Man United the shock leaders in table of Premier League’s most incidents at grounds | OneFootball

Manchester United and Chelsea are the leaders in a shocking table of incidents to occur at the grounds of Premier League clubs.

The Daily Mail have covered data which shows that United and Chelsea each had five reported incidents to the Health and Safety Executive. These incidents unfolded at Old Trafford and Stamford Bridge respectively.

The newspaper’s Mike Keegan divulged details of some of the astonishing occurrences, as noted by a Freedom of Information request.

Keegan points out, “The report discloses that the ‘senior’ chef at Old Trafford inadvertently touched a button in the kitchen that was missing a cap. As a result his finger hit a live fuse, resulting in a ‘loud bang'”.

It’s understood the chef burnt the end of his finger and felt electric current coursing through his body. The individual is said to have been left sick and confused for a while.

“A medic arrived and the chef’s blood pressure was taken, along with an ECG. The results came back fine and he returned to work. An electrician was called and the offending button was isolated.”

“United launched an investigation but, according to the report, nobody would admit to having removed the cap.”

In another instance, an employee of the Red Devils suffered some inhalation after the club’s supporters lit smoke bombs and flares close to turnstiles while protesting against the Glazers’ ownership.

The Mail mentions that the United worker fell ill and started vomiting. Said person was taken to hospital for immediate medical assistance.

Additionally, “A carpenter working on a bar at the stadium drilled through his own thumb while trying to fit a new door.”

Some of Chelsea’s incidents revolved around a steward being doused in beer by a fan after a burning flare flew into his eye and two fans sustaining injuries in slips as they left Stamford Bridge.

In total, all Premier League clubs reported 30 incidents over the period. Reports are made if the unfortunate people involved are hurt to the extent that they need more than a week away from work before they return.
