Write to the club and raise your concerns, at EP the police had a habit of parking a van between Shooters and the fenced car park, made it uncomfortable to get out, I raised it with the club, suggesting an accident would one day happen because of it, and magically it was never parked there again. Highlight a risk in writingm get it acknowledged, then should the culb do nothing they can be held responsible.

Agreed this is the best form of action but it takes the piss that we, the fans have to raise it at all! Who makes these decisions? I assume the safety officer? Surely he would the one person who should be looking out for the fans :roll:

I left about 30 seconds before the final whistle from the East Stand and the pedestrian gate between East and North was open.

I thought STAR had got a commitment from the club that cars do not move from the car park from about 5 mins before the end of games until the vast majority of pedestrian supporters had dispersed. What's going on STAR?

Cars were allowed to go almost straight after the evening game against Northampton. I presume that was for the same reason the stewards got @rsey with us for trying to cut through the west stand concourse to walk home with our elderly father, because they "had homes to go to" and it was later than usual. :|

Do you mean the safety gate that goes right across the road between the east stand and the north stand?

This gate is closed after every game for 20 minutes to half an hour and I am sorry if I have taken the bait but if you think the fact it is closed will cause a problem soon then you cannot be attending many games!

If you want STAR to take up any situation with the club then I am afraid a posting on here will not be enough as the club has made it clear that it will not take anonymous complaints seriously, so you have to email us on info@star-reading.org.

Oi, you leave their asset alone (by the way its spelt pikey or are you actually saying the caravan is very picky about who it chooses to let itself out to).
