"Castleford Tigers fans will only be able to enter the Rapid Solicitors Stadium through the turnstiles on Doncaster Road (see map below) and will be directed to either the Eastern terrace along the side of the pitch or the North East corner of the stadium as per their choosing.

The remainder of the North Stand will occupied by home supporters and stewards will be on hand to monitor this"

I have gone to watch Cas play Wakey everytime at Belle Vue for the last 20 odd years and i have stood in the North Stand for pretty much all of them....I wont be changing this year just because the is a roof on there. I think its a bit of a joke to be honest.

I am ambivolent towards this to be honest, I think moving everyone to the low roof stand at the side of the pitch from Cas is perfectly fine from a forward, offiside and general atmosphere perspective.

Good on them for putting the roof on and making some progress, can't help feeling like the focus and objectives might be slightly wrong, but if it makes them feel good - fine. Bigger fish to fry I think rather than keeping the new roof for themselves.

I am sure it will be well managed and well mashalled and the Stewards will have anticipated absolutely the number of walk up customers and the space allocation will be more than adequote.

It is always difficult when there are essentially only two and a bit sides to fit people in where there are proper stands - so compromises need to be made.

absolutely ridiculous, just because you have your "precious" roof it means we can't stand under there and have to suffer down the worst stand in rugby history?

No mate....it's at Belle Vue, not Wheldon Road...

our side stands are incredibly better than yours, plus we have 4 stands, you have 3!!!!

Ah well, if they want to do that, let's return the favour and make it so Wakefield fans can only stand in the Railway End and if they are found anywhere else they will be escorted to the RWE and if they don't comply, boot em out.

Don't forget our beloved block of portacabins!

Yeah, but my dad's bigger than your dad....

Some rather childish over-reactions to this, thankfully from a very small minority.

In reality, it's a perfectly sensible way to manage what is likely to be a sold out event. In the real world, some people don't know how to behave themselves in decent company, so crowds have to be managed in such a way as to minimise the impact those morons can have on other people - this is one such measure.

Enjoy the game!

Enjoy the Railway end when the game is at Cas, as you said some people don't know how to behave themselves, and as such you should be stuck in the stand with no roof.

Funny how the club were never bothered about it until you got a roof though



I do hope Mr Glover will refund anyone who has purchased "general admission" tickets because they are no longer for general admission.

Not sure this is needed, never had any problems with Cas fans home or away. Even the relegation game was more bravado than real menace. I suspect you'll still be sanding with us anyway, if so I look forward to the banter.

Are Wakey for real?
So 'football segragation' is finally going ahead.....
How will this be enforced? Do all fans have to keep their ticket on them at all times in case the Ticket Gestapo come a calling?
How do the Wakey fans who normally stand in the now Cas Corner feel about being moved?
I know Wakey fans who have stood there for years.
And Why should Cas not retaliate in kind with standing arrangements for the return fixture.

Talk about stirring up a hornets nest before a passionate game, I suggest more stewards may be needed.

Why not leave it up to fans and common sense for where you stand....mind you it is Wakeys game and as such theirs to steward properly should anything happen, their problem with the RFL.....

They should do it all the time anyway, make the away fans stand in the worst stand in the stadium, KR do it and Wakey are now.

They always segregate at cup finals and this is wakeys cup final so whats the problem ?

And if were near the donny road end it will be a quicker exit from that awful ''city''

How do you go on if you are going to the match with a Wakey fan?

What a pathetic state of affairs.

Whilst appreciative that the club have been forward thinking in attempt to reduce the liklihood of problematic fans (those drinking too much ale on a BH) this scenario seems to cause more problems than it solves. It'll be impossible to police and marshall correctly and will frustrate and anger fans from both sides especially those who will be attending with friends who support the opposite team to them.

Hopefully sense will prevail and folk will be available to stand where they please and enjoy the game

Insightful as always! Do you ever actually contribute anything to debate other than bile and infantile comment?

Papieren!

Stuff that for a game of soldiers, you can stick your stand where the sun don't shine, I've stood behind them sticks for too many years to mention in every kind of weather. I for one will not now be going, I hope the favour is returned when you visIt WR and you are treated in the same manner and lets see how disgusted you feel when you are told where you can and where you can't stand and please god, let it pour down.

This thread is embarrasing, it's their ground they do what they want
Deal with it!

I also think its more a reaction to gonorth than segregation, and surprise that's their perogotive

Enjoy the game and move on ffs
