    Heard a loud bang as part of the memorabilia stall fell over (Not sure how,) on the concourse at half time. Hope the lady is OK as apparantly her foot took a nasty blow and may even have been broke ?. According to mi mate who with others lifted it up off her. (ambulance was called)

    Yes it was a very loud bang. Questions will be asked as to why the stall wasn't properly sturdy, as it shouldn't be happening.

    The wheel fell off it.

    Hope she's okay

    I was right by it, watching the first half highlights on the telly. Didn't see it topple over, but the noise was incredibly loud. Lady on the floor being helped was all I saw. Noticed the missing wheel as we came out at FT.

    Could - and should - cost the club a fair whack.

    Wasn’t aware of that. Hope the lady is ok.

    Yes that will cost the club a few quid you’d imagine - hope they look after her and not force her through unnecessary litigation.

    I’d imagine that’s the last we see of that ‘pop up’ as well, it’s clearly not safe.

    Just a thought. Would it be the club's or Fanatics problem. ?.

    It was a Fanatics display and Fanatics staff. Obviously the club will take it very seriously and ensure such a thing cant happen again.

    Presumably this would fall within the scope of their public liability insurance.
