| The problem in the main is Belle Vue. It's a 19th century ground that cannot cope with 21st century social (anti) behaviour and the need for some kind of segregation because of this type of behaviour This should hopefully improve when we get to Newmarket.
What I don't understand is why we are quite happy to be told where to sit/stand at away games ( and sometimes in no uncertain terms by the home stewards) but not at Belle Vue.
I don't stand on the western terrace or in the north stand so have no vested interest in the arguments and my only comment would be that the issue seems to have been poorly communicated. Is it really worth a 30 page thread? Things/times change. but to state that you won't darken the doors again just because you can't stand on the same bit of concrete (albeit crumbling) that you have stood on for the last xx years, smacks of throwing the baby out with the bathwater. I go to Belle Vue to watch the Trinity not because I want to stand on a specific bit of concrete. My attachment is to the team not the concrete.
As for Davide, I don't know the guy and have no idea if he is good or bad at his job, but he took the time to come on here and apologise for the poor communication and give the rationale behind the decision yet is cast as the spawn of satan by some on here. There does come a time in life or business when you have to say " that's the decision, that's how it is" . This is one of them, so why not just get on with it.

I once suggested to the club knocking the dugouts down and also installing a concrete step for kids to stand on the length of the east terrace.

That's an excellent idea.

| This thread just proves how passionate and vocal the west terrace can be.

| I think it's time to move on folks.
Davide deserves some credit for coming onto an open forum and answering supporters questions, even if some fans didn't agree with his responses.
The reasons for segregation are now clear and although some may wish to pursue the club over the detail, on the whole, we need to carry on supporting the club and the team and hopefully we will all be getting a new match day experience at Newmarket.
Together we are stronger !

| Segregation seems excessive!
I'm a rugby league supporter not a football hooligan.
And don't expect to be treated like one in my home ground.

think that probably sums up how most feel that its a shame a minority have spoilt it for the majority ![]()

| The management at BV need to get it in their heads that they have made a mistake by introducing segrigation. We are Rugby Legue fans not football fans. The segrigation makes it worse, it divides the supporters leading to an us and them situation and that is not good. They blame health & safety, as usual, but we are playing the same teams as we allways have and there has never been any major incidents. The crowd down in chavs corner were great fun but now we have lost that and I think that if WTW don't make a u-turn they will loose supporters. We are not cattle to be kept in pens.
