| Nasser Hussain has slammed the Western Terrace
rlhttps://www.cricket365.com/the_ashes/story/0,26413,7186_5475628,00.htmlrl
Quote: alcohol-fuelled yobs "Nasser Hussain says he wouldn't take his family to sit on Headingley's infamous Western Terrace.... With that controversy still ongoing, the Ashes roadshow rolls into Leeds - a venue where Hussain says many fans have their days ruined by "alcohol-fuelled yobs".
He told the Daily Mail
Thoughts?

Sit somewhere else if you don't like it. 95% of people on the Western Terrace seem to enjoy the atmosphere. I think people need to stop being such whiny bee-atches. Apparently 81 people were ejected last year against South Africa. I wondcer how many were ejected for offences more serious than building towers of plastic pint pots or possession of a beach ball?
They should just designate the WT as the party stand and have done with it. I've had some great days on there. I'm not sure you can complain (as YCCC are doing) about how drunk people get, while remaining more than happy to reap the enormous cash takings resulting from selling alcohol to them all day......

Yeah, they've taken extra measures this year though like shutting the bar for parts of the day which is stupid! I also think they haven't put themselves in the shoes of the spectator. Do you expect every single one of them to sit there in silence all day, applaud the rivals and be on their best behaviour? No, simply because 5 day cricket isn't entertaining enough to watch a full 7hours of it without having something else to keep you entertained.

| Abit of booing look what happens. It was only the other day they were doing a report on the trumpet dude in the Barmy Army.

Nail on head - if they treated sports grounds in the same manner as they do all licensees (ie pub landlords) then hardly any of them would hold a licence - how many pubs do you know who still have licenses when they have to employ large numbers of security guards to control their clients and still eject 81 of them ?
Spot checks on under age drinkers and serving intoxicated customers ? Forget it in sports grounds, if your a pub landlord though then prepare to lose your job.

| How on earth is anyone supposed to suffer a cricket match sober? How dull.
Turned down a freebie for today because I am too busy (so WTF am I posting on for, I ask myself).

Just a gentle poke to the unwashed that you're a corporate whore.

Why is the behaviour on the WT so much worse than any other test ground? It suggest the people watching there are incapable of controlling what they drink - which is a pretty sad indictment of supposed adults?
Being on the WT reminds me of one other similar event the CC final - where the vast majority of the supporters seem to have a problem sitting in their seat for more than 5 minutes without the need for either another drink or the toilet!!!!
Or put another way a load of northerners who can't take their beer at a major sporting event - sad really

| I have had the dubious honour of being thrown out a test match at Headingly for drink related reasons.
I wasn't being rowdy though, I just couldn't stand up. The ground staff were good enough to put me in a taxi home.
