . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much one year ago we played Talbot (infamous 8 men game) That day the weather was shocking and pretty much a crowd of 1k was packed under the main stand. Great atmosphere, comfortable, safe. Fast forward 12 months and the full ground isn’t deemed safe to hold that ! Feel sorry for those on the committee who have worked hard to get our license, fans who help raise funds to contribute towards the floodlights only for complete inconsistency across councils on what is deemed safe. I would guess there was more allowed behind the goals at the ‘away’ end for Talbot v Hearts than is now allowed under our enclosure. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginaro Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Suppose it's better to have whatever capacity limiting issues come to light just now that in a couple of years if/when you get to the SPFL and need a safety certificate from the council, might be able to sort them? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
