Yes it is, refer to the FA Stadium Safety Good Practice Guide, don't argue with the facts. The netting caused a few fans to leave their row of seats and try to run down to the front of the stand? Magic netting.Quote:

It's amazing, like you say, that UEFA allow this dangerous netting to be used in European games.Quote:

Did the Dundalk fans have access to hot food (as per licensing) on Friday night, of out interest?
There was none at that end when we were down in May, but they let us into the home end. Judging by the video of the match, they had a pile of security not present at our game.
EPL clubs have an endless supply of stewarding to prevent pitch encursions although it doesnt always work. Brendy mentioned it but as opposed to lazy stewarding it is probably due to a lack of resources to provide adaquate cover. The inconsistency of numbers of travelling support doesnt help either i suppose. My own experience is that seats are covered in EPL grounds between opposition fans for segregation. I have yet to see Dundalk fans jump a wall on to the pitch to celebrate a goal, it seems to be a Shams phenomonen, but i shall never say never!Quote:

Aye,you'll get the odd one off his head agit trying to be a hero in front of his mates and never makes it type but thats really all.Don't be minding some of our fans Twitter :want: :rolleyes:Quote:

I'd say you are right. Last minute winners in big games.Quote:
