Fans meeting
Friday 14th May 2010

Ground rules and regulations
An informal meeting has been arranged to discuss ground safety and the rules and regulations in place at the Crown Ground, taking place in the Buy-the-House Lounge here at the club on Tuesday 25th May at 7.00pm.

All supporters are invited to attend, the aim of the evening is to explain to fans what the rules that the club has to abide by are, and more importantly the reasons why they are in place.

As well as club personnel there will be representatives from the police, Lancashire County Council who oversee ground safety and the Football Licensing Authority who issue the club with the license to operate the stadium.

I think that this is a good idea by the club, hopefully, it will give people chance to air their views/concerns and also it may well help some of us understand why we have to put up with all the nonsense that is around these days on match day!!!

This is a tough area for Fans & Club alike

I hope the meeting will be well attended as it will give us as the Supporters perhaps an input and a better understanding of the inner workings of the regualting bodies, while perhaps helping to form a common sense and universal approach which in turn may help create a satisfactory outcome for everyone concerned.

Can't wait

VALAIRIAN · 14-05-2010, 16:07

Do not think that I will bother, can't be bothered with meetings

Never achieve anything anyway

Willie Miller · 14-05-2010, 16:18

I was gonna go but somebody just offered me the chance to sautee' my own testicles, garnish them & eat them with some chips & a salad.

It was just a little bit more appealling than the meeting

VALAIRIAN · 14-05-2010, 16:23

Firstly, you have not got any, secondly, I do not believe that you have ever eaten salad unless it was on a Bigmac or a Kebab from Cuisine World

thing is, whilst regulations are in force at any venue, its all very well understanding them, but like in any workplace in life theres always one or two knobheads, like seen at crewe n more recently cheltenham, were innocent people where injured, it seems to me there is no redress against these guilty parties, unless of coarse ya have pots of money, to pay a soliciter,which most people aint. i would like someone in authority to tell me WHY this should be?

fc:stanley · 14-05-2010, 16:33

Nay can go. I would nay go anyway.

Think its good that the club has invited people to come along, sorry folks as such is life & internet forums there are rules im afraid - for the safety of people and place alike. Gives an opportunity for the club/authorities to outline what isnt acceptable and what is expected, also for fans and club/officials/hi viz brigade to know the line. Think also that if people whom come to the ground can be confident that if powermad viz's get OTT whats the complaints proceedure etc, as eg cheltenham whom have clearly got it wrong in the worst sense. Think our club has taken sensible approach in addressing matters - both sides, so if anyone has had issue with our ground safety/hi viz's etc, its a good way to address them at the meeting

Still

Scott_ASFC · 14-05-2010, 18:52

I am looking forward to this very much

See you all there for a good old telling off

cfcasfc · 17-05-2010, 20:33

I find it amazing that after all the comments that have been made on this forum re safety, flags, stewards etc that people are coming out with this attitude to a great move by the club.

I am very happy that this meeting is taking place, I have been calling for it for months. The club cannot survive without fans or Stewards, I feel that we need to work together to get LCC off our backs. this does not mean towing the line for every petty rule, where we think the rules are not followed at bigger clubs and no danger is posed we need to stand firm. It is our right to challenge unfair or poor laws, This is England and we are not criminals.
