| The health and safety of spectators was seriously put at risk on the Southstand terrace at last night’s game against Huddersfield Giants. The capacity of 3000 was dangerously exceeded and we all know how. Fans are using their 2017 Southstand passes to access the limited capacity new area. Yes they have a valid ticket for the game but then they simply flash their out of date Southstand pass to gain access to the overcrowded area.The dangerous conditions last night made the enjoyment of a woeful game impossible, thank god I couldn't see most of it. Home fans arguing with each other, threatening each other owing to the over congestion, hindered visibility to the playing field due to fans being allowed to congregate in the yellow access. If anyone had required emergency aid last night the first aiders would not have been able to get through. What did the stewards do? Simply nothing! Pay peanuts, get monkeys!

| We had plenty of space around us where we were stood so not sure where abouts you were.

| From my seat in the north stand some parts of the southstand looked full but many looked ok,when i used to be in the southstand before age took its toll the stewarding was always a joke young G4 /students(cheap labour)being ignored.it will never change.Remember back in the day we had concert type security they didn't mess about but cost too much.

| I thought it was more to do with it operating at its max capacity (the bit that's open obviously), something the SS hasn't done for years. Obvs felt a lot "fuller" than it would have done for ages. That said, it is pretty poxy and League Two, and there's nowhere to escape anymore if it kicks off after kick off because it's only a few rows deep. It will only get worse if they insist on making the eastern side a family terrace. On the plus side it's easier for bigger lads to get to the halfway just before kick off. After years of getting in early I can now stay in the pub until gone half 7 and just stand in front of someone short

| Rather than post in here, have you done something a bit more proactive like raise your concerns to the club? Plenty of contact details on the website.

Get the club emailed. I have emailed them before about some concerns and you do generally get an answer.

Already contacted the club. Hopefully will receive some reassurances that the situation will not be repeated this Friday. If there were pockets of space why didn't the stewards redirect the late fans into the less populated areas of the stand. Allowing them to just stand in the yellow access areas is dangerous. We have procedures for Health and Safety surely the stewards MUST make fans adhere to these procedures. Those on duty last Friday couldn't be d!!

| Additional capacity was only granted late on Friday so there would have been little chance to train the minimum wage stewards.

| I was stood in the SS and its been a lot worse. Not once did it feel overcrowded, in fact it was worse in the Carnegie this season.

| The Carnegie has been a joke at points this season.
Over filled, same large groups turning up 10-15 mins into a game wandering around and blocking the disabled pens and yellow areas.
I did notice at the Hudds game they had x3 stewards per yellow area to cut down on this, however it was a very quiet game, be interesting to see if they do this at a larger capacity one where the beered up latecomers aren’t so easily placated.
