[Official Site] PACK THE PONTY

It's discussed in the article wolves:

Earlier this year, we pledged to put Reds Reserved Members unique t-shirts on seats in the Ponty End. For health and safety reasons, this wasn't given the green light. Communication regarding how entitled members can claim their free shirt will be sent shortly.

 

I'm not that sexy though

 

I'd got used to seeing the Pigeon ****.

 

You can't see it on the TV cameras, silly boy

 

That's 'cos they're not a permanent fixture.

 

Yeh, saw that. I know I'm being very picky here but given that the t-shirts was one of the benefits of membership and that previous communication was that they'd be put on seats (and I've seen previous threads on here querying why it hadn't happened / when it would etc) I think it warrants a separate communication rather than just a sentence in this one. I think some people may miss it in here because they might not even open it. And even if they do the message communicates about the flags and the bit about the shirts seems an afterthought. It's perhaps a timing issue as it clearly references the comms that will be sent separately re the shirt but it might have been better to sort that one before this imo.
Last season and this the club haven't covered themselves in glory in delivering against the promises made as part of the membership offer and so I think it increases the importance of communicating pro-actively, making sure everyone is aware and updated and delivering comms deliberately and intentionally so that members feel understood, special and valued etc.
Or perhaps I'm a miserable b****r.

 

Well my Chien Lee Barnsley F.C Chocolate Dildo melted in the August sun. So there's probably a brown stain on my seat.

 

That does actually happen at most, if not all grounds now as far as I know..

 

You have to have a fire certificate to take your flags into grounds these days, laws came in around 10-15 years ago, some grounds still don't request to see them though. I bought my flag a few years before the legislation came in just for the England away games so it doesn't have a fire certificate. There's a treatment that they put on the flags for £50 at barmyflags.co.uk and issue you a fire cert.

 

It is a bit confusing as to health and safety requirements when there is no one actually in the Ponty end.

 

This does seem a bit 'health and safety gone mad'

 

Do clothes have to have one when we return then ,or are we ok to set fire to those when we lose

 

It comes attached to the flag

 

The big Preedy/Cryne flag came with the fire certificate sewn in to one corner of it. We've had to show it at Oakwell and at several other grounds before being allowed in.

 

I swear this fire safety certificate issue has been discussed hundreds of times on here over the years.

You’ll struggle to get any flag into a UK stadium without one, has been the case for years.

 

Does fire safe certificate part of the Cryne flag require its own fire safe certificate?

 

I agree with the sentiment mate but in actual fact human spontaneous combustion is a myth.

Another couple of points not yet mentioned in the thread...1 What are all those cut outs of fans that some clubs have installed made of? I bet they are don't come with a fire safety certificate and 2...are the stadium seats fireproof. if not they are more of a risk than the flags and if they are, flags catching fire wont be any risk. The H&S risk assessor needs to get his head out of his ar*se IMO (as a theatre technician even in a tiny Studio Theatre I had to do risk assessments before every public perfomance in a potentially dangerous environment...slips trips falls, 3 phase electrics, working at heights in poorly lit environment especially during performances and potentially hazardous to both public, crew and performers. also technical maintenance using hazardous substances (COSHH) safe disposal of old theatre etc. etc.lamps handling / safe storage of dry ice.

 

Its obvious what counts as safe or not and isn't there an evac chair for egress in an emergency
