Away ends

I take your point but there is more than enough room to escape from that stand. The pitch would only be the secondary means of escape anyway, especially given there are no stairs to negotiate and its at ground floor level.

What if the left hand side of the stand went on fire, and the big awkward gates separating the ends of the stand happened to be stuck closed?

People might have to weigh up their options, get paint on their clothes or burn to death.

It's not the Great Wall of China we're talking about. It's still easy enough to climb over it. People have had no problem getting onto the pitch since it was put there. It just stops people leaning up against and standing on it during the game which has reduced the number of times fans have come onto the pitch. Hasn't eradicated it.

Or might make some people pause just long enough to cause a crush situation. It's not something that we, as football supporters, should be blasé about imo. It's the same attitude that lead to barbed wire topped fences in the first place - sure didn't they have gates in them?

You honestly think a bit of paint is going to make someone pause if there was a chance they were going to be trapped in a fire?

I've a theory (my dad wouldn't let me test) that the "paint" on the wall in The Showgrounds is flammable.

Would add a whole new fun dimension to climb/get burned to death debate.

It only needs to make one person pause...

The lunacy obviously comes from the mammy, so.

Probably a bit on both sides.

Twas my father started bringing me to Limerick games for example.

I do recall some of the locals down in Rathbane ensuring that the clubhouse was.
