Middlesbrough FC Safety Officer Sue Watson has
made herself a figure of hate in the north east by sending a
poorly-worded letter to fans who sit in a particular area of the
Riverside Stadium, asking them to sit down and shut up.
As we all know, standing up during a game is extremely hazardous
and a dangerous breach of fire safety codes, but the fans have also
been told that their loud support is “driving some fans mad”. It
sounds like a ridiculous hoax, but the folks in health and safety
really do want to make the stadium quieter than The Emirates.
