I feel it has had exactly the opposite effect.

Potential troublemakers are now grouped together and potential flashpoints have been created along the dividing lines. Previously hotheads were spread around the crowd but without the critical mass and the spark to ignite the tinderbox. We have now created the perfect environment for thugs to reign supreme and Belle Vue is no longer the safe and friendly ground it was not so long ago.

Get rid of segregation and we can remove most of the stewards and you immediately decrease the potential causes of discontent and reduce the opportunities to cause trouble.

Have to admit i don't like the segregation one bit. Found it lessened my enjoyment of the game and is one more reason why i am rapidly falling out of love with the game.

If folk want to stand "anywhere", just arrive in civvies, and stand where you like.

I've yet to hear anyone come out and say that they favour segregation. However, as the club (and others) have pointed out, away fans usually have their own area at other grounds, with the exception of Warrington and KR, so why the tantrums ?

Also, for any wavering home fans who don't want to renew their S/T for one reason or another,
you need to think long and hard about whether you want to watch Wakefield at all.
It's imperative that we compete next season and the fewer people that renew their memberships, the leaner the squad we will have on the field.
If you want us to compete, buy your S/T NOW, please.

Ha ha. Good point.
I have stood and sat in pretty much every part of the ground at some stage.
The only bit I've never really taken to is the centre point on the Western Terrace. Probably just because in a crowd it's hard to ee the corners.

But there have been plenty of times when it gets a little tense with away supports.
I've had plenty of arguements but nothing physical, but that's partly because you can see that kind of crowd a mile away.
We have a bunch at the self proclaimed chavs corner, and now in the north stand. They are vocal and feisty sometimes but it's only an issue if you put them next to the opposition idiots too.
If it was my job to control that, I'd rather I knew where they were.

When the idiots ran down from the North Stand they should have been stopped on the way. There was no reason to do what they did unless they wanted trouble.

The problem with all that is that it costs us money.
Kepping them apart costs security money
Letting them do their own thing costs us fines with RFL

Can't win.

Not fussed either way about segrgation, being a football fan as well I am more than used to it so dont really see an issue with it my self but can see why some would be upset.

One thing it has done is improve the atmosphere at Belle Vue and that is deffo a positive.

when I have been to Warrington I go in the away end? Same at widnes, Wigan, Leeds, hull kr, Hull etc etc what's the difference?

Another 1 looking for excuses

Segregation doesn't bother me. In fact the atmosphere at BV has been better since it was introduced.

IMO.

Yeah but you stand with Steve and Gill, so you'll have "atmosphere" at every game

I also prefer the segregation and love the atmosphere in the North Stand.

Very true!

What you're really saying is "I want to stand in clowns' corner, where the rest of my mates stand". I'm right, aren't I? 'Cos otherwise, west or east, your view is across the ground, and makes little difference, unless you have some "left-right" thing going on as well.
