CROWD CONGESTION

[alan ball]

Did anybody else experience the crowd congestion as they entered the terracing section at Stevenage. I felt that the stewarding/policing was poor and maybe our end was slightly over crowded. Would love to hear your views on this.

I was in the home end near the away fans. I had plenty of room. The only congestion was at the bar in our mutual friend.

Good to see someone else mention this. It was an absolute joke.

 

[Muggins]

It looked very squashed down there. Fair play to our fans though for staying calm. Glad everyone got in, in the end.

 

[blueser]

heard the exact same

 

[Lee Smith]

Terracing section? I thought we were only allocated seating areas in the end?

 

[bugsy]

on a slightly related thing considering how hard it was to get a ticket before hand there was a ridiculous amount of spares going around.

 

[PaddyG]

Yeah I agree, the police had no control over that at all.

Arl' man had to get off at half time do to the squashing etc. Felt a bit gutted for him.

I was right in the bottom of the corner where everyone was crowding to get in. Think I might be behind the fella with the blue hat on and to the right. At once stage I got pretty worried but I just kind of stared at everyone whilst munching my burger. Not much I could do really. Saw a couple of birds have to step over the boards on to the pitch looking quite distressed with a very angry looking bloke with them telling the policeman if he wanted them off they'd have to come and get them. Thought it was all gonna kick off.

glad you're ok champ. I dread to think what would've happened had you lost your burger.

Luckily I was safely on the terraces by this point. It was well tasty as well.

Joking aside it could have been dangerous. That stadium just wasn't built to hold a full away crowd.
