The turnstiles are not in operation due to a managerial problem. I will look into this and try to rectify the issue. You are permitted to watch the game on the Eastern Paddock or Seated East Stand

Exactly, 60m accross the entire north stand isn't really a 'convenience' is it. The ones on the western terrace have to be accessable to all or some other new portables installed up by the food stand, where they used to be.

Think they were probably low because the service was so slow that people walked away.

I've always stood on the North Terrace so am delighted to have had a roof put on, but I can see the guy's point of view (no pun intended) - People who have been going a long time will be used to seeing the game from a certain spot.

I for one don't like the views from the sides, so would have felt aggrieved if the club told me I had to stand down there due to a few idiots who can't handle their beer.

BUT

I do think it's the only sensible way to resolve the situations that were occurring under the roof, people will adjust and move on.

I have just said that the western terrace toilets will be used by both sets of fans. A 60m walk to the toilets isn't unreasonable but each to their own on this topic

That's a fair point, will certainly bring this matter up and try to accommodate you

Doesn't affect me Davide as I have always stood behind the posts in the North Stand and will continue to do so. If people are intent on causing aggro with opposition fans, they will do so outside the ground, so segregation will not stop that problem. The other issues could equally lead to complaints by Wakefield fans. Hence my comment about trying to deal with the offenders to eradicate the problems.

I am not being critical of the club here, I know this is not an easy issue to deal with and that various other parties have been consulted, just stating my opinion

I'm afraid to walk to those areas is even further from St catherine Street.
After all these years I feel i will have to accept that this will be my last year of support.

If this policy had been announced at the start of the season I would not have bought a season ticket and will not be renewing. Match day experience totally ruined.
Thanks for reply.
Thought we were trying to get them in? Not force them out!

Again a fair point, we are responsible for the entire footprint of our stadium so we will increase stewarding on the exits too. Your right and in principle we will isolate the offenders and ban them but this takes time. Can i point out that I have not received a single complaint about any such behaviour against Hull FC. This is a credit to both sets of supporters

Thats fair enough, thanks for your support

Its further than 60m but anyway thats not the point. I understand why this has to be done but make sure the stewards let people through to them next time because they weren't doing. It is one of those things that put people off coming back and i'm pretty sure the club doesn't need that. Communication is key!

sorry to hear that and thanks for the support

Attending sports fixtures is all about routine and tradition. If you have always watched the same event from the same place, then it feels alien to watch it from somewhere else, and if you feel it is part of your matchday routine, then things aren't the same. Human nature.

As I've said, I'm not saying the club were necessarily wrong, but my match day experience is significantly lessened. That's just how it is.

But with Newmarket around the corner, I can live with it.

I would disagree with this point, that might be your experience and you are entitled to it but its not everyones. My opinion would be going to watch a game of rugby league, feeling safe and experiencing a positive atmosphere. My experience was lessoned at the Castleford game due to drunken fans, swearing and people throwing missiles.

D avide - I know exceptions can be the thin edge of the wedge but are you really happy with the club being unable to accommodate a supporter of 60 years with failing eyesight?

Not having go on this but the game was called off twice both at fairly short notice to kick off but no statement was ever issued,I don't think there was ever any intention to inform us about the segregation at all! You had all week prior to that to do so.

Thanks for all the comments, I will certainly pass them all on.

That was bought on by yourselves and the go north farce from last years game against Cas which raised tensions between supporters. No segregation at the battle of belle vue with 11k packed in.

I really don't know what to make of this thread and i feel this will not end on a high note.

I like to stand on the western terrace in the corner when playing towards Donny Road and under the roof for the other half but can see why the club have introduced this. it won't stop me buying a season ticket and I'll just stay up the donny Road end. Hopefully in a couple of years we will all be getting settled in to our favourite spots at Newmarket. When you travel to the away games you don't see may home supportes in with the away so i suppose the ground is going the way of most other clubs . There is nowhere near as much banter between fans at games now which is a shame but times change, not always for the better, but sometimes things have to change or you face the danger of being left behind.

By the way when changing ends at the huddrsfield game I didn't notice an imtimidating atmosphere and the Huddersfield fans seemed happy enough, maybe its just that they aren't really used to any atmosphere at their games (joking!) Did they complain to the stewards or just to the RFL. Hope the club traced the so called fans using racist language etc. and banned them. No room for this at a family game. I haven't been to a ground yet where I haven't heard foul language and whilst I don't condone it I think every club is guilty of having fans who use it or maybe Hudds are posher than the rest.

Many fans feel that the west terrace offers the best view of the game. I'm sure there's plenty of people who bought season tickets based on this.

Together we are stronger



Disgusted.
