The video has sparked concerns about the safety of football fans and the need for greater safety measures at football matches. “This is appalling. It’s only a game but taking it too far for some can lead to this. A caught-up bystander could have fallen on the tracks as well,” wrote one Twitter user.
The Sun Online has asked the British Transport Police and the South Yorkshire Police to say something about what happened. Football teams have also been told to do more to make sure their fans are safe and to work with the police to stop similar things from happening again.
The thing that happened at the Sheffield train station shows how important safety and security are at football games and how more needs to be done to protect fans and stop fights.
