Bob Lord stand - incident at Liverpool game
A bit late with this one, mainly due to my son-in-law not forwarding me the link, despite
numerous reminders and promises.
He showed me some short footage of a guy, after the final whistle, clearly the worse for wear, falling down the steps in the stand and then tumbling backwards over a few rows of seats only stopping when he hit
a lady still sat in her seat.
As I say, I was promised a link but nothing has materialised. I seem to remember him mentioning "Turf Talk" ?
Can anyone help with this please ? He also mentioned Face tok or tik book or similar.
Can anyone help out please as I don't do social media ?
Cheers in advance.

Re: Bob Lord stand - incident at Liverpool game
I saw it the clip. It’s blink and you miss it - it’s zoomed in from television footage.
Not sure if he worse for wear or not but I hope everyone is ok now. I looked quite a tumble.

Tell that to the poor lady (who I know well), who suffered a not inconsiderable injury.

Re: Bob Lord stand - incident at Liverpool game
What is your objective with the thread? Do you want video evidence? If so, you’re probably best off contacting the club. They have multiple surveillance cameras all throughout the ground and I’m sure they would assist for the right reasons.Funkydrummer wrote: ↑Tue Jan 09, 2024 9:50 pmTell that to the poor lady (who I know well), who suffered a not inconsiderable injury.

Yes, I'm trying to help the lady out and the footage would certainly help.
I have emailed the club but got nothing back yet. Will persevere.

Re: Bob Lord stand - incident at Liverpool game
Like anywhere nowadays - they won’t be able to give it to you.
For all they know, you could be seeking retribution against the guy who tripped for hurting your friend.
They could send it to the police if they had a direct request from them for a copy.
I suspect you want the footage for one of two reasons - to put in some sort of claim or to try and get the bloke who slipped in trouble/ banned from future games.

Re: Bob Lord stand - incident at Liverpool game
Stinks of personal injury claim. It'd be against an individual however, which is a shitty thing to do for an accident

Must admit, I'd not be getting myself involved in this one, even if the accident was because he'd had a few, I'd probably feel differently if he'd landed on my daughter and hurt her though.

Re: Bob Lord stand - incident at Liverpool game
The only thing clear from that is that there was no safety barrier at the bottom of a steep flight of steps - that is a ground safety issue for both the persons seated and the the one who fell down the steps, as the clip clearly shows it has the potential to be lethalclaptrappers_union wrote: ↑Wed Jan 10, 2024 12:59 amTyped in ‘Burnley fan fall’ into Google

Re: Bob Lord stand - incident at Liverpool game
1 or 2 people have been hurt here, surely the club can help of needed,
Any incident rwquiring treatment should have been logged in the stadium incident log.

Re: Bob Lord stand - incident at Liverpool game
the club wont share CCTV to just anyone, thats a massive never gonna happen.
it'll have to be requested by the police, if there is an investigation, which is seems there isnt.
he went with some force, bet it hurt both parties, but im not sure what the OP wants to get out of this

Re: Bob Lord stand - incident at Liverpool game
i suspect this, but not jumping to conclusions.
i mentioned earlier, it could only be a claim against an individual which wont be very much if at all possible. Club has a safety certificate, obviously nothing illegal with regards to safety.
very strange.
Re: Bob Lord stand - incident at Liverpool game
If the lady involved in the incident is caught on CCTV, she has a right to request a copy of the footage, under the freedom of information act.
Re: Bob Lord stand - incident at Liverpool game
I perhaps should have included a?...... But iam struggling to think of any other reason

Re: Bob Lord stand - incident at Liverpool game
Just watched it…. Unfortunate for the woman who was hit. Hope she’s ok.
A more pressing matter is that Stockley park are reviewing the footage with a view to awarding Liverpool a penalty…

Re: Bob Lord stand - incident at Liverpool game
How bad is the design of having seats at the bottom of the stairs? I would be moving pronto.
They have a safety barrier at the bottom of stairs in the upper longside. With 3/4 seats then the stairs fork off both ways to the exit.

Re: Bob Lord stand - incident at Liverpool game
I'm not saying they have to move, I'm saying I would.
We don't know how many incidents like that have occurred there, but plenty do around football stadiums, with safety barriers put in to protect people they might land on.

A witness for what?Quickenthetempo wrote: ↑Wed Jan 10, 2024 7:53 pmDid you see this one?
Maybe you could act as a witness?
I saw the aftermath, missed the fall
Re: Bob Lord stand - incident at Liverpool game
I sit in the longside upper and some ****** off his rocker fell coming down the stairs at the end of the Sheff Utd game. He took a bloke out in front of him and they both fell over the seats and onto my 9 year old daughter. This caused her to bend forward and bang her chin on the seat in front. It could have been much worse but luckily as it unfolded I managed to launch the guy off her before she got really squashed.Quickenthetempo wrote: ↑Wed Jan 10, 2024 7:03 pmI'm not saying they have to move, I'm saying I would.

I didn’t complain (though i was approached by someone from the club) as I was solely focussed on her and making sure she was ok (she was crying) and because at the time I thought I’ve been drunk myself. The lad did try to apologise but again I was solely focussed on her so I ignored him.
But it goes to show it does happen round the ground and rather than a barrier they probably be better stopping those off their heads getting into the stadium or removing them sooner when it’s clear they can’t walk properly.

You don't need to be drunk to fall down some stairs. If there is nothing to hold onto and you lose your footing, then the only way is down... And fast.

Re: Bob Lord stand - incident at Liverpool game
There is/was a dodgy step at the Madjeski Stadium; it must be a couple of cm higher than the others. Loads of people trip on it.

Re: Bob Lord stand - incident at Liverpool game
Isn’t there some kind of rule when building houses that stairs have to meet certain dimensions? Sure I read it years ago. I struggle down steps at stadiums or other environments. Well, not struggle but they go against my normal “stair” rhythm.
Re: Bob Lord stand - incident at Liverpool game
I've never understood how it can be seen to be safer to have no rail on the Longside Upper steps. I know Clive Holt was asked, possibly at an AGM, why this was, and he confirmed that safety authorities said it was better that way. It seems wildly improbable that having something to hold on to if you are unsteady, or if you stumble, can be a hazard.claptrappers_union wrote: ↑Wed Jan 10, 2024 9:19 pmYou don't need to be drunk to fall down some stairs.

Re: Bob Lord stand - incident at Liverpool game
I could be wrong but I don’t recall any ground that has hand falls on the stairs - I’m not sure how that would be possible other than “splitting” the stairs in two and having them down the middle, which would mean them needing to be wider, thus reducing the seatsdsr wrote: ↑Thu Jan 11, 2024 12:28 amI've never understood how it can be seen to be safer to have no rail on the Longside Upper steps.

Not to mention the chaos when you realise you are on the wrong side of the rail to get to your seat

Building Regulations govern most structures, however you've also got what's known as the Green Guide that applies to sports stadia. This give details about how big the rake (angle) of seating should be, row sizes, concourse areas etc.
Quite interesting if you fancy some light reading
