Thought better of it?????

It didnt look badly organised what happened once evryone knew what was going on. Obviously it isnt an everyday occurence and is probably hard to plan for. In the South Stand we had no idea as to what was going on and whether we were to leave the stand or not due to the tannoy system been crap. We obviously heard the alarm going off for about 5 minutes before it seemed anybody realised it was a fire alarm. It did however appear that it took the 4th official running on the pitch to inform the ref to stop the game before people realised what was going on, i guess we can hope this wasnt the case and an announcment was given out long before this.

Yea - put my H&S hat on typed the msg - read in put my Blue and white hat back on, and deleted it just in case the RFL are looking as it did not make good reading! lol

i sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo need a job...........................

In response to Sarah's post, the main problem that I and the other wheelchair users encountered was that we were not informed what was happening for at least 5 minutes whilst we waited by the staircase. After we arrived at the lift, which was switched off for safety reasons, a chap with a walkie talkie told us to hang on whilst he found out if it was a false alarm. None of us were worrying, but no other members of staff remained with us during that wait. He eventually returned and told us to return to our seating area but we were left without information for what could have been a critical period if it had been a proper fire. An evac-chair was present at the top of the stairs, but I don't know whether there is more than one available to cope with the few wheelchair users stranded up there.

Remember what you saw on the way into the ground? The Fire Brigade were already on-site. No need for any panic!
