Slippy and Dangerous flooring at the stadium.

I would have thought in a venue attended by fifty four thousand people evey other week they would have tested it prior but obviously not.

We probably end up playing out the remainder of the season behind closed doors!

Just close the third tiers, repaint all the first & second levels, refuse the early leavers entrance to the ground and we'll all be fine ;)

they did a test event but it was a dry day.

I wonder how much the manager gets paid? Far too much given that he can't do a risk assessment that includes a bit of water on the floor or respond (judging by this thread) to multiple near misses and incidents.

I have emailed head of safety contact from the official site of my slip. Although it was innocuous and I'm fine, anything to help build a case up to ensure the safety of elders and those less able to take the impact of a fall.

Doesn't help that the rain blows in at the corner of the Colin Bell stand and South Stand

It's just city doing a survey to see how much Blues like Ice hockey before they build the ice rink on the campus.

Seriously though, a elder man I know on the east stand level 1 (Y entrance) when leaving on Saturday slipped and fell down... The Stewards rushed to get to him in fairness but he got up, a little shaken and seemed alright.

It is a problem that needs fixing before someone is seriously injured.

Misery has been pestering me to take her skating for the last 10 or so Christmases , I could kill 2 stones with 1 bird, has anybody got a spare for the next home game before the bastards fix the problem cheers?

I slipped over at the entrance to the South Stand 3rd tier loos at the Southampton game. Really painful and had to be helped up. My elbow still hurts over 2 weeks later. I contacted the club and have been told that it complies to health & safety but they would continue to monitor it.
In my mind it's really dangerous. I'd slipped once before and that was without the water, but with the rain it is like an ice rink.
