No they won't, completely agree. They will come down very hard on the operator whose responsibility it was to operate in a safe manner and devise a plan that reduces the risk of crushing. Here's where the negotiation breaks down for us. To keep the SE open we had to negotiate something and all ticket entry was the option accepted, I imagine, after the seating arrangements were altered.

I know it doesn't address the behaviour of our fans directly in any physical way but it has had the desired effect. My view is that we should ask for a variation in our licence to allow a PATG turnstile for an initial period to prove that the alterations to the seating arrangements were sufficient and the ticketing change has not been necessary.

I think we do need to ask for change and accepting the current situation is the complete opposite of what I think we should be trying to do.
