v Burnley...

[blueandwhitehalves1]

Seems Lancashire Police pretty much wrote the book on how to ruin a football derby. 12:30 on a sunday, what a complete joke.

Ewood park concourse are one of the most generous

On the other hand Turd Moor Away end is the worst that I ever been to. How the safety certificate hasn't been revoked astounds me. That's even before you get to facilities and those wooden seats

But nice to see you're picking you games to avoid the misery at Ewood.

The concourse at Burnley is fine for the amount of fans in the stand, that's why it gets a safety certificate. What it isn't designed for is 2,400 fans being dumped under the stand all at the same time, which is what the police do. The Blackburn concourse isn't designed for this either.

Our two large stands are designed wrong as well. We have small bottom tiers, with huge concourses, and large top tiers with small concourses. They do it that way so as to charge people more for a 'better' view. Ridiculous.

Wooden seats? What has that got to do with a safety certificate?

Erm, think that was a wooden stand. Slightly different.

This is the trouble. As per TMH, a few people continue with the 'wooden stand' angle and then all of a sudden it's a wooden fire risk of a stand. The stand is concrete, with steelwork holding the thing up, and steelwork for the seats. The only thing wooden is the the big thick seat that you park your arse on. Not that anybody actually sits in there anyway. Bradford was a fully wooden stand built in 1908!. We replaced our old wooden stand and concrete paddock in 1973 with the Bob Lord. You replaced yours in 1993, 20 years later.

After 40 years the CFS, and to a far lesser extent the BLS could do with replacing, and will be when we've enjoyed Premier League money again. You've been lucky in that r

You've been lucky in that respect and need to remember where you came from!

Have you some massive step ladders you could lend Lackofknowledge Moonie? I think he's struggling to get down off his horse.

Calling me 'LackofKnowledge' suggests incorrect facts. Stop making yourself look silly.
