| I have been watching Trinity for the last 60 years. Most of this time has been on the western terrace and in the old wooden stand. I accept the reasons for segregation but feel a compromise is needed. If we have to give away supporters the western terrace, could I suggest you open Catherine Street turnstiles for them and fence most of the terrace off up to the exit gate. It has become a long walk for me from Catherine Street to Doncaster Road turnstiles and with my dwindling eyesight I cannot see the other end of the pitch from the north stand. This would also give an overflow area if the north stand was overcrowded. If I am not allowed to stand anywhere on the western terrace then my Trinity days are over. I realise I may be in the minority with my eyesight problem but you will appreciate only being able to see half a pitch is not good.

This didn't work out as the takings were very low. I will certainly pass on this comment to Lindley's Group for their consideration

The turnstiles are not in operation due to a managerial problem. I will look into this and try to rectify the issue. You are permitted to watch the game on the Eastern Paddock or Seated East Stand

Exactly, 60m accross the entire north stand isn't really a 'convenience' is it. The ones on the western terrace have to be accessable to all or some other new portables installed up by the food stand, where they used to be.

Think they were probably low because the service was so slow that people walked away.

I've always stood on the North Terrace so am delighted to have had a roof put on, but I can see the guy's point of view (no pun intended) - People who have been going a long time will be used to seeing the game from a certain spot.
I for one don't like the views from the sides, so would have felt aggrieved if the club told me I had to stand down there due to a few idiots who can't handle their beer.
BUT
I do think it's the only sensible way to resolve the situations that were occurring under the roof, people will adjust and move on.

I have just said that the western terrace toilets will be used by both sets of fans. A 60m walk to the toilets isn't unreasonable but each to their own on this topic

Doesn't affect me Davide as I have always stood behind the posts in the North Stand and will continue to do so. If people are intent on causing aggro with opposition fans, they will do so outside the ground, so segregation will not stop that problem. The other issues could equally lead to complaints by Wakefield fans. Hence my comment about trying to deal with the offenders to eradicate the problems.
I am not being critical of the club here, I know this is not an easy issue to deal with and that various other parties have been consulted, just stating my opinion

I'm afraid to walk to those areas is even further from St catherine Street.
After all these years I feel i will have to accept that this will be my last year of support.

| If this policy had been announced at the start of the season I would not have bought a season ticket and will not be renewing. Match day experience totally ruined.
Thanks for reply.
Thought we were trying to get them in? Not force them out!
