Closing North Gate

[Fylde Seasider]

Last home game I attended? I waited nearly an hour outside the North to go get my car at Revoe. The irony? I was stood chatting to a Birmingham fan (and his family, all in their colours), and the gatekeeper wouldn't let them out either. I then drove the 320 miles home (which on average is around 6 hours). Was just hoping fora bit of common sense....

I'm confused? Can you that are complaining not just walk the opposite direction and when there are no more Police cordons or barriers then simply walk around them and back to where you want to be? Surely in an hour that is possible? Unless you've parked your car where the Police are is this an issue at all or am I missing something other than a bit of inconvenience caused by trying to keep people safe?

Are you not also confused why they lock these gates in the first place? Especially when away fans were all in the south stand?

I can't imagine the need to close the gate for many of the games this season. Bolton, Fleetwood, Wigan and Derby maybe? But can't imagine many others bringing a big enough following to warrant it. I guess it's to prevent clashes which are always possible.

The whole point is that it doesnt prevent any clashes. Fans in the North are forced to circum navigate the whole stadium to meet opposing fans on Bloomfield Road where they freely mingle. It solves nothing closing the gate.

Genuine question, what do you actually say at these meetings?

No reply to this question.

But on Saturday they closed BR down also with 3 police vans!
It wasn't until a fan shifted a barrier that you where able to get to the Central drive side of the ground insane.

Sorry you’ve lost me with those comments.

Sorry you’ve lost me with those comments.

And you're labouring the point about me being confused. Perhaps your confusion is just an actual lack of intelligence or maybe you were just born with a severe case of argumentativeness?

If you’re not going to give me an answer because you don’t have one just say so no need to go round the houses.
