GUERNSEY STEP UP SECURITY.

[Smudge]

Hartley Wintney will have a big crowd next week against Guernsey,partly due to the C.C.L. passes that will be used on the night.

To complain about charging £1 for children when it is only likely to effect locals does show how petty and negative some posters are about GFC.

 

Not sure why you keep focusing on the negativity. Most people have been positive.

 

 

 

[duncs]

This seems to be a Guernsey Trait,Smudge and others are only trying to point out some of the pitfalls you might encounter,Smudge is completely anti the establishment so don't think he is not trying to help you,if you knew him like we do you would see what a good person he is.

Most of the stand seats have been allocated for season tickets anyway, i think only two blocks, one at each end will be pay on the gate and any that arent sold as season tickets before Friday.

 

Although I tend to agree, i did work the gate for the 2 pre-season friendlies and we only had one complaint from a parent about having to pay £5 for his kid. Most of the U16's are happy with standing tickets anyway, not many turned up with their parents.

 

Ive got my season ticket and i'll probably only be using my seat when the weather gets too bad to be in an uncovered part of the ground.

Thanks for the reply Trebor,are their any plans to provide any standing covered accomodation at the Ground in the future.Presuming that you do well,it may be advisable to do this,as the weather in Guernsey is not much different to the U.K.and as you have pointed out the Stands could well be sold out.Standing for 90 minutes in the rain will hardly attract Supporters to the Ground.You see over here many Clubs do not get 50 plus crowds,and attract few youngsters anyway,but where a large number of youngsters congregate there could always be problems.Unless Guernsey Youngsters are SAINTS,which I doubt.

 

 

[Oi Oi Saveloy]

smudge i agree with you and I'm sorry but students like me and old people like smugger need a little bit of an incentive to spend our little money i mean come on smugger has to go to the post office every week for his pension he can't effort high prices and as a none working student i think we should get concession prices but thats my personal opinion.

Bloody Students! Tax Dodgers!

[Eastside Urchin]

I dont think there are any plans but then i don't think any other clubs have covered standing area? What happened when AFC Wimbledon were in the league? Were they using Kingsmeadow back then? What about when they played away, was there sufficient covered standing area for their away fans?

It shouldn't matter how many standing spectators you can get under cover, provided that your stadium has met the minimum ground requirement for division 1. Next season may be different?

You would not have been allowed to enter the league if you do not meet the minimum G grading.

In the CCL1 this is required:

 

2. SPECTATOR FACILITIES

2.1 Spectator Accommodation

Development, other than hard standing, may all be on one side of the ground.

Covered accommodation, which should preferably be on 2 sides of the ground, must be of sound construction of timber/steel/brick/concrete or any combination of these materials. Existing timber stands are only acceptable subject to a fire risk assessment conducted by a competent person.

The minimum covered accommodation must be 100, of which at least 50 must be seated and located in one stand. Whilst individual seats are preferred, bench seating may be permitted provided that it is in good repair and that individual spaces (min 500mm) are clearly marked.

The 50 seats must afford a good view of the pitch and be clean, functional and in good condition.

Separate seating for Directors/Committee and guests is not compulsory for this grade.

Standing spectators are not allowed in or near a seated spectator stand where they can obstruct views.

Areas where spectators are not permitted to stand must be clearly marked with yellow hatched markings.

Hard standing to a minimum width of 0.9 metre, measured from the spectator side of the pitch perimeter barrier, must be provided on a minimum of 2 adjacent end/sides of the ground with direct access from the entrance. Existing athletics stadia may be exempt from this requirement. The surface must be of a bound material.

 

Once in the CCLPremier it changes to:

 

2. SPECTATOR FACILITIES

2.1 Spectator Accommodation

Development, other than hard standing, may all be on one side of the ground.

Covered accommodation, which should preferably be on 2 sides of the ground, must be of sound construction of timber/steel/brick/concrete or any combination of these materials. Existing timber stands are only acceptable subject to a fire risk assessment conducted by a competent person.

The minimum covered accommodation must be 200, of which at least 100 must be seated. These seats may be located in two stands, each with a minimum capacity of 50. Whilst individual seats are preferred, bench seating may be permitted provided that it is in good repair and that individual spaces (min 500mm) are clearly marked.

These 100 seats must afford a good view of the pitch and be clean, functional and in good condition.

There must be a minimum of 16 seats provided for Directors/Committee and guests. These seats must be clearly marked “Home” and “Away Directors”.

Additional seating may be provided in other areas of the ground. However, these seats are not to be classed as being “in lieu” of the number shown above.

Standing spectators are not allowed in or near a seated spectator stand where they can obstruct views.

Areas where spectators are not permitted to stand must be clearly marked with yellow hatched markings.

Hard standing to a minimum width of 0.9 metre, measured from the spectator side of the pitch perimeter barrier, must be provided on 3 sides of the ground. Existing athletics stadia may be exempt from this requirement. The surface must be of a bound material.

My post above was not about Ground Grading,as it is recognised that Guernsey F.C. have that.As Trebor posted the 700 seats could well be sold out before the season starts.Would you go to a ground in the hissing down rain,and stand in the open,for 90 mins?I personally would not.On current attendance figures 370 people would currently have to do this,would they return again if they got soaking wet.The post was meant as a positive for Guernsey F.C.and will have to be done if they progress,up the pyramid.

[Oi Oi Saveloy]

wow eastside urchin what an informative post lol

Why not, most of us born before the start of the 1990's have done before. I have been to Elm Park a number of times when it tipped it down. Didn't stop me going again.
