Newcastle United fans say fence near grounds could be dangerous

Football fans have raised safety concerns about a fence which has been installed outside of a club's ground.

The wooden fence has been erected outside the East Stand entrance of Newcastle United's St James' Park, sparking fears fans could be injured as they leave the stadium.

The club said it did not own the land where the fence has been built and had contacted the landowner about the issue.

The Newcastle United Supporters Trust said putting obstacles, such as the fence, "in the way of supporters could have dangerous consequences and result in significant overcrowding".

Earlier this month, a portable building was placed on the same piece of land.
