On Tuesday I watched queues of Saints fans trudge through the 3 available gates all completely unchecked as a woman steward tried desperately to get 2 or 3 younger lads to do the job they had been employed for "You're here to do a job, start checking people" she was demanding to a blank stare response after which they went back to simply watching the fans go in. Same lady appeared inside the gates screaming at others inside that they were being paid to do the same. In that respect the bounty incident, although amusing in retrospect, could have been anything as fans could have pretty much have taken anything they wanted into that game. Inside ...bloody hell ...wading through 2 inches of mud and water to find a spot standing on a slippery wooden bench. Nobody say they are for sitting on because that would have meant sitting with our feet submerged in freezing water for 2 hours risking mass trench foot. Absolute disgrace of a place Up the home end they are in so much trouble they can't/won't pay the police to close off Sinclair Street risking their own fans in traffic which has been historically always been closed because it a bloody obvious safety measure to take. How the hell do they get a certificate to put games on? Bloody disgrace of a place. I don't know how it passes a safety certificate,. They would be better off opening the cowshed and main stand ends only for away fans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callum Gilhooley Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 I don't know how it passes a safety certificate,. They would be better off opening the cowshed and main stand ends only for away fans Agree, Im all for “grounds with character “ but in this day surely safety and customer care comes first . At the very least the WDE should be covered . I’ve never been in their main stand but surely it can’t be as bad as the dump at Firhill or Firs Park main stand designed for those under 4ft 6.

Gordon Urquhart Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 No it is. Seat pitch legroom makes Ryanair seem like BA first class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leg room as bad as Rugby Park. I once sat in the main stand at Cappielow up the back and there was a wasps nest causing carnage lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly you would rather piss yourself. the whole place is a health hazard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks guys. Its the first time i noticed the choice on Alba for the Rugby so maybe its changed - here's hoping... Of course its all moot now as we are big time charlies who appear on BT Sport and BBC One now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sm74 Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 I’m pretty sure it’s only on there for games that are also being covered live on radio and they just sync them up, don’t think they put on English commentary specially for Alba.
