    you might get burned by the scary plants!

    "
    Sports fans walking to the KCOM Stadium are "at risk" of harm from a toxic plant which is threatening to encroach on public land, an ecology expert has warned.

    Kieran Sheehan, who has more than 20 years' experience as an environmental consultant, says giant hogweed is a threat to the safety of pedestrians accessing the stadium from the Argyle Street footbridge.


    The plant can cause serious and long-lasting burns to those who come into contact with it and can grow to be several metres tall if it isn't tackled."

    It gives the Council an excuse to close the footpath if they really wanted to.

    Obviously it's just a load of vines from the Upside Down.

    Nothing a bit of fire won't fix.

    Reminds me of the last time Harry Redknapp was at the KCOM.

    Oh hang on, that was Day of the T'riffics.

    It would. There is supposed to be a designated area for them somewhere between the railway lines and the walk way to the stadium.

    Somewhat flippant postings above, but Giant Hogweed can be very dangerous - just don't get any sap on your skin.
