Fans Could Be Forced To Sit Down

Last updated : 29 July 2004 By Covsupport
City supporters could be forced to sit down at home and away matches thanks to the latest Football League dictat. Fans of Football League clubs who stand at matches were videoed last season by Football League staff,causing the league to clamp down on clubs whose fans "offend"

We can report that Highfield Road staff understand that the lack of leg room in the West Terrace means that it is impossible for most supporters to be able to sit comfortably for the duration of the game and hope that this will not be a problem at the new Arena.

However, if you are forced to sit down at a game and suffer an injury because of this. You are advised to inform the stewards and club officials immediately and make sure that it is reported in their accident book. If possible,get the names and addresses of any witnesses before seeking medical attention. Take photographs of your injury and if the injuries sustained cause you to lose time off work or incure expenses then seek legal advice.
