Again the club act without thinking things through Mr Elston stick to what your good at selling the club to people with Money you have no idea about running things on match day and this is becoming more and more evident I think your out of your depth and dont know how to treat the people who pay your wages.

For what its worth i have no issue with what the club are trying to achieve and support them BUT thinking things through and then not communcating smacks of not thinking it through very well. don't you agree.

You can't have it both ways.

Well, I have stood below the tea bar for the best part of forty years, however, with the new arrangements I just don’t enjoy it as much any more. I love to be so close to the play, screaming for a forward pass etc.

As a season ticket holder I will probably come & watch the London & Catalan games, but I refuse to have a three/four hour round trip to be told to stand in an alien position.

I will not re-new my season ticket next season, which is quite sad, but you can’t teach an old dog…

It wouldn’t be a problem in a new facility and I may have a change of heart if it ever materialises, but right now I’m not prepared to play ball.

I usually stand in the Western Terrace but had to stand in the North Stand and to be fair we got a decent spot and didnt mind it. Though i did walk towards the Western Terrace to see a couple of mates who stand on the corner between the West and North stands and found it bemusing the security wouldnt let a lady use the toilets cos she was a wakey fan and she had to go right round to the other end. It was common sense that she wasnt going to cause any trouble and i couldnt see the problem as the supporters were mixing at the burger place anyway. I can see this causing more conflict than doing good

Personally I couldn't care less where I stand as long I can see. I am more cheesed off at the players at the moment
out of 17 players yesterday you could count on one hand who were performing and who couldn't be bothered.
Get that sorted Wakey

Mail the club! I mailed them at 11.45am, got a phone call from Davide Longo, very shortly after, we'll done the club, after speaking to Davide, whilst I don't appreciate having to move, now I've heard the reasoning I'm happy to follow suit.

What was the reasoning?

I'll pm you later

Well, I prefer having the North Stand for home fans only.

The only time we have had such an atmosphere in recent years is at away games, and that's not right!!

It may well need managing better though...

You make a good point. If they didn't communicate the change, they are killing their plan whether they thought it through or not.

This suggests that it is something that's now being strictly enforced rather than a situation where "home fans who have traditionally stood in the Western Terrace will not be prevented from doing so".

I've stood on the West Terrace for all but a handful of the matches I've watched over the 25 years I've been supporting Wakefield. The East Terrace is a far worse view and I hate watching rugby from behind the sticks at just about any ground (IMO the only semi-reasonable view from behind the sticks is the upper part of the away stand at Wigan).

Aside from the drunken "antics" in the north-east corner that have blighted a few of the more recent matches against Cas, the only time I've seen anything approaching "serious" trouble was (ironically) a match against Hull in the mid-nineties. Even then it was something that finished as quickly as it had started.

If this "polite request" has become a (ridiculous) rule in the space of a few matches, I may well have watched my last match at BV. Clearly the move to Newmarket can't come soon enough.

Thanks.

This was the first real test of the new semi-segregation and it seems somewhere along the lines communication was severely lacking. A simply press release stating 'due to a high away following the West Terrace will be for Away fans only. To access the Cats bar home fans should use the East stand.'

Is that really too much to ask?

Perhaps Davide or someone else from the club that reads these forums would be kind enough to enlighten everyone. I'm sure if there's a good reason for it then most fans would accept it, but to go from "home fans can stand wherever they want" to this with no communication is very annoying for lots of people.
