| What I will say about the upper, really feels like a missed opportunity to go back further, I get the right side has a lower roof but the rest could easily go back a few more rows, the amount of space is huge.
Yes it has great viewing angles a lot better than before but it really feels crammed in up there, I gave the first game the benefit of the doubt but tonight again it was really packed in there, when we play cas/rhinos with a big crowd i feel it will be really unsafe

Shame we couldn't go further back with the terracing but we're so used to small crowds and copious amounts of room between us that we feel claustrophobic when in something that ought to be normal. There was plenty of room so wasn't even at full capacity and the numbers are limited. It wont be a problem

I’ve been in many crowds football/rugby/gigs so that doesn’t bother me, what I’m saying is usually there is at least a bit of room to squeeze past people in there you have no chance
On that note does anyone know what the attendance was?

| There was bags of room in the lower tier, so numbers must be very restricted if that was sold out.

4,157 I think was the announcement as I left the stadium. Disappointed really, considering the Catalans game was just over 4,000. That indicates fewer trinity fan last night than for Catalans game. Friday night’s, cold dark often wet, don’t appeal to many people in Wakefield. It doesn’t appeal to me, but I can’t change the habit of a lifetime supporting Trinity, but it’s certainly getting harder.

It's almost as if a bit of pre game marketing/promotion encourages people to attend games. Who would've thought?! Conversely a 60-0 drubbing will have been a real put off for most already paid up.

| I thought the new North stand terracing was great but I go along with the consensus of most people around me that it doesn't go far enough back and is too packed making it difficult for a lot of people to see. I know that it's all down to money but even another two rows would have made it better. Not sure I want to be in there when we play Leeds or Cas.

The nature of the construction means it could go further back retrospectively, but it would be very difficult now as the building room has practically gone. The roof would likley have to be lifted too which it then begins to get very expensive, the money for this would be better spent on the North Stand lower or the Western Terrace.
As I said before, there is a limit to the numbers that can be in there, once full the over spill will go on the lower terrace. I genuinely don't see the issue.
