| Exactly!!!
Too much emphasis placed on the negative side of segregation.

| Quote: TrinitarianWF2 "Ask the club, it was stated yesterday in the press statement.
It's not crazy at all, why build a new covered area to create more noise & then open it up the general population. You want your home fans in there to create a hostile atmosphere for visiting PLAYERS.
Segregation has a positive side, one I think some are ignoring. This is the norm!'"
tbf your bit in blue is a fairly extreme interpretation of the club quoteCastleford Tigers fans will only be able to enter the Rapid Solicitors Stadium through the turnstiles on Doncaster Road (see map below) and will be directed to either the Eastern terrace along the side of the pitch or the North East corner of the stadium as per their choosing.
The remainder of the North Stand will occupied by home supporters and stewards will be on hand to monitor this.'"
It has also been stated that the western terrace is mixed. I can understand the club doing what theyt can to ensure home fans get first dibs on the new roof , but segregation at BV? I'll believe it when it happens. How many stewards will be needed?
If most Cas fans come in through Doncaster Road, the rest will take care of itself.

| Quote: TrinitarianWF2 "There is terracing infront, the roof provides cover/shade in most weathers, if you have a westerly wind & rain it's rough though, but not much worse than princess street- I've seen CT fans pressed up against the back to escape the rain whilst we are drenched in the open! Swings & roundabouts!
Surely Dicky Wright knew he wouldn't be on Elstons Xmas card list after December & Dickies letter writing. Why would he think he'd be consulted before receiving the final decision & plans from WTW.'"
Yes it is. The PS offers a good vantage point to all fans in all weathers and wind blowing in rain from one precise direction will occasionally discourage people from standing at the railings or in extreme cases the first couple of rows of terracing. Your East stand offers a worms eye view to most and cover to few.
If you could be bothered you would find that I was critical of RWs interference in the NM planning proceedings and I don't understand how any Wakey fan would not see fault in their officials for:-
(a) leaving this announcement so late especially when fans will have bought tickets with no prescribed access limits
(b) leaving the Cas BOD out of the loop instead of seeking their co-operation as the news would no doubt have been greeted differently by Cas fans if delivered by their own club.
I wonder if AG/JE, aware of people on the Wildcats forum clamouring this week for exclusive use of the North Stand, are overly concerned with earning brownie points from Wakey fans at the expense of presenting a professional image to the wider RL community.

This should clarify it. God what an over reaction from Dickie Wright and a badly thought idea from my club.
www.wakefieldwildcats.co.uk/news ... s/2012/04/
Cas fans can stand undercover in the North stand were just trying to divert you to the east side and us to the west, we'll still have both fans in the North but not mixed all over the place.

| I've just trawled through 8 pages on this forum and a dozen pages on the Wakey site - and one question remains unanswered - where do fans go (of both Wakey and Tigers)who like to watch the game together ? Families, friends, work colleagues and so on.

No one is going to stop family and friends standing together, it's just a general guide to keep the bulk of fans seperate.

| To be fair, the picture they have put on gives a better idea of the allocation than the first one - mainly because the first one looked like they were giving us a very small portion of the stadium to stand in.
FWIW I will be there early to try and get in the North Stand with a good view

That's fair enough for me, now looking forward to a cracking atmosphere.

I don't think it was necessarily a badly thought idea, but the delivery could have been done a lot better. The first statement seemed to be a case of "you will stand here, you will not stand there and if you choose to stand in the wrong place you will be moved" which of course got people's backs up.
If they had put this statement out in the first place then people wouldn't have had any issues and would know that they can infact stand anywhere they wish but are advised that majority of the Wakefield fans will be in the western half of the North Stand and the majority of Cas fans in the East half.
All a big misunderstanding now sorted out
