Exit at end of game

[Logicalman]

Sounds like a bit of a fire hazard to me, surely all exits should be open in case of emergencies.

I suspect it's about the initial exit of the larger crowd from the Riverside Stand now the stand is full.
 
But like everything else, the Riverside safety gets preference over other stands, like no safe standing, the slope down the Hammersmith gates in winter, small concourse, poor Toilet and Food Outlets, etc, until there is a crush or some bad accidents the club will probably ignore those problems. 

This is one of the primary reasons I am considering giving up my season ticket (or moving stands). The Hammersmith End is starting to feel like a bad accident just waiting to happen.

They really buggered up the commission and design of the new stand. For all its benefits and modern design, it's simply not designed properly as a football stand. Not enough gates, means packed terraces, people not moving freely enough at half and full time. Poor facilities too. Yes, it looks great, but boy is it inadequate for what it's meant to be for.

That surprises me as personally I think it's up there with best in the country, as do most that join me from time to time. Frustrating that some sections are a bit elitist but I guess its the way with many things these days.

It happened at the Eintracht Frankfurt pre-season friendly.   Don't know about the man utd game.

Was deffo opened for Man U, several friends from the Hammersmith end joined for beers after the game....

The lower level was opened ten minutes after the game possibly because of the build up of people trying to leave the Hammy. We went down and walked back along to the river side where we had a beer and a burger and watched Anthony Robinson being interviewed. It could have been an experiment that failed and may not be repeated

I believe initially they stated you could enter the Riverside stand from the other stands at 17.15 when it was a 15.00 kick off.We had a drink after the Leeds game in the Riverside and walked straight in.My Cousin's over from Ireland were well impressed. Quite a few of us are going in after the match for a few drinks before we go off somewhere else.
