This suggests that it is something that's now being strictly enforced rather than a situation where "home fans who have traditionally stood in the Western Terrace will not be prevented from doing so".

I've stood on the West Terrace for all but a handful of the matches I've watched over the 25 years I've been supporting Wakefield. The East Terrace is a far worse view and I hate watching rugby from behind the sticks at just about any ground (IMO the only semi-reasonable view from behind the sticks is the upper part of the away stand at Wigan).

Aside from the drunken "antics" in the north-east corner that have blighted a few of the more recent matches against Cas, the only time I've seen anything approaching "serious" trouble was (ironically) a match against Hull in the mid-nineties. Even then it was something that finished as quickly as it had started.

If this "polite request" has become a (ridiculous) rule in the space of a few matches, I may well have watched my last match at BV. Clearly the move to Newmarket can't come soon enough.

That's fair enough. I still maintain that little or no real efforts have been made to root out the trouble causers. It's all about opinion.

I think the club welcome opinions, but ATEOTD they have to make a call and it would certainly help us all achieve the aim of enjoying a safe environment if we abide by what they have asked for. Beyond that you are into the realms of it being a private company on private land and if we don't follow the rules then.....

There is a line - if you breach that line then you are in danger of becoming part of the problem rather than the solution!

Can't believe we're still arguing about this. Let's mve on.

I can't believe I'm quoting Tony Blair, but when you decide, you divide; I guess the skill is leaving as few people as possible feeling disgruntled and that's what appears to have happened here, since whilst some people have what they perceive to be a valid grievance, they seem to be relatively few in number.

You can't please all of the people and all that jazz.
