Pre-meditated as far as I can see, and if so I hope he's prosecuted.
Town fans below could have been seriously injured. |  |

...onto the roof on purpose, but I suspect he was caught out by the slope.
I suspect we'll have to put the perspex barriers up all the way along now. |  |

On one of the videos its clear he's made no attempt to make himself stop. | |

Looks like it was doesn't it? Not sure how easily you prove that and if it's worth the CPS' time though. What could they secure easily? Drunk and disorderly, public order of some sort and a slap on the wrist? |  |

I'm assuming both he and the fan he landed on is ok?
Can't say I've seen much on it. |  |

It’s about waist height and never happened before as far as I know. Can’t see how it was anything other than a prank gone wrong. Hope there is no repercussions for the club and as someone that has been a season ticket holder in that stand for many years, a Perspex barrier would be awful |  |

After the first goal…
People below were injured.
I’m really not sure if it was on purpose or not. Surely it wasn’t on purpose as you wouldn’t do that to yourself. |  |

Wasn't exactly worried about the landing was he? How far down is it out of interest? I sat up there for the Bolton play-off game and thought better of going down that way on to the pitch after the game. Didn't fancy a broken ankle for Wembley. | |

That’s what I wrote in the comments on the main article page yet curiously have been down voted. It’s clearly an idiot rolling along on purpose. | | | |

Also reminded me of that Wolves fan at Scarborough years ago. Slightly more serious mind as he literally fell through the roof.
Shouldn't think there is anything there from a safety point of view we should be worried about is there? Looks like the guy through himself down there and in the 50 odd years of that stand being up, this hasn't happened before.
I suppose extra measures would've prevented Leicester running on top of the exec boxes in '91 and Town fans dancing on there in 2000 but shouldn't be that necessary. | |

Given the area he dropped from he’s more likely to be a Man Utd fan anyway |  | | |

Scarboroughs first game in the football league in 87 when Colin was their manager. The fan I believe was dancing on the roof and went straight through. | | | |

Or our A block lads against Bolton in 2000.
It does have very easy access and it doesn’t scare people because of the height and room you have. Weird stand really. |  | | |

You've watched that video and come to the conclusion that it may not have been on purpose? lol | | | |

You generally dont raise your legs up and continue rolling if you're trying to stop. | | | |

When I saw it live I thought it was an elderly bloke who'd fallen forwards and then rolled, not so sure from the video. |  | | |

There’s a video from upper tier. It’s an attention seeking chinos wearing day tripper. I think it was on purpose. Not sure they can be prove it though. | | | |

Only incidents I can recall are the Portsmouth bellend and HariKrishna dressed fans (Leicester I think) both deliberate. Bellend stood on the roof of the executive boxes. the others jumped down in to lower tier.
Both deliberate acts as I'm sure was this. The worst outcome is reduced capacity by leaving the front row empty for away fans..
Hopefully he wasn't just escorted out of the ground.. any charge would presumably lead to a banning order. |  |
