Maidstone 12:27 - Apr 9 with 1589 views | flykickingbybgunn | That the bloke who fell out of the Cobbold upper is being prposecuted is not a surprise. However considering the event was in January 2024 why is it taking until September 2026 to get him to court ? |  | | |  |

Doesn’t feel like the best use of the justice system or public spending (which is probably why it’s taken 2 years). |  | |  |

He's pleaded not guilty, hence it's going to trial. Two-year delay is comparatively short compared to the time a lawyer friend of mine told me some of his clients have had to wait. |  | |  |
Maidstone on 12:37 - Apr 9 with 1465 views | usm | He's been charged with causing ABH and 2 X assault by beating. He fell on a couple I thought. Is that what constitutes ABH and assault by beating these days? Blimey. |  |

Fair enough. In that case he deserves his day in court to put his side across. |  | |  |

Must be more to it I guess. As you say based on whah I saw it looked like drunk idiot antics rather than anything designed to cause harm. |  | |  |

The Maidstone guy definitely isn't going to prison. Might have been 'drunk antics' as it was put, but if someone was injured, 'he was just drunk' shouldn't be a reason to not prosecute if there was a crime. Especially when said person 100% deliberately rolled themselves down that roof. |  |

If he’s landing on a child he’s causing them serious damage. Him doing that was easily one of the stupid things I’ve seen anyone ever do in a football ground. Just such a shame he didn’t do it 5meters to the left so he dropped down to the concreter 5/6meters below |  |

Doesn’t matter if it was designed to cause harm or not. The idiot could have caused serious injury or even killed somebody. |  | |  |
