Wasn't the last catering firm one of the recent CCJ's.....

It's simply economics.

Do you go for guaranteed income with no peaks or troughs or do you take all costs and try for the big win.
Having the guaranteed income and no cost is a well used model and for a business where other income streams are quite volotile as well, I'd say it is a sound plan.

When sponsor and gate receipts are keeping the cash flow looking good, they can reconsider.
No difference to a fixed rate mortgage.

Clearly the club aren't getting it quite right at the moment, but I disagree.

The North Stand being home fans only, has transformed the atmosphere at BV.

It was like having 26 away games in previous seasons!

I agree that the N Stand is a good place to be and has changed the feel at BV but it should be the "home stand" because we make it such. As far as I'm aware you could, as an away fan, go into the South Stand at Leeds or the stand down the side at Warrington or the Shed end at Cas - but would you want to? If Wakey fans fill the NS brilliant but BV is just not designed for segregation, it's not working and it's causing more problems than it solving

The problem is that the N stand has always been the traditional away end. By the time we move to NM then it will be a moot point, but if not then that end will be established as our "kop" if you like.

I don't see why segregation is causing a problem.

I've stood on the WT for a while in the past but at the end of the day (I think Vastman said this before) it's a piece of concrete you stand on for 2 hours or so 13 times a year. If the club decide to change it you have no "right of way" to argue imho.

The only thing the club has done is asked everyone to make the North Stand theirs to improve atmosphere. Something that has been talked about for a long time when we obviously make more noise away when we are pushed together.

They then tried to make it safer by asking away fans to stick together too.

The idiots from Cas and Wakefield took that as an invitation to stand on the line and bait each other. when pushed even further apart the Wakefild idiots followed the line so they could be near to any away fans to either bait or be baited.

Segregation isn't the issue. It's an effect of some low lives that spoil the whole event for other people.
