Quote: Davide Longo "7 stewards operate the East Stand, all briefed to allow supporters to exit the stand whenever necessary. I have passed on your comments to the Managing Director of Key Security, so we can eliminate this issue with immediate effect'"


Hi Davide, can I also add to the comments above about the stewards? I was stood in the East Stand paddock. In the second half we swapped ends and stood at the north end of the paddock. Throughout the second half there were a fair few adults standing on the wall next to the pitch and lots of kids standing at the other side of the wall, on the grass behind the advertisement hoardings.

This meant that anyone stood in the paddock behind the adults had their view obscurred. I also wondered if folk being on the other side of the wall was against safety regulations. If not it doesn't strike me as safe anyway considering how often I've seen players land in the hoardings.

Throughout the second half as well there were stewards that were wandering up and down the paddock and stopped to look at the folk either on or at the other side of the wall, but didn't say anything. In previous years the stewards have made sure that no one does this sort of thing, even going as far as making sure kids don't sit on the wall in prematch or half time, which worked fine.

It was a little disappointing as two Huddersfield fans were stood next to us at the beginning of the half, but got a bit frustrated and had to move elsewhere because of the obscured view. It was also disappointing because I'd brought my girlfriend down to Belle Vue for the first time and her experience in the second half was marred slightly because she couldn't see what was going on a lot of the time.

Cheers!

As I've said before, it happened at BV when we beat you last year; two old geezers who should've known better were stood in the middle of Wakey fans, gobbing off about how Wakey were going down, the stadium was a slum, we were bankrupt etc etc - they were clearly trying to get a rise and probably escaped any retaliation purely because they were too old to slap.

Every club has idiots - it's about time people starting dobbing them in.

A lad I work with is a Trin fan & he told me that there's been instances of bother at a few games this season already. A Bulls fan apparrently got slotted for daring to celebrate his side scoring a try & last week someone was trying their best to start a scrap with a lad who had his children with him! Add to this what I've been told about yesterday & an unfavourable picture is beginning to build up.

I was at the match yesterday & mingled with the genuine Trin fans, no problem, good rugby league people. But the club itself has got to root out the minority of yobs & get shut quick smart so they don't spoil it for the rest of the true Trin fans.

And yes, all clubs have idiots who need slinging out, not just Trin.

http://flightsandfrustration.com/ It is "Fifita" not "Fafita" If you don't know the difference between "there", "their" and "they're" I might get annoyed.

Meast and fartownfan you are correct. We need to show zero tolerance to this bad element (whether it be Wakefield or elsewhere). RL is prided on being a family game and all people should feel welcome.

If the situation is not dealt with quickly and with a firm hand then things can spiral. Glover has invested so much in turning the club around, if a holigan element develops then it will knock back all the hard work so far. I love my club and have for decades, however I will not put myself in a situation where I feel unsafe.

Lots of clubs have bad elements, I agree, Wakefield is just one of them. My pride and respect for fellow fans means that I despise the thought of trouble with my club. If David Longo, Martin Hopkins et al are not reading this and there are more instances then I will voice my concerns directly to Elston and Glover. Maybe the fans groups should raise this as a matter of priority.

It's a little ironic that there was an announcement on Sunday that people were found bringing their own drink into the ground then it would be confiscated and people could be ejected. Shame there was no mention of abusive or threatening behaviour not being tolerated.

Stewards are there to look after the safety of the fans at the match. If they stand idly by whilst people feel threatened then they are not doing their job.

Sort it out please.

I agree, this was threatening behaviour and we all need to come out full square in our condemnation of it.

Getting out is not a problem for me. Getting to my seats that I have on my season tickets and them not been occupied is my issue. I have been to three games this season and have not had my own seats at any of the games. Poor organisation as usual. I was issued a different set of seats after the first mix up but the very next match the ones I had been re issued were already taken. Stewards are not any help and I cant keep making multiple trips to the ground to sort it out.

All in all the play is not bad. Nobody has hammered us this season and thats progress in my book.
