bell

[Southport - TOWNER]

mrs safety officer, can you ask mt safety officer, if we can not have a drum at evening games, can we have a bell? thank u x

I don't want to be funny, but how is it the safety officer's decision? It could be a planning issue (unlikely) or it could be a board's (and thus the club's) policy decision, but I don't see how it is a safety issue.

[Mr Happy]

Coz if a board member asked you to do something you would probably laugh!!! If Dave asked you to do something you'd say "Yes Sir Mr Safety Officer Sir" and comply with his instructions immediately!!!

[The Invisible Man]

I didn't mean who implements the decision, or enforces the policy, I meant who makes it.

 

Our security officer and stewarding are in my opinion second to none and are surely the envy of other clubs at our level and more than one step higher, but I'm not sure that it's fair to ask him to make decisions that are not really directly in his remit. If the club (i.e. the Board on behalf of the members) decide that bells, drums, whistles, rasberry blowing or tuneles humming are not permitted in the ground, the stwerads are requireed to politely enforce it, but it is not their decision in the first place. Suppose Dave said it was ok but it turned out that our planning permission or an ancient bye-law expressly forbids the ringing of bells? It's not fair on him. Conversely it's not fair on anyone else if he unilaterally decides it's not ok.

[lovely stuff]

I think (and hope) that our safety officer is simply carrying out instruction from the board.

 

I agree that Drums/musical intruments should be banned from night games.But i think that anything should be allowed for 90 minutes on Saturday afternoons.

so as it's not no its yes!

[The Invisible Man]

So if you take your bell ST, does that mean that no-one can ring last orders/time in the Wheatsheaf tonight?

[Southport - TOWNER]

hee hee, in the words of Arnie, "i'll be back"!!!

 

 

[Gazza]

Im sorry, I thought I read "A bell"?

 

A fecking bell??

 

Whats that all about?

 

I mean.....a bell?

 

Theres going to be a chant that goes with that fecking bell isnt there? I just know there is......Oh ye gods!

[Squadron Leader]

 

I think Tuesday Night games will have to remain Drumless & Bell-less due to the local Residents who will complain about absolutely anything.

 

You have got to feel sorry for the poor Rothwell Town Coach driver who got a load of grief from some numpty woman last night when he was trying to park his coach out of harms way, all she could do was keep bibbing her stupid hooter. She just would not listen to him when he was trying to explain to her that he was just trying to Park the thing.

 

Mr Safety Officer "Oh he who must be obeyed" (on matchdays that is) had to have a word to the Mad Man on the Mike last night who was trying to give a running comentary on the Penalty shoot out, he politely reminded him what time it was!!!

 

I agree I think on Saturday anything goes, Drums, Bells, Marching Bands (watch this space!!!!) the lot.
