Send them there seperate way to cross paths outside the ground yeh makes loads of sense

Horbury Cat - if you some experience in this field have you considered offering your services to the club?

Yeah fair point, I know lets get a police cordon set up so they can Kettle all the away supporters together and walk them all the way back to Hull.

I really dont know what your issue is with all this, did it mean you had a slightly longer walk? Did you get a cramp? Stand in a Puddle?

Walking down that path (if you can call it a path) behind Northstand, I got more mud on my trainers in that 30 second walk than I have in the last 12 months...not happy...where do I send my cleaning bill...club or council...

WMDC ,Town Hall, Wood st, Wakefield c/o Peter Box.

I have given.my services many times in the past on an if requeated would do so again I will gladly compile a risk assesment and offer it to the club and was willing to do so hence putting it out here looking for positive contributions from those also in attendance but all I appear to.have got is a parenting class for those whose children were forced to walk on the road.

Horbury, I think you may find the response was caused by the comment about the kid walking down the road. That isn't the point you are actually making.
Closed gates and crowds being too big for the pavements, and general exit procedures are a problem that needs addressing before someone gets hurt. No one would have a problem with trying to make it better, and your point is a good point.
Using the example of the kid walking down the middle of the road implies the parent just chose to risk their kid in an attempt to get past the crowd quicker.

It's a big problem, some people bustle out of the ground like it's on fire, and then just amble down the path as if it's a country walk. I don't get it, they are always 3 abreast and donny road is horrible!!! Get out, get where your going, but most importantly get out of my way

No your missing my point the child and his parents were forced off the pavement by the barrage of Hull fans coming the other way an for the umpteenth time I am not laying blame at anyones Door but just looking for any suggestions to stop this happening again altough not many clubs bring as Many as Hull did on Sunday an future double ups will be in better weather an more including myself will stay for the second game. But this highlights what a negative bunch we have on here im starting to see why Big Al has chucked in the towel people would rather start a slagging mstch as aposed to.thinking and putting on a positive response.

Does anyone know why the change was made in the first place?

Thought the stewards and all involved did a first class job considering the state of BV, the sooner we are out of the dump the better. How the hell you are supposed to get 3,500 Hull fans out of the ground when only one exit route is now available is a miracle. Imagine if Wakey fans on the Northstand had been allowed of the same exit gates. Its an impossible job. The club, the Stewards and all involved did a first class job.

I agree with the above and I think we have to give the club credit for finally enforcing the Home Fans only in the North Stand rule.

which exit was closed and why?.

we came out of north stand via the usual exit and very few hull fans were coming out that way

Mosque development at South end means you cannot exit that way from away side of ground, so North Stand asked to exit onto Doncaster Road, makes perfect sense.

Left by same exit as do every game, up street towards Cons. No problems at all.
