JAKARTA - Chairman of The Jakmania, Dicky Sumarno asked PT Jakarta Propertindo (Perseroda) to evaluate and prepare various matters related to audience safety at the Jakarta International Stadium (JIS).

He was grateful that the incident of the fence collapsing in one of the stands at the stadium occurred during the inauguration of JIS, not during a league match.

Because according to him, if the parapet collapsed when the league was rolling, Persija Jakarta would be fined.

"Fortunately, at the inauguration, not when the league started. If not (at the inauguration) Persija would have been fined all sorts of things, right," Dicky said as quoted by ANTARA, Sunday, July 24.

Dicky compared the condition of JIS with the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium (SUGBK) which already has more complete security facilities for the safety of supporters (audience).

SUGBK, he said, already has facilities that are safe enough for the supporter guides, aka "capos", when singing support songs.

"This means that there are many things that must be prepared, if in other places, say there is a 'stagger' in GBK for the 'capo' to sing all kinds of things. Here (JIS) doesn't exist yet," said Dicky.

According to Dicky, the character of football viewers is different from the general public, because the passion for watching football can increase 100 times than usual. Because of that, jumping fences and so on can happen.

The President Director of the DKI Jakarta Province Regional-Owned Enterprises (BUMD), PT Jakarta Propertindo (Jakpro) Widi Amanasto said that he was still seeing the impact of the JIS fence incident that collapsed at the stadium's inauguration.

"Of course, for us, Jakpro is for us to see first. We will check the strength again, everything will be like that later," said Widi in the JIS conference room.

DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan said the JIS guardrail could collapse due to the very high enthusiasm of the audience.

Especially when JIS was used for the first time in its entirety to host the Persija Jakarta match which was attended by The Jakmania.

"Regarding the fence, I think the enthusiasm was extremely high and this is the first time that all of them have been used," said Anies in the JIS press conference room.

Widi Amanasto also assessed that the collapse of the fence was due to the enthusiasm of the Kemayoran Tiger supporters.

He even felt proud of the enthusiasm of thousands of The Jakmania which was extraordinary tonight.

"As before, the Governor said that The Jak's enthusiasm was extraordinary. We are proud, extraordinary because this is his enthusiasm," said Widi.

Widi then said that Jakpro would evaluate the damage caused by the collapse of the fence and its canopy.

"We'll check everything again later. So at the same time this is something we have to 'follow up' again and we evaluate these conditions," said Widi.

The northern part of JIS collapsed during the stadium's inauguration ceremony, Sunday evening.

From the incident of the collapse of the guardrail of the JIS tribune, it was observed from a distance that a spectator fell down behind the goal.
