  1. It''s very rare that I contribute to any message board as you will see by the number of posts I have to my credit. I do however spend lots of time reading other peoples contributions and on this subject I feel that I should add my opinion which is based a working knowledge and I will not expand any further on that.. If we start with the inclusion of the ground regulations that someone kindly supplied us with, regulation number 7 clearly states that fireworks, smoke canisters, flares or any article that may compromise public safety is forbidden. I don''t think anyone could argue that the smoke bomb you all refer to could have been included into any one of those catagories mentioned and therefore in contravention of the ground regulations. What was missing from the regulations posted was the piece at the very bottom which states '' published by the Football League'' which means that these rules and regulations are from the aforementioned body and not issued by Norwich City as some people seem to believe. All league clubs are bound to ensure that supporters comply with these Ground Regulations or face the consequences. The consequences could be heavy fines or even reduction to the stadium capacity, either of which means a loss of revenue to the club. Norwich City also has a duty of care to all it''s customers while on club premises and would be failing in its duty if it stood by and allowed a very small minority to simply disregard any/all rules and regulations, nowhere else would allow it so why should it be allowed to happen at Carrow Road? If we return to the issue of letting off smoke grenades/bombs/flares in the stadium and setting aside all the other reasons for not allowing them, has any one considered the possibility of the smoke activating the fire detection sytem? the potential consequences of this are that the game could be halted, what penalty would the Football League deem suitable for such an occurence? In any walk of life, Rules are made for a reason and many of the rules that exist for football stadia around the country are made because of tragedies such as, Ibrox 1902 25 dead 500 injured, Valley Parade 1985 56 dead 100''s injured and Hillsborough 1989 95 dead and 400 + injured. Am I being over dramatic? who wants to take responsibilty and say ''forget the rules'' will you put your hand up and take the blame when it goes wrong because you can be assured that it will at some point.            
  2. Maybe Pedro would like to contact the Stadium Manager and discuss his rather outrageous opinions which seem to be in total contrast to the job description for stewards. He is also clearly mis-informed as there were no ejections from the N&P at all on friday night ! Please be clear that Pedro''s opinions are certainly not those of the majority of the stewards at Carrow Road who take pride in what they do and they would be appalled at his increasingly insane ramblings.
  3. Trust me .....I''m a doctor, it is 25,971 The capacities on the website are out of date.
  4. 56 cameras, 23 of those are pan tilt and zoom (PTZ) with full recording facilities, police video and numerous fans photo''s posted all over the web, as you suggest Morty its not too difficult. If we all cast our minds back to the start of the season you will remember the so called ''season ticket two'' and the subsequent FA investigation into their actions. Then midseason we had the angel that accidently fell onto the perimeter track from the snake pit Now I agree that the first was in a completely different context to the others however all are classed as pitch incursions and are in contravention of FA Ground Regulations and therefore the club could theoretically incurr the wrath of the FA if they were seen to not be doing anything to stop further incidents. I think following this weekends events around the country, the evidence is there for all to see that things can and do go horribly wrong even when they are instigated with the best intentions. A pitch incursion this Saturday, with the FA in attendance would not only bring a halt to all celebrations but could have serious consequences. Let us all enjoy the day from the safety of the stands and let the players enjoy receiving the spoils of victory.    
  5. Im sure there is some very good CCTV footage of those involved, lets hope they don''t miss the last game of the season because of their moment of madness.
  6. These rumours are always as amusing and always so very wrong. 
  7. I promise you that is the up to date (genuine) news on the unfortunate gentleman.
  8. I''m not sure this is a discussion for this message board although I understand the sentiments behind it. As usual though we are being fed duff information and in this case I feel I should put the record straight. As of this morning 21/12/09 the gentleman is alive and although not well he is improving. I hope this will stop any rumours and I can hear you all asking ''how do I know'' but I''m afraid I can say no more than please trust me what I say is the truth.
