Stand Collapses in the Netherlands

Post by claretburns » Sun Oct 17, 2021 7:59 pm

A stand housing the away Vitesse fans collapsed today at NEC Nijmegen. At full time with the Vitesse fans celebrating a 1-0 win, they were jumping in unison and the stand collapsed. Luckily there are no reports of any injuries.

They stopped celebrating briefly and then started up again.

The only reason there weren't numerous injuries was down to the shipping container that just happened to be underneath it, so the stand didn't fall very far.

This will be the CFS soon if we don’t replace it. It’s an accident waiting to happen.

I reckon they should pull down the Empire State Building in NY then, that was built in the 1930's then PTN ... & what about the Pyramids 🤔

They're keeping the pyramids ready for when safe standing is allowed.
They'll just knock up a footy pitch next to them I heard.
