hearts 4 the cup Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Can’t help but think it’s a waste of money. I get the club might have to spend more in the long run on fines etc but surely £100k could’ve been better spent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambopilms Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 (edited) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ look at me post Surely there is a playing budget and a stadium infrastructure budget. So this money is more likely to affect the new stand getting finished, the big screens going up or the corners getting filled in.

The worst elements need to be rooted out and deterred - it needs to be somewhere that you would be comfortable bringing your kids without all that rubbish going on. It is definitely a deterrent for those with young children. Those young children are the future as they say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamboAl Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Actually it could turn out to be money well spent although if people would simply behave it would not be necessary. If an incident occurs and is serious enough, the GFA may ask/tell us to close a section of the ground. That could result in loss of income although exactly how much would be difficult to work out. The immediate loss would only apply to paying customers as ST money is paid up front. What is certain is that we should not be fined for doing nothing.

Lovecraft Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 (edited) Just so everyone remembers..... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-48855542 Sadly, modern times need CCTV. Blame the arsehole fans. Do you blame a shop for putting in CCTV because their shit keeps getting nicked? Also, the club pays insurance remember. If some arsehole chucks a flare into the stands that starts a fire causing X amount of damage, do you think they will pay out?

Beast Boy Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 I think some people have to just accept that times have changed, and societal ideas about what is deemed acceptable or not has changed again.

Jambos_1874 Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Bottom line is that we, like many other supports, have a minority (and it is a small minority, unlike the OF where it is a large minority) of absolute scum in our support. People can complain about the atmosphere being sanitised, a nanny state etc but because of these idiots we have to "waste" money on CCTV.

I will make a, pretty sure, prediction though. There will be threads...maybe even this one...after an OF visit to Tynecastle, with many posts questioning the validity of this system, when it appears, appears mind, that the rules are not being enforced across the board. To put my cynical hat on....if this results in a big increase in Roseburn bad behaviour being prosecuted at Cat A games...i’ll eat my hat !
