Not to mention the blue seat that almost cracked me on the back of the head after being thrown from the back

Although on the face of it the Cowshed Stand looks impressive by our league standards there are a number of safety features that could be improved.
The steps are incredibly steep and 'deep' and I noticed specifically that the vomitories running between the seat rows were considerably wide. The positive point being that this speeds up the ingress and egress of fan movement. However, the big downside is that should anybody stumble or fall there is absolutely nothing to break your fall.
Looking at the steps closer I saw a 'circle' in each of the steps suggesting that at some time there were, sometime in the distant past, vertical steel poles supporting hand rails which have since been removed and their anchor points filled with concrete.

Perhaps for the visit of Dover and the likes these issues aren't so much a problem but today with a very packed stand and supporters of all shapes, sizes and ages it was.
Adding to the fact that many supporters had consumed alcohol - I would love to know when and why the safety rails were removed and a view of the stadium accident records could make interesting viewing as when we were leaving we saw another older Wrexham fan at the base of the stairs receiving treatment.

What are vomitories?

Exit/Entry stairwells.

For somebody like myself who is walking disabled these steep steps are a nightmare and usually have no handrails.

When the incident happened the first aiders were texting on their phones the Head Steward was going mental at them to get their arses down to treat the injured guy.

At fist I thought he had been hit by the flare or the bottle but was told later he had collapsed somebody said his name was Dai Twin.

Hope he's ok today.

Heard of a couple of people who lost a bit of skin off their shins celebrating the goal

How the hell have they been allowed to leave them like that??

Hope the poor fella who got hurt puts a claim in as they are extremely dangerous.
