its more a case of the club sticking to thier word
MD agreed at the Oxvox open members meeting that future use of the riot fence would be announced in advance by the club via social media as well as via the tannoy system at the match where it was in use.
also the enquiry into the series of failures post match v Man City, where many OUFC supporters had their safety compromised announced in the recently published results of said enquiry that use of the riot fence must be announced in advance via social media AND VIA THE TANNOY
you may be quite happy that the current club officials don't keep to their word given at a meeting ( minutes of which are in a thread in the Oxvox section) , you may be equally happy that the current club officials go against what was circulated in the report from the Safety group enquiry, which not only gives results of what n where things went wrong, but also a number of points, one of which being communicating to supporters that the riot fence will be in use via social media , AND THE TANNOY.
@Followtheox1? .... to answer your question my life wasnt impacted by last nights game, or any perifery activities/ non activities ( pleased that the Us won though
) also the club officials pissarsing about with safety matters didnt impact on my life last night, but, post the Man City game I was caught up in the crush outside the quadrangle, nearly fell to the ground in the crush, I helped up a small child who had been knocked over as well as steady the small childs mother who also very nearly fell over in the avoidable crush of bodies channel through a very narrow, limited area. The point is if the club officials only pay lip service to what the MD has announced, and it appears IGNORE requirements set out in results of an enquiry into a seriously dangerous situation that occurred earlier this season, at the breeze block, after a match. OUFC club officials chose to basically ignore 'everything' on the subject.
It was announced yesterday afternoon that the riot fence will be in use...subsequently it turned out it wasnt after all, club officials ONLY used twitter to inform that it wasnt after all in use last night. Im certainly NOT happy at all that Ive been misled by OUFC MD and that the club evidently is choosing to ignore directions contained in the safety group
Safety of paying 'customers' as far as Im concerned should be at the forefront of ALL matters that OUFC club officials have any involvement with.
You,
@Followtheox1 may have a similar outlook as OUFC club officials have regarding safety (as in little if any concerns when it comes to the paying public, I most certainly do not., I believe Safety is a serious business, the current OUFC officials judging by last nights 'cock up' re use of the riot fence and failure to communicate in 1) how the MD agreed it would be announced & 2) ignores part of the Safety group report.
Id rather raise the clubs failings on this, on here (yf), than silently wait for serious injury to be caused due to negligence,
