If he had been in his seat this wouldn't have happened.

No sympathy what so ever.

Well tbf BG, I would've wish a serious head injury on anyone at a game.

BUT, it was very stupid of him to try climbing onto railings which are there for a reason.

exactly, I wouldn't wish it on LCFC fans at all, but if you play with fire you can get burnt.
He should be charged as well IMO.

For damaging the concrete?

oops!:icon_redf

Obviously that should've said 'wouldn't'!

for being a **** and not sitting in his seat. They tell you all the while it is an offence to stand, but they never do anything about it. Now they have the perfect opportunity to charge someone.

The only legislation in place is that designated grounds must provide all-seater accommodation, and fans will only be permitted to watch from all-seater accommodation at designated grounds. There's nothing legally to say that fans have to sit in the all-seater accommodation.

Action for persistent standing forms part of ground regulations, which clubs enforce as and when they please (or when Safety Advisory Groups jump up and down about the issue).

Did it say on his ticket he could sit on railings with a 15 foot drop, or because it didn't he was at liberty to do so?

 

[beaumontfox]

I didn't think you were supposed to allow people into the ground that are inebriated, but plenty of folk get in and don't get themselves into bother.

 

[Uncle Connolly]

There's definitely a middle ground that can be reached with standing and sitting.

Simply have a standing section in the crowd, and anyone who buys a ticket for this area accepts the (extremely small) possibility of injury occurring.

Will that ever happen? Well, no.

Why? Because football is a huge money-making cash machine.. so why bother your arse tampering with it?

Of course his ticket didn't but he wasn't breaking any law in doing so. All it means is that he won't be able to claim thousands in compensation.

Entering a football stadium drunk IS a criminal offence (Sporting Events (Control of Alcohol etc) Act 1985 s.2(2) ), but thankfully the police use some common sense and discretion on this :icon_redf

Read the Taylor Report; a lot of the reasoning behind all-seater stadia was aimed at the control and monitoring of spectators, not just their safety, and the poor state of football stadia in general.

Police and common sense in the same sentence.... I need a drink!

Talking to someone today, he reckons the lad who fell is paralytic at every game.

Good! The thick twat!

If police started enforcing it, I suspect fewer people would get 'accidentally' kicked / elbowed / punched at away games.

:icon_bigg Just think how empty grounds would be if they enforced it.

He is, and I'm not his biggest fan, but I wouldn't wish this on him. :icon_conf

Ture.

Ther'es a difference between having a dink or two and being giggly(not that i can ever recall you being like that!:icon_bigg) and being so pissed you can't walk straight.
