    and thought &quot;Balls to it, I'll take lift passes off folk&quot;</p>



    Cos I bet he and the Club certainly didn't take advice from legal types who have experience in the aftermath of such incidents that the club are thinking of.</p>



    Fvcking Jesus truly wept.</p>

    RE: The statement refers to....

    They've withdrawn them because in the event of an emergency the lifts are out of action. They therefore could not guarantee the safe evacuation of those folk in an emergency.</p>



    It may seem a bit of overkill, but the HSE etc aren't known for their application of common sense. The club has to comply as does any organisation. Safety first.</p>

    RE: The statement refers to....

    I think that perhaps the notion is that, people who find difficulty ascending stairs to high places are likely to be in danger of evacuating such areas safely in an emergency.</p>

    As such, it is possible they could be a risk to themselves, AND to other people wanting fast egress from a stadium.</p>

    Perhaps people who have such difficulty would be better sitting in places which are easier to get into and out of.</p>

    Simple really.</p>

    Put some sort of disclaimer in.

    Say something along the lines of "In the event of a fire you are likely to burn to death and it won't be our fault".

    Ah but, therein lies the problem

    ... not only may they burn to death, but a domino cascade of bodies tripping over them in order to get past could cause a lot more to come to grief - and not necessarily from fire.</p>

    Give their relatives an air rifle so they can shoot them down soon as they reach home.

    Agreed

    Something like a moving room

    We could call it a lift!

    Or an OAP oven. Gas mark 9 for 30 mins should do it.
