It's sad that the day has come when RL fans are to be forcefully segregated.
I have been to practically all the Cas v Wakefield games, at both grounds, and seen little to suggest that this is necessary.
It will also be interesting to see what now happens when the fixture is played at WR, Cas could be really awkward and only allow Wakefield supporters to stand in the open Railway End - not good if it's raining!

We need to see segregation from the positive perspective that it creates a great atmosphere. something we have sought at BV for a number of decades. The one things we create away we can now do at home.

It's the way the games going anyway & this open plan will be a thing of the past at NM.

That's where we always stand, so how many have you actually been to?
You will have cover from the eastern stand.

Grow up, you don't get this issue anywhere else & Fev have told you the same thing.

Finally, has it occurred to you that your "patchy" history could be partially responsible?

As i said on the Cas forum, whilst appreciative the club have been forward thinking in trying to avert the potential for trouble i kind of think this adds problems rather than solves them. Hopefully though sense will prevail and all can behave themselves. Whilst a derby, i still see it as a chance to converse with fellow rugby fans over a beer in good natured banter

Well get a temp stand up AG will give some advice...

Excellent But I can see Wildcats fans being on all sides of the ground as it is nearing sell out...

I don't think it's segregation to minimise trouble myself,I think it's simply a way to get the majority of Wakey fans in there to create an atmosphere,nothing more sinister.

I must confess I would be pretty annoyed if I was a cas fan and I don't see the reasoning for it,sometimes I go with my uncle and he's a cas fan.

It's where some of your fans stand when the weather is nice (from the WRE it looks like more stand in the Princess Street Stand, though that could just be my perception). However, I'd like to see how many of you would stand there when it's raining!
I really don't mind standing in a specific stand, but I just think it's sad that this has happened. I will be attending the game with a Wakefield-supporting friend and we intended to stand together behind the sticks are per normal. I will be interested to see how this is managed, and have the feeling it could cause more problems than it is intended to prevent.

Looks to me like it's a combination of the atmosphere thing and "look we have a roof now! Homes fans only though".

What's wrong in us trying to re-create our own "kop" like the old south stand was?
Lots of grounds are intimidating to away teams, what is wrong with us doing it to other teams?

THIS!
Leeds have their south stand and Hull Kr have their own stand, which are fantastic for the game!
I really don't see the problem that Castleford have in Wakefield trying to get all the supporters together to create an atmosphere?

Yeah that's how I see it,not a big deal really though!

I think some are overeacting (particularly on Casforum!) but it does just seem a bit like the club are saying "we have got a new roof now so you can't stand here".
And obviously it's the first time it has been done, so looks like it is deliberately directed at Cas fans. However, I think most will be more understanding when supporters from other teams are banned from standing there too???

The facist wakey fans!

It seems its turning fan on fan, how it pans out over the rest of the season is a different matter.

I'm not sure the club have got this right but with respect they've done a good job all round so far so it seems fair to back them on it.

I hope it's not just Cas fans , we want to make BV a fortress, it's just Cas bring the most away support

WDL say's Wakey fans are all PC!

They should make Noth stand home end only, then the rest can stand where they like two sides to choose from...

A few Cas fans are kicking up a massive storm on casforum about the 'segregation', saying they are issuing formal complaints, wishing they didn't buy a ticket... We need to get there early and fill the north stand! It's our stadium and our club built the stands so we should have the right to stand there and not get pushed out by our six toed neighbours

I've heard Glover has employed extra staff to rubber stamp WTID on everyones forehead that enters through turnstiles other than Donny road, to ensure rogue scum fans can easily be spotted mingled in with us. The stewards have been equipped with a cattle prod and tazer to make sure they don't stray from the designated areas. You have been warned !!!!!

wow your quick how did you work that one out





could it be that cas visit us this friday

I can see where this will lead with the cas fans

FWIW think this end up in tears

All the fuss could have been avoided had this been made clear before tickets went on sale,I can see this causing all kinds of problems for stewards has some cas fans will try to get into the north stand.

The east stand terrace will be the away friendly area from now on

It would cause alot more problems if we hadn't had done this. Lads out all day, the more vocal Trin fans moving from Chav corner to the new north stand it has all the ingredients to kick off this Move by the club take the heat out the situation. It WTRLFC who are responsible for crowd controll and if they hadn't have done this and there was trouble people would say the club hadn't done anything to prevent it happening and we'd get a RFL fine. I think it's a case of nipping it in the bud before it happens
