Septic Peg Posted October 1, 2016 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 I know these ad boards are dear but can't they do it all the way around? It does my OCD in not having them on the Lansdown Stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Rob Posted October 1, 2016 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 On the plus side, the falling sign was further away from the players toes than it appeared from the Dolman! That was my only real concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sit on your hands It could be that the hoardings were not best fixed. Don't you jump up and down a bit when city score? With a few guys behind you doing the same these things can happen. No malice involved was there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a world where everything is so serious and you spend 7 days a week being a grown up....why not just let yourself go and have a crack for 90 minutes. All harmless .

Trueredsupporter Posted October 1, 2016 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 There are a few right belters in the Atyeo but should the boards collapse like their made of balsa wood? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charliesboots Posted October 1, 2016 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 Obviously an accident and not the intended outcome for those who rushed to celebrate the goal. Don't see anything wrong with it apart from the signage clearly needs better anchoring to the floor to prevent it happening again. We're not the first this season either....

No problem with them celebrating the goal and obviously it was an unfortunate accident, but look at that image - it's a pile of bodies on the floor all struggling to get up!

Guest Posted October 1, 2016 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 Probably better having a metal railing behind it to stop that happening. Unfortunate rather than deliberate IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betty Swallocks Posted October 1, 2016 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 Embarrassing for who though? A moment of joy should be celebrated. Football is all about passion, if there signage wasn't so easy to go over there wouldn't have been anyone on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dollymarie Posted October 1, 2016 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 They're anchored with sand bags and so it's not really a suitable permanent arrangement for them if you ask me. That said, there used to be a barrier down there which got removed when they tarmaced all round, that having gone means people can get closer to the pitch easier. It needs sorting, if for no other reason that people keep running in front of the wheelchair users sat in that area and blocking their view.

If they filmed every single fan when a goal had been scored I bet 99.9% will be embarrassed by their actions haha! All part and parcel, passion and pride of supporting your local club.
