Recommendation TAYL-F19: Keep all perimeter fence gates to pitch unlocked and open during matches
From Taylor Inquiry — Final Report, published 29 January 1990.
Recommendation
Where there is a perimeter fence in front of a pen or enclosure, all gates to the pitch should be kept fully open during the period when spectators are in the pen or enclosure, wherever those in command feel that this can safely be done. Whether they be fully open, partially open or closed, they should be kept unlocked throughout the period when the pen or enclosure is occupied.
