In sure there'll some statement from the Allams in due course threatening to do something maybe move to Melton......... oh hang a minute that's was years ago.
Hope they get fined for wasting Police & Fire Brigade time when they just had to open the gate.
So now the emergency services will be in the firing line no doubt for daring to actually take action. W⚓️s the pair of them.
I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!
Not just that the Council had even blocked it off although the local councillor was threatening to tear it down! His actions seemed to have worked too as the SMC have backed down!!

Agreed that it's a partial victory, but it shouldn't be locked at all, it's public land.

Struggle to understand what land the SMC 'own' when it is all land owned by the Council. The gate has been put there for one reason and that's to make life difficult for everyone in the City that uses that route in everyday life . The terrorism threat excuse is just trying to hide behind the fear factor and is pathetic. I'm sure a gate is really going to stop someone when the stadium can be accessed easily from the park.

I think the theory is that, having evaded detection whilst studying Jolly Rogers Cook Book, buying the materials online, building the device and attending the mosque, Jonny Terrorist will decide that, instead of getting a bus to Walton Street or Spring Bank to carry out the deadly deed, it’s all become “too difficult” because he can’t go to St Stephens on the way for Nando’s and walk down Londesborough Street, to the stadium via the walkway, so he’s going to become a volunteer at The Samaritans and breed fluffy bunnies instead. That’ll show the infidels!!

What I do find daft about this is that the gate is opened when city games are on so what allam is saying is we will close the gate to stop a terrorist attack when the stadium is empty but leave it open to make it easier for the terrorist when there is a bunch of people in there...
