But isn't your comment just common sense....stewards surely don't need telling such a basic thing....or do they ?

Not a great deal the stewards can do about it. They could try and block off the path at certain points but a lot of people would probably try and push past them still.Princerock":2opwpa1q said:yashin":2opwpa1q said:I do apologise for putting my view forward .

In an emergency you would be told to go on the pitch and exit from another part of the ground.

Still have to get down the steps to get onto the pitch. I caught an old boy by the elbow as he was leaving just before the end on Saturday. He was going over and nothing to grab hold of, wonder why they don't opt for a front seat mind? :think:
Not being dramatic but, if there was a 'panic' that old boy would not make it out. Just saying.

Willis88":z4o2cibd said:There is a difference between evacuating in an emergency and leaving at the end of the game.
In the former everyone is trying to get out as quickly as possible. Maybe with a bit of panic but the flow is in one direction and quickly.
In the latter people are stopping to chat, to have a look at what's going on on the pitch, to let others past/stopping to complain at someone barged their way past.
It takes longer to get out at the end of a game because everyone is taking it easy and leaving at their own pace.
