Re: Bristow's Bench safety

Alpine Joe wrote:Mid Devon In the interests of health and safety the smokers are forced not to smoke, and those who fancy a drink have their bottle tops removed etc etc. It's a pity that in the name of safety Stewards cannot also insist that those with walking sticks be forced to leave the grandstand after those capable of leaving more quickly. There are lots of things you may wish to do inside Plainmoor but are not allowed to e.g light a fag, take a photo...maybe the right to hold everyone else up should be added to that list.

I know Mid Devon appeals to common sense in wondering why the more infirm don't hang on for a few minutes to let the youngsters go by, but that just isn't going to work. How many times have any of us been stood in the central aisle of a coach unable to get off as the elderly stand in the gangway, fussing around with coats, handbags, luggage in overhead racks etc. Requesting them to stay in their seats for an extra thirty seconds while those ready to get straight off can do so will fall on deaf (literally in some cases) ears, and they won't behave any more sensibly on 'The Bench' than they do at the end of a coach trip.

Therefore, reluctantly, I see no alternative to handrails unless we give stewards the authority to say 'sit down you old fool' to those doddery members of the OAP army who relish causing a human traffic jam.

Hopefully these rails can be incorporated without effecting spectators sightlines when looking to the left or right. Of course an enclosure for the elderly, just as we provide a separate stand for families, and an area for the disabled, might have been another possibility.....but more likely than not we'll end up with rails and be held up just as long as before, the only change being that those causing the congestion can do so in the happy knowledge that they're no longer jeopardizing their own safety :)
Did it make you feel better insulting our elderly supporters?

Shame on you.

Re: Bobby to Peterborough?

Shame to see Bobby go but I wish him all the best. A model professional by all accounts and what a warm up routine!

Good luck Bobby and thank you.

Re: Alarm Bells - Eunan to Crawley

So how much do we think Euan is worth?

I see a lot of honking on here about how he's worth more than 175K but no one seems to put an actual valuation on him.

I also would like to see the Pop side redeveloped.

Nothing wrong with the drum and it helps to generate a good atmosphere IMO.

Hi all

Hi to all from North Africa (Work), Thailand, Udon Thani (Home) and TQ3 (a few times a year).

Have managed to make the home games v Rotheram and Hereford this season after a long absence.


Can't wait for my next game!!
