Standing by the fence is now allowed, but you can't stand two deep. See Club site for full details.

That very good news for the fans who prefer to lean on the fence to watch the game.

What work has actually been done to the perimeter fence that now allows fans to stand by the fence?
They've painted a Yellow Line on the floor, to stand in front off next to the fence...

A health and safety officer leant against it for 48 hours. The barrier was still standing but they collapsed.

Thanks for the update.. quite a simple fix really considering the time it took to implement.

Sounds about right, Grandad.

Couldn't we sell booze from a kiosk in the away end? (card only) Even at the food outlet?

How would we enforce that it was drunk by the KO or second half start?

Perhaps stop selling half an hour before kick off. None at HT...
Or issue blindfolds to drinkers so they can't see the game. 😂😂

PS. Seriously though , Rocky, good point. 🙄

I now call for the catering team to produce hot drinks cups with a concave curve in the base.  In the past the barriers were square and you could sit your tea on it, now they are cylinders.
can we bring back stopper gate ?
