Quote: feline "loads of fans were complaining about this. Wakey fans were wanting to get from the North stand along the west terrace either to view the game from the bottom of West stand or to get to & from the bar under the hospitality. They were being stopped from doing so, and having to walk all the way round , I know at least 2 of these fans were player sponsors . Fans have been told we can go anywhere in the ground and many bought season tickets on the strength they could stand on the Western terrace and have never been told they cannot now stand there . Fans are now being treated like animals . Fans as the poster says were also prevented from going out of the side gate to get to their cars and had to go out behind the main stand whilst the Hull fans were going out the West exit. Joke is all the fans were then passing each other directly outside the ground. three hull fans stood for with their wakey friends in the North stand for 55 minutes only to be then told they should not be stood there and have to move . Its alll madness .'"
Exactly the same experience for us Feline.
Tried to enter the ground using the turnstiles on the Western Terrace and then go for a pint in the bar at the bottom of the flats, as we have done for years, including all of this season.
After being refused entry with a season ticket, walked round to the north stand and then walked down the western terrace and went to the bar as usual.
A couple of the lads weren't allowed to access the bar via the western terrace and had to walk all round the ground to get to the flats.
Although it may be easier for the stewards to police fans within the ground by using this form of segregation, there are certainly issues after the match when supporters try and return to their cars etc.
We are being herded like cattle and if you treat people like animals, they will start to behave like them.
Of course there were problems at the Cas game last season, brought about by trying to segregate the north stand and this game may need special treatment in future but, there has been no problem in the past with other visiting teams and a different solution needs to be found.
