For those entering/standing in the Northstand from this week onwards there are new arrangements in place effective IMMEDIATELY. The Northstand turnstiles won't be open so you will have to enter via the Doncaster Rd turnstiles and Northstand capacity is being set at 1500 on a first-come, first-served basis with wrist bands being issued, which must be worn apparently !!! Other turnstiles are affected also.... https://wakefieldtrinity.com/blog/2022/ ... of-sunday/

Might have to make an effort to get in more than 10 mins before kick off

Good to see an indicator of some progress around the ground development as well

Is this part of a new policy to make you stay in the ground for the full 80

Might be a silly question, but why the need for wrist bands, for Northstanders?

I thought the north stand had a capacity of more than 1500. Wonder if the dreaded ground safety officers have paid us a recent visit.

The reason given was to prepare for the demolition of the East Stand which is strange because it will be that gate that will not be needed so why not wait until after the Wigan game. When the work starts it must impact the proposed North Stand entrance when the gates that are no longer in operation would be a better option. I think this smacks of instructions from the authorities and more safety related. I may be wrong but I didn’t see which gate will be used to access the new temporary stand.

It looks like a test run of the arrangements that need to be in place for when the East stand disappears.

The release says effective from June to September.

Exactly.

There are 2 games to get procedures right before restrictions as are mandated as part of the construction works.

I agree.

The club would have been criticised by some if they hadn't done a 'dry run'.
Mind you some on here would criticise whatever they did - damned if they do, damned if they don't

If that's what they are doing then they should say that

Why?

I would expect each area to be blocked off stopping any movement between stands. The club will have been told not to exceed 1500 supporters in the North Stand. To do this the dedicated gates will have 1500 identification tags and once used up entry will be stopped.
I think this is more being told to do it rather than a dry run of anything.

Well it’s looking like that’s put pay to all the doom n gloom merchants that said the building work was all pie in the sky and would never get started . It truly makes me wonder why people bother to support the club at all with the constant berating of everything at the club . Yes there is Room for improvement in most aspects of the club especially on the playing front , but the constant negative and at times hate filled comments aimed at everything and everyone associated with the club must be withering to say the least ,and probably the main reason Carter stays well clear of social media . We’ve been in far worse holes than this, and come through the other side ,let’s hope for positive signs on the field against Hull and hopefully more positivity from all the supporters.

You think quite a lot you and then make a narrative to your thoughts and then think it's facts.
