Looks like a section of the Holker Street end will not be accessible in the near future.

Following last night’s incidents and speaking to the relevant authorities, the Club has decided to implement the following measures:

The age in which you can buy an unaccompanied ticket to enter the SO Legal Stadium has been raised to 15 and over.

We understand there are numerous supporters who have already bought Season Tickets, and we will be reaching out to those to provide a solution, but no singular ticket can be bought alone under the age of 15.

The Club will be adopting a stringent check upon entering the ground and any groups unaccompanied will be subsequently challenged.

If you are entering the SO Legal Stadium with your child or children, please make sure they always remain under your supervision.

When entering the SO Legal Stadium, face coverings must not be worn at turnstiles unless for a valid reason. We still have Covid safe turnstiles, so your safety will not be jeopardised.

If you do not comply, we have the right to refuse entry.

In the interim, a section of Holker Street will be closed until further notice. 

Get a grip seems to be a favourite phrase used by people if they don't agree with someone on here or make a suggestion they don't particularly agree with. Because they are always right I suppose.

Exactly my thoughts. This could have ended very very tragically. Thankfully it didn't.

Club have been desperate to implement this ever since it got binned off earlier in the season. What idiots make these decision. I suppose its a consequence of giving people jobs within the club on the cheap who habe no clue how to running a club. Alienate future supporters on the back of the actions of 1 person. Really clever move

Really not sure what closing a section of the HSE achieves tbh; unless it’s the club trying to avoid a fine

At a guess, I wonder if they are trying to avoid that group gathering by the segregation fence, which TBH only serves as an area where they all meet to goad away supporters anyway.

I suppose something had to be done as there’s been flares thrown coins slung over the Perspex barrier and now the firework incident.

Total over reaction. Why punish a 13 year old lad who I know, his mother drops him off at the ground and then picks him up post match, why.

Pathetic knee jerk reaction, so the juveniles who have been banned can go with an older mate, who buys another ticket for him under another name, and now we’re told to cover or faces at the turnstiles, surely that’s where the banned juveniles can first be identified ?

They’re telling you NOT to cover faces at turnstiles

These [SwearFilter] aren’t the future generation of supporters, but are hell bent on anti social behaviour.

It’s not the first time a flare / firework has been thrown this season, the club and the Police know who they are, just ban them

Another clown behind a keyboard. You know why they havent banned any of them? Because they havent got any evidence of them doing anything wrong. They are rowdy, they give it the big one to away fans, so what. 1 lad threw a firework, hes been banned. People on this thread saying it should effect his future employment get a grip

Another numb idiot saying cant wait till we drop down to non league again so they stop coming, jesus

I hope he never sets foot in the ground again. He deserves to be dragged through the courts and convicted. If guilty

No sympathy whatsover

Listening to Radio Cumbria and police have released whoever they suspected from last night, no mention of any charges as yet. Shame if it is a youngster as they might find out stupid actions can have consequences.
Been the odd incident by our and opposition fans over the years, as you get older you despair that the Neanderthals keep reoccurring.
