This is true, however the fans are the clubs biggest customers, and are entitled to opinion.

The club do waste money sometimes though, which could be spent better elsewhere, such as when we have had entertainers from programmes such as Britains Got talent playing well before kick off to empty stadiums.

I heard somewhere that these people charge 2-3k just for a short slot like that

Even warm weather camps cost a lot, and some of the more successful clubs of late have knocked this on the head and done survival camps in the hills

I agree with the sentiment of the OP but issues do need raising.

There is a difference between raising issues and rank doom-mongery however and I think a greater balance towards the former is required at times on here.

I think the biggest threat to the club comes from a section of the Northstand, at least 3 yobs left the group at the Widnes game to get involved and then returned to the fold.

Not one of these has been identified or banned yet several "so called fans" know them, add to that the abusive/foul chanting and we looked just dandy on Sky.

Now i know a few young lads who sing and chant and they are great fans and most who use the Northstand are decent supporters, they all add to game day.

Sadly it'll not count for much and we'll cop fines if it contiues.

A reminder that we have a phone number for Tackle It down at BV:
07747 554470 if it still is in operation.
Add it to your mobiles, hopefully you won't need it but you never know!!
I also hope the incompetent stewards have been given a "ticking off!!!"

IMO the stewards are where the fault lies, take the Widnes game for example, there is not proper segregation there and there actions are too weak, even after the fighting starts they don't do enough IMO.

I also think that crowd segregation is the answer, what happens is you get the extremists/most passionate fans on the edges of the segregate area, thus make conflict more likely as opposing extremist/passionate fans are in close proximity to each other concentrated to a small area, anyone who goes to football games (I don't anymore these days) will testify this is where all trouble kicks off at games. The best thing the club could do is to remove the segregation instruction and allow fans to stand where they want, this will then dilute the extremists and also disperse them around the ground rather than stood next to each other. BV is a 100 year old ground and in it's current form cannot consistently and effectively accommodate segregated crowds, yeah sure when we play Catalan/London/Salford it can but not when we play Cas/Leeds/Hull/Wigan who all tend to bring more than the 1800 capacity of the western terrace.
