andyg83 Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Meant to ask folk who were in North stand what they thought of the front barrier. I have to say that I found it really low in comparison to other grounds. I mind a guy fell off during the of 'shame game'. Seeing it on Friday I am not surprised. The lad beside me was leaning over it a few times to see below and I found myself grabbing his jacket as he was drunk. Sweaty palms thinking about it. Must have been about 900mm high. I am sure most stadia are taller. When I heard the tragic news I wondered if someone had fallen off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northernscum Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 I was only a couple of rows back on the upper deck. I must admit when the goal went in there was utter pandemonium and i did think when it calmed down that the set up was a bit dodgy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred_Zeppelin Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 The accident was in the stairwell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyg83 Posted November 16, 2014 Author Share Posted November 16, 2014 I know it was in the stairwell. Wouldn't sit front row again tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baiggers Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 I was in the front row of Jock Stein upper and have to agree, couldn't believe how low it was when I got to my seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bzzzz Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Funnily enough, me and Mrs Bzzzz were in the North Upper and we spoke about it at the time, actually had a discussion with surrounding bunch about it an aw. Barriers are definitely too low, no surprised at all that fowk (might) fall over them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redstevie007 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Was in the second to front row of the JS Upper and my missus was bricking it - she hates heights at the best of times. When we scored and I grabbed her she shat it, thinking we'd toppled forwards. The fella in front had his two kids and they spent a lot of the game being fascinated by what was below them and leaning over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyg83 Posted November 17, 2014 Author Share Posted November 17, 2014 Anyone mind st etiene? Had to be the steepest top tier I have seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewelk Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 I was in row A up there. Normally we'll stand for most of the match but not this time! Was weirdly low. Maybe people got bigger since the 90s? Actually everyone all around was sitting and being quiet anyway. Think I might have stumbled upon a hampden south stand crowd. Never experienced so little singing. Except in the south stand at Hampden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandydunn Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Was the same in the top tier at Wembley. We were in the 2nd row and the guys in front of us pleaded us to celebrate backwards when we scored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hannibal smith Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Absolutely. i was meant to be sitting in Row A but a soon as i got their i swapped with one of my pals in Row B, i am not briliant with heights The Building regulations for houses are 1100mm with no gap more than 100mm. Must be different rules for Stadiums as it did not look that high Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bzzzz Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 (edited) Was in the second to front row of the JS Upper and my missus was bricking it - she hates heights at the best of times. When we scored and I grabbed her she shat it, thinking we'd toppled forwards. exactly same experience fella! We were right on front row, great view though, wouldn't hesitate to choose same seats again, higher barriers would be advisable tho I think. In this H&S mad world I must admit am VERY surprised!

Angus_Young Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 (edited) Have to agree with OP, we were in row A of LL Upper and thought it was low. That said they are great seats, we are there again tomorrow Edited November 17, 2014 by Angus_Young Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
