Well, I was at Valley Parade in May 1985 and the situation at a modern concrete stadium is completely different - there's not much to catch fire for a start.

Re smoking in toilets, one of the stewards told me they were all fed up about it, as Hull City Council had refused to send a enforcement officer down to the ground and had advised the stewards to turn a blind eye - the reason given for both is that the situation might turn aggressive.



Makes you wonder what people pay council tax for - it is obviously much "safer" for these poor little council employees to look for people dropping sausage rolls than tackle nasty aggressive smokers !

bit of a sweeping statement that..I was more concerned at the stadium with a couple of the nasty aggresive fc supports who were calling Craig Hall a retard, c@nt and winker.

the people i see peeing in the hand basins are worse

I hope you are refering to the male toilets

Now got mad visions of some scratty bird with fag in mouth squatting over a basin

I raised this a few months ago as there are those in the south stand who blatantly disregard the health and safety rules of the stadium. I told a steward recently and his response was " so what ". I couldn't believe that as he is there to enforce ground regs on behalf of the club. I have been in dialogue with Lisa of FC Voices and this matter is tabled as an agenda item when they meet with John Cooper in the near future.

all you non smokers go f88k yourselfs .

good reply no honestly

King size anyone?

At Watford FC I remember the urinals and the hand basins were the same thing.....which if you think about it makes sense from a logistical point of view.
