As an away supporter who was, for the first time I can remember at Wakey, segregated and treated like some sort of leper, I shall not be visiting your ground again until they stop this stupidity. I've always stood happily mingled with the home fans, and until this year, never seen any trouble. This year, fans were segregated, and some idiots kicked off.
Treat people like animals and you'll find they react like animals .......
Footnote: Cas did something similar (apparently because of trouble they'd had with Trinity/KR fans the 2 games previous), but it was not as rigidly applied. The stewards 'advised' Wire fans to not stand in the 'home end' .... but didn't actually stop anyone ..... and there was no trouble either in the ground or in the local pubs afterwards.
Something tells me you lot need the money that 1500-2000 Wire/Saints/Leeds/Wigan fans bring in .... so it's a bit stupid to treat us like we're not welcome?

As I said previously, plenty of away fans have stood in the 'home' end. In particular two Leeds fans entered the Northern Terrace Turnstiles right in front of me without a whimper form the gate operator (who are generally just young kids so I don’t blame them for not saying anything). |

define " the system that has worked for the first hundred or so years - just stand where you like." We were fined because of trouble that happened at the cas game - that suggests it wasnt working that well.
Like i said i'm not a fan of segregation and you could easily argue the policy we have had since wasnt working very well for the trouble at the home game against Widness to manifest, but we have what we have and the facilities at the ground have to be able to support it.
You only have to watch tv and look around at society to see that to a large degree, the rl fan of 100 years ago is a dim and sadly distant version of the one that is in attendance thgese days and strategy for managing such events as RL matches has to match the social changes.
Like KK suggested there are ways around the system should you wish to exploit them - although we would not recomend that of course.

Approximately 95% of people are naturally immune to lepresy and sufferers are no longer infectious after as little as two weeks of treatment.
Now weve got the overkill dealt with, do you think it would have been wise to have ignored the RFLs warning and done nothing?
Nobody really suggests that segregation is a good idea, just sometimes a practical one.
Don't come if you feel so bad, just send us a cheque or postal order for £22.00 and all will be fine  |

Easy one is this! Buy your season ticket, your club needs you to more than ever, that shouldnt even be in doubt if you ask me. Then comes the really tough decision....if the club chooses to segregate then just get on with it, still a lot more choices and better viewing points than at most away games....

Stewards stopped me as I approached the turnstiles and basically escorted me 'round to the side street ... and my son, and the elderly bloke with his wife behind us. We must've looked like trouble makers. 
As for the £22 ....... I'm keeping it for when Bradford come 'round with the collection buckets AGAIN ! |

Segregation doesn't cause trouble. Trouble causes trouble
It is a shame we are where we are but it's hard to undo it now it has been done

Correct, on both counts. |

It might be hard but now is the right time to review the outcomes of segregation and create a "thought through" policy that works.
The problems at the Cas match which initiated this particular round of strife were caused by ill conceived attempts at segregation and farcical rabblerousing by the club, not by civilised spectators who are now having to pay the price for badly constructed overreaction.
