Maybe the club could make use of a few early pa announcements as the crowd starts to gather early on?

Some actions at the ground on the day will shepherd a fair few. I have stood there with my family for years and also pre promotion.

I will Mark my spot with a red x and reserve it

.

That's actually not a bad idea.. North Standers!

Just get in early and put beach towels on the steps to reserve your place, like the Germans do.

My bad, I can't help gravitating to a 3.30 KO if it's not a working day.

The Adam Watene North Stand has a good ring to it.

LETS GO NORTH GREAT IDEA !

Myself & a few others (Bren, DJCool) have mentioned this to AG on twitter & he seems well up for it!
After all the sooner he gets us in the ground the sooner his tills start to ring, which can only be a good thing for WTW's ever growing bank balance!

So if we we're to roll with a grand opening who would you like to see open the stand? Neil Fox? JD? A host of former players coming together to publicly back the upward trend that we're experiencing?

There's such a buzz about WTW at the moment, we need to capitalise on it & not let it slip by like previous decades have done.

In Glover we trust.

5 of us "emigrated" last week.
If we can fill the stand, especially now the roof is complete, it will be rocking.
There could be issues with visiting fans, especially Cas on Friday and the club may well need some additional stewarding, at least until the dust settles.

A public message before hand, on here, twitter, facebook, local presses ect accompanied by some gentle reminders over the PA should do it, especially if we get there early.

Although I can totally see your point, maybe a bit of all the approaches would be best- early advice, PA announcements & extra staff.

If we can get this right it could be a massive step forward for creating the "Kop" for NM & would add a lot more atmosphere to BV, which at times was stale last year- but that had as much to do with Kear as it did with a lack of roofing!

Great idea that and perhaps the only way to ensure it's ours for the Cas game! Open early for Wakey fans only!

We should do this. If its full of cas fans its going to give them the advantage. Claim it as ours.

Just posted a comment on FB regarding this.........

We are opening a new bar at the North Stand - so next Friday can we not say that only season ticket holders can get into the ground from 6.00 until 6.45. This way we will guarantee at least a fair few thousand to fill the North Stand before any away fans can even enter the ground.

It wont matter that we're going in too early as the bar will be open and no doubt we will have a good laugh amongst ourselves in the build up to the match.

Its absolutely criminal if after all this hard work and money we, as a club, allow away fans to come in and utilise the North Stand and the massive atmosphere it will create. With a few thousand vocal Wakefield fans under the roof the noise will be worth at least 1 extra man on the field ! WE CANT LET IT HAPPEN !!

THIS CITY IS OURS AND SO IS THE NORTH STAND !!

Maybe members only until an agreed time. And to help tempt people down make it happy hour on beer AND food from the outlets. Get people having their pre-match drinks and their tea there rather than prior to turning up before it gets filled up with away fans. Get them spending earlier and fill the new stand as well. Winner!

Yeah - totally agree.

Members only up until a certain time ( love the idea of happy hour ) - and the rest can roll in later when the North Stand is already packed with home support !

Don't take my spot, I have always gone in the north stand, and last week on the best day of the year I was under cover.

So have I. Always go on the North Stand and have done for 20 years !

Had the odd 'disagreement' with visting fans over the years mainly due to the fact the Wakefield fans are outnumbered on the North Stand but its by far the best place to watch the game ( in my opinion ).

Will love it if its shoulder to shoulder Wakefield fans from one side to the other, under the roof making the ground buzz !!

I'll bring the beach ball.

Really? Are you saying the atmosphere in the ground is Kear's fault? Get a grip!

I think going north is a great idea.............however....

Pushing fans together ..........on a hot day......getting them to drink early......more bars in the stadium.
If security isn't beefed up there will be a big problem.

Cant be with you all on friday, but i will be in spirit (more to the point all inclusive hotel spirits!!)
I will i imagine stick to my perch near the Sky Screen (i like the great outdoors) in future, but i hope we dominate the game, the scoreboard and the north stand, and ultimately OUR city!!!
Make some noise people!!!!

Excellent suggestion!

Get there early folks. I'm working until 7.00 so save me a spot! ...and not behind a post.

I can't help wondering if this has the potential to create trouble; as much as I like the #letsgonorth campaign, I wonder what will happen on Friday night when a load of Cas fans turn up expecting to take up their usual spots, only to find it rammed with Wakey fans? Add into the mix that both sets of fans will have had the opportunity to be on the sauce all day, and it doesn't bode well.
