Has anyone else noticed that at the end of the game our players no longer come as a group to the North stand to applaud, and be applauded by, us fans ??
Even last year, when we obviously lost most matches, this was still done religiously but now that we do actually have something to cheer them for they just fragment and disappear off to family members (presumably) in all parts of the ground, whilst us appreciative fans who have always hung back after the final whistle are left disappointed.




So come on guys bring it back and then go around the pitch as a team to show your appreciation of us long-suffering fans

Looks like they did... https://x.com/WTrinityRL/status/1825563382381940811

I was going to post the same.
Looks like they just avoided you Fil....

Hardly surprising tbh PT......

They did but quite a while after the hooter had sounded and the North stand was only about 20% full.
Only Harvey Smith went up while there were still a few left in the North Stand.
FIL is correct, it's been like that for the last few home games now.

Yeah, it seems that the North stand is the last place for the players to come after the game.
Whether this is so they can spend more time there, I dont know but, most fans have drifted away at that point.

For me, they should take the applause from the North Stand first, after all this is where most of the vocal support comes from and then make their way round the other fans.

I'm not on X (twitter), but if any of you are then could someone please post this on there ??

Shouldn't they go to the Neil Fox stand first? They've paid the most to watch the match

I’ve noticed this season with all the big wins, people are leaving very early to catch the bus, put the puddings in or whatever, sometimes six minutes before the end. This is east stand and also there are many filing out from the north stand. It’s very disappointing.

I have to say Belle Vue is a bit quiet these days, especially last Sunday. The East Stand all season has been like a library.

Probably best not to call it a Library, WMDC will try and close it down

I cannot hear the North Stand most of the time although on Sunday I could hear the foul language which over time becomes a bit tedious

Sitting in the East Stand as you say was quiet and subdued

It’s strange we are winning comfortably , scoring well with a fairly make shift side but it’s hard to get too excited, part of the issue is the lack of away support, but yes very muted it’s almost like we are waiting for super league to start! Roll on the play offs

Probably keeping quiet to try hear the band

I'm in the East Stand and I would ask you NOT to tell the bloke behind me to shout any louder! If there's the hint of a forward pass or offside I have to turn my hearing aids down
