Bolton Wanderers boss Ian Evatt's strong concern about player and staff safety as question posed
08.02.2022 - 08:15 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Bolton Wanderers boss Ian Evatt believes there is increasing concern over the safety of players and staff at football matches and questioned whether smaller stadiums such as Morecambe's are capable of coping with large crowds.
Wanderers' game over the weekend was marred by issues off the pitch, including an alleged racist remark being made to the Bolton bench which has led to a man being arrested and bailed in connection with the incident.
There was also a pitch invasion by some Bolton fans following Amadou Bakayoko's dramatic late equaliser cancelling out Cole Stockton's opener.

A number of Bolton fans were also arrested at the match on suspicion of assault, pitch encroachment and of being drunk and disorderly.
The incidents at the League One game was followed by a pitch invader being arrested during Nottingham Forest's FA Cup victory over Leicester City on Sunday.
And Evatt believes there is 'one hunderd per cent' increasing concern about the safety of players and staff at grounds as he called for the relevant authorities to be looking more at this issue.
He said: "We see all these fixtures – the amount of policing and stewarding that is surrounding supporters, especially away supporters. But some of these stadiums, the dugouts and technical areas are built into the stands so you’re literally sat with supporters.
"How are these supporters vetted? I don’t know. Are they security checked? I don’t know. These are extremes but any one of these could have a weapon.
"What’s it going to take before we start bringing in more measures and being more stringent with our policies? It’s happening more and more often.
