Title: Bloke on the Town End roof... Post by: sonicyouth on Saturday, August 27, 2005, 17:19:13 Anyone know who he was and how he got up there? Whoever it was is a fucking muppet, not only will he almost certainly cost us a hefty fine and with the pressure being put on people sitting down in the Town End, I wouldn't be surprised to see it closed for the Southend game. Furthermore there was a safety meeting at the club this morning which is only going to make matters worse.
It was quite funny though. Title: Bloke on the Town End roof... Post by: Spud on Saturday, August 27, 2005, 17:21:56 You call him a fucking muppet but then say it was funny!, make up your mind?. :-))(
Why should the Town End close just cos the Stewards didnt stop a man from climbing onto the Town End roof?. :evil: Title: Bloke on the Town End roof... Post by: blinkpip on Saturday, August 27, 2005, 17:21:58 I was worried that they were going to stop the game.
The idiot. I thought it couldve been Yeovil Red? Title: Bloke on the Town End roof... Post by: Tails on Saturday, August 27, 2005, 17:24:41 Idiot.

Is there a law against laughing at stupid people? It's unlikely I admit, but with all the bollocks about standing in the TE it's just something that would be absolutely typical of the club, council and safety officers. I'm not saying it should be closed, obviously, just that one man's actions could have serious consequences for the club. Title: Bloke on the Town End roof... Post by: yeo on Saturday, August 27, 2005, 17:25:55 :D
I met some mates in the CGH after and they thought it was me as well. Whoever it was I thought he was ace. Title: Bloke on the Town End roof... Post by: Reg Smeeton on Saturday, August 27, 2005, 17:27:07 Absolute dickhead.....a couple of seasons back Tranmere v Mansfield, was abandoned when a fella did he same....you may have noticed the ref go to the side.... when he noticed, fortunately at that point the fella must have come down a bit, otherwise the ref would have had no option but suspend the game, and alert OB as the security of the crowd is his responsibility.
Had he then not cooperated the game would have been abandoned. Title: Bloke on the Town End roof... Post by: Spud on Saturday, August 27, 2005, 17:32:15 If it had been abandoned then i would have kicked him in the face a few times!, surely the club are in no financial position to close the Town End.
Title: Bloke on the Town End roof... Post by: sonicyouth on Saturday, August 27, 2005, 17:34:03 It's not upto the club though, it's the council and safety people who put pressure on the club. The club can't just tell them to fuck off (unfortunately).
Title: Bloke on the Town End roof... Post by: Batch on Saturday, August 27, 2005, 17:34:56 It was somehow amussing but he was indeed a tit. I was worried he was going to go through it and land on me. At the end of the day he won't be seen a a Swindon game for a long time.
On an unrelated note, why did the club bother wasting time, effort and money installing those pathetic "sit down and supporty your club" signs up in the Town End. It doesn't really matter that you agree or do not agree with the message, they are completely pointless. Title: Bloke on the Town End roof... Post by: Bennett on Saturday, August 27, 2005, 19:21:28 those fucking hags really did my head in. i don't listen to the mental old bitch that had spawned me, so for fucks sake i'm not going to listen to one of those tards in their pretty colour coats
Title: Bloke on the Town End roof... Post by: reeves4england on Saturday, August 27, 2005, 19:36:35 Pat Butcher!!!!
Yes the guy on the roof was a dickhead, but yes it was funny!!! Surely they can't shut the stand because ONE MAN got on the roof?! If somebody had been on top of the Nationwide would they shut that next week? Title: Bloke on the Town End roof... Post by: Whits on Saturday, August 27, 2005, 20:39:39 reeves4england, its a health and saftey hazard, there will be an investigation into how exactly the fuck he was allowed on the roof and why the stewards didn't spot him climbing up. if the way up is still there at the next game the H/S peeps could claim its an issue and close it down. would be harsh but its swindon, anything could happen...
Title: Bloke on the Town End roof... Post by: reeves4england on Saturday, August 27, 2005, 20:52:29 Not trying to agrue with you Whits, you have a valid point.
But if it was the Nationwide, would they have to close it down?! And surely Swindon are the ones paying the stewards to do a job through a company, they are not employed by the club are they?! Title: Bloke on the Town End roof... Post by: DV on Saturday, August 27, 2005, 20:54:41 who/how let him/did he get up there....
Someone is at fault for not stopping him....good job Hewlett has left otherwise he might have got knocked off Title: Bloke on the Town End roof... Post by: reeves4england on Saturday, August 27, 2005, 20:56:24 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:
I was wondering how he was let up there myself Title: Bloke on the Town End roof... Post by: Whits on Saturday, August 27, 2005, 20:58:38 Quote But if it was the Nationwide, would they have to close it down?! quite possibly, if the hazard is not removed. the only problem is with thetownend's recent history its probably a target for the H/S peeps :x Title: Bloke on the Town End roof... Post by: reeves4england on Saturday, August 27, 2005, 21:11:37 True. Just seems harsh that the stand would be closed for one bloke's stupidity...
And I can't see how it is STFC's fault if they hire the stewards Title: Bloke on the Town End roof... Post by: Whits on Saturday, August 27, 2005, 21:13:58 they are responsible for the overall saftey of the ground so even though the stewards maybe at fault there must have been some left out somewhere so the guy could get on the roof which may have not been the stewards fault

At first i thought it was some mad suicide bomber :shock: Then i was worried if he fell, he'd most likely die and you don't want kids to see that. Title: Bloke on the Town End roof... Post by: sonicyouth on Sunday, August 28, 2005, 14:22:33 It's lucky he was wearing a Town shirt, if he wasn't then it could have been absolutely anybody and in the current climate who knows what might have happened?

was pretty funny but wouldnt have been if he fell off! they wont close the town end for it, will just ban him i expect. Title: Bloke on the Town End roof... Post by: yeo on Monday, August 29, 2005, 18:49:47 I know him :D

Quote I was in the north stand and after a bit of a rumble witn the stewards by the toilets, i was ejected. After paying £23 for ticket and the shit i took from the stewards, as i was walking past the town end i thought sod this ( drunk by the way!) and climbed up the drainpipe onto town end roof and the rest is history!!! paid good money to get in and wanted to see the second half.
