Couple of questions from me about keeping fans in the away end for a while after the game.
Have we ever done it before with Millwall, or anyone else, how did that go?
The issues at the JS/Curbs gate ... this is a reminder that the JS is a vast site, east to west and fronts onto the pitch, and not particularly secure as we have now seen. I'm wondering if the size of the site and how secure exit points can be kept was a factor in a lock in not being chosen by police? At Millwall, from memory, there's little place to go and a lock in quite easy to control.
It should be very easy for the Jimmy Seed. The only thing keeping fans in at Millwall is gates/ fencing similar to that which was left unlocked by the East Stand.
its very simple - hold them in for half hour after the game then escort them to the station - thats it - nothing else needs to be done - the trust need to get all over this and make sure this nonsense doesn't happen again next year
Only just catching up with this thread so someone’s probably already made the point, but surely you can understand why they’d be reluctant to do this?

no i don't - let them out then, just don't hold us in or make us do a stupid long walk - whatever happens to them at every other ground in the country is what should happen - if they break a few seats or pop a few rivets out of some cladding , who gives a fuck? send them the bill - or let them out the same time - who cares - what is up with you or anybody else who thinks holding us in or sending us round the houses is the right thing to do ?
Wow wtf was the stewards thinking not locking the gate and why wasnt it manned by more aswell as police🤦🏻♂️
As per previous comments, a lot of the gates around the Valley cant be fully locked due to safety/evacuation concerns.
Is this just health and safety gone mad? Surely the biggest risk to health and safety is a potentially dangerous and supposedly segregated football crowd not actually being segregated?
Or being trapped in a burning stand because the gate can't be open and there's only one exit on the other side. The segregation issue is easy, you don't need to lock the gate you just need to actually segregate
Not much chance of the Jimmy Seed Stand catching fire. You do realise that what you are suggesting would cost money.
Jesus Christ, bring back the fencing in front of the away fans and packing them into the stands no matter the capacity then eh?
So you think that an unlocked gate between home and away fans is sufficient then?

Moot point, it has to be unlocked.
So, there has to be two separate access points to each stand? I think that I've attended enough grounds up and down the country to know that that doesn't happen.
