That worked well today didn't it?

Did it remain trouble free? I went to the East stand for the second half.

Time to stop pussyfooting around with it. Enforce it.

Stick the hull fans on the roof they like it up there

Totally agree. What is the point of segregation and then not enforcing it.

Thought the Hull fans were impeccably well behaved today with the exception of that plonker on the roof. May be a different story when Cas, Widnes & KR come to BV if this is not enforced though.

Widnes have been

Ahh yes the one that got away. Still cursing that we should have won that one

Shouldn't need segregation at rugby, I sat in the stand with loads of (biased) Wakey fans, but there were great with me and had some good conversations with them about the game, that's what rugby should be about.

Agree with this, however with both sets of fans in close proximity and plenty of ale about then there is always the niggle that something may 'kick off'.
At the Wigan game, I pointed out to one of the stewards the Wigan fans in the North stand and indicated the message that is put on the website prior to every home game. He was very pleasant and we had a long chat and he basically said that if 'away' fans were in the North stand then they could ask them to leave and relocate down the West terrace, but if they did not want to move then there was nothing they could do and they had be instructed not to push the issue any further. My retort was asking him why they allowed them onto the North terrace in the first place ie intercept them on entering via the turnstile and 'move them' on to the west side. He just shrugged his shoulders. I suppose the stewards could be located outside the ground and direct away fans to the turnstile entrances on the West side.

Didn't see/ hear any trouble whatsoever (apart from the idiot on the roof) but, either have segregation or don't, we shouldn't be blowing with he wind.
Having said that, there is still a shortage of Wakey fans and due to the number of FC fans at BV today, they may not all have managed to fit down the western terrace.
I asked one of the stewards why there were Hull fans in the North stand and he said it was ok and that it ws in line with the instructions that they had taken from the club.

Which is fine until there is one incident and it's us who get the fine and the tarnished reputation.

Match day arrangements state unequivocally, north stand is strictly home fans only.

Thought the Hull fans were good today and a credit to their club.

I agree that the game should not go the way of football with segregation but for me there has to be a balance. It's great that we share a pint in the bar pre match and can walk around the ground at half time but during the match it creates a much better atmosphere when each clubs fans stand as separate groups. It makes for a much more vocal game and at Belle Vue the Northstand is our home stand and should be respected as that by away fans.
Unfortunately every club also has the odd muppet or two and by having separate areas their own fellow fans can shut them up if they attempt to misbehave.

We were in the north stand, no hint of bother. A couple of wakey fans getting irate with stewards about Hull fans in there, but nothing to write home about. I didn't know it was supposed to be segregated? I think the Hull fans in there enhanced the atmosphere as every time they started to sing, so did you. Bit of banter never hurt anyone. If the club don't want away fans in the north stand then make them use west stand turnstiles and put it on the ticket. Mine said standing and didn't specify a stand.
