"Could the Leeds fans in the Western terrace please move down to the end of the stand so your fellow supporters can get in?"

Perhaps the most hilarious stadium announcement I've heard this year...

We'll all be fine when (if) they build their new super duper stadium. By the way thanks for beating them, it keeps us in the top eight (for now).

given the stewards were allowing people to go where they wanted it seemed rather daft. I stood with a load of wakie fans without any issue & there seemed to be groups of leeds fans in most of the ground.

We arrived at the NE corner and saw Leeds fans going in the north and east stands. Tried to get in the North and were told we needed to go to the NW or West. Got to the North west and saw Leeds fans going in, but then when we tried we were told to go to the West. Got to the West and joined a queue with more than a few Wakey fans. The whole thing was a farce. It was segregation in name only. Over 10k though, so a good effort by all!

We ended up standing about 3 yards from the 'segregated' Wakefield fans on the North Terrace with some red tape to form a barrier, which, by the end of the game, had been torn down. It was a farce. They were completely unprepared for the amount of away support there last night and hadn't a clue what they were doing.

I don't care what anyone says but segregating the supports only breeds hostility.

Way to go Wakefield! The sooner the league gets reduced to 12 clubs the better.

I think that's a bit unfair, first game of "proper" segregation attempt just happens to be our second highest SL attendance. Not really an ideal game to learn, especially in a ground as difficult to segregate as BV.

As I've said on other threads, it's sad it's come to it but with Newmarket looming ever larger on the horizon, i'm prepared to put up with it.

Don't see why you're so bitter about it all though, did you have any bother with the Wakey fans?

Newmarket looming on the horizon.

I've bought my earmuffs, just waiting for that bubble to go pop if the economy continues to tank.

Thankfully for Wakefield, your empty promises have saved you long enough to get P&R back. You can go back to letting the ground fall over and focus on finishing third from bottom now.

I deliberately haven't been to BV since Wakefield scraped into a franchise last time but I'm led to believe that, as it is now a veritable Xanadu, it takes the pressure off Newmarket.
Compare and contrast Belle Vue with, for example, The Shay and Halifax's "no overdraft" constitution.
I know which I prefer to pay to enter.

We've been in the North Terrace for as long as I can remember, and, for as long as I can remember, so have many Wakefield fans and I have never encountered any trouble - until last night! Some p*ssed up Wakefield tos[size=100s[/sizeer in a green T-shirt was being all Charlie Big Potatoes and was trying to kick-off with some Leeds fans.

Admittedly the stewards did their job well and ejected him but my point is - no segregation, no trouble - segregation, trouble.

Coincidence? I think not.

I'm of the opinion that patronising rhinos fans ought to be focusing on the empty promises of their own club with regard to the not-so-new north and south stands instead.

On the subject of segregation, it's been creeping in gradually for a while and not just at Wakefield. It's one of the reasons I hardly attend these days.

Eh? Why because you don't like your own fellow supporters?

Sounds likes an excuse for being an armchair fan
