"My concern is that this area (the stadium) is safe and that steps are taken as soon as possible to make this area safe. Although I am not an expert, this report (the letter) suggests that there needs to be some steps taken to make this area safe. What I really need to understand is the risk associated with the barriers."
"He said the report should review the design, height and placement of barriers on level five of the stadium, where Mr Claydon fell from. The coroner said the report should also contain a risk assessment of the placement of the barriers, and indicate whether any modifications have been made to the barriers since their installation."
Lee Claydon, 41, fell from level five of Wembley Stadium during an Oasis concert. Senior coroner Andrew Walker ordered a comprehensive safety report examining the design, height, and placement of barriers at that location. The report must include risk assessments and clarify whether modifications have been made since installation and if current safety regulations provide adequate protection. The coroner's decision followed a letter from a former Wembley employee, written approximately 20 years ago, raising safety concerns. The letter was disclosed to Brent Council, Claydon's family, and the Football Association. Metropolitan Police concluded the death was a tragic accident, ruling out suicide or third-party involvement. The inquest was adjourned until April 29.
