Quote from: DRFC on January 06, 2016, 08:27:28 pmBAN THIS SICK FILTH!News flash.Doncaster rovers facing fine for allowing young child to stand in elevated area of ground designed for tv cameras only.Inquest hard how child x aged 12, fell from an elevated to gantry whilst watching a league one fixture, causing injury. The inquiry went on to establish that the particular part of the ground had become an unstewarded area due to demands for unreserved seating from certain elements of the supporters. Reports received indicate that safety regulations in that part of the ground were being flagrantly disregarded.The enquiry continues.
BAN THIS SICK FILTH!
You seem to dislike a certain element of our support.We on for this bet or what?
The club is built around it's fans, and thankfully our club realises that however, safety matters won't be compromised. The Black Bank is barely 5 months old. We have had issues, there will be more issues but collectively we learn.
The discussion is supposed to be why should unreserved seating lower the capacity, it shouldn't !!!!!however unreserved standing could impact on capacity due to the guide and overflow areas etc We do not have unreserved standing, we have unreserved seating so capacity should not be affected
Don't know what the set up is here, but anyone buying tickets for any game for kids should immediately be guided by ticket office staff towards the family area. Suspect though that some folk especially online will be taking their kids into the South Stand on Saturday and God help them!
Have a look on the Black Bank website, there is a graphic showing at which point the club won't enforce seating. It's from the bottom of the white lettering of the 'Doncaster' along the stand. This has been agreed with the club, obviously the club can't publish this as it's technically in breach of Ground Regs so I suppose you'll have to take my word. As for standing in gangways, this is being looked at and expect to see more stewards in that area on Saturday.I hope that puts your mind at rest.RE and Bos. What a career you must have had.
Drfc, now you are confused. I've posted no image. Merely quoted one already posted.
Maybe stewards could advise fans deciding to sit in certain areas that fans are likely to be stood in the row below them.At least it lets people know what to expect and if it is early enough the chance to find other seats together.
