It also looks like the away fans can only use 2 turnstyles to enter the ground.
I think this is going to be a nightmare.

| Quote: wrencat1873 "I cant decide if this is a good move or not.
If, as one poster suggests, Cas have declared tha Railway End to be exclusively for away fans, has there been some kind of directive from the RFL or, are we just trying to improve the atmosphere on matchdays.
It has already been mentioned that the capacity of the Western Terrace will struggle to cope with the numbers of fans from Leeds, Cas and the 2 Hull clubs, so will these games become ticket only.
Our group have stood on the Western Terrace for over 20 years and IMO it is the best view in the ground, also will entry and exit via the turnstiles on the west side of the ground be open to all supporters ?'"
Cas have not made the railway end for away fans only (i stand there myself outside the supporters bar) technically away fans can still stand in any stand, the only difference from previous years is that to stand in the wheldon road end fans must have purchased a membership (this applies to both home and away fans) which start at 50 pounds, i know of several leeds fans that have purchased bronze membership as they can get 2 tickets and can make there money back in discounts and selling the cas hat, pen etc that you get with the membership pack. These away fans will be able to access the 'members stand' while many home fans will not.
Hope this clarifies things for you.
For the record i'm against this or any form of segregation as imho its only leads to trouble.

| I’ve stood on the western terrace for forty years & I’m not changing anytime soon.
The club can do all they want to encourage people to go behind the sticks, just not my cup of tea.

No there isn't as i have mentioned on a post above Castleford have one stand for members only (the wheldon road end) but away fans can stand here if they have a membership which away fans can purchase if they wish to, this has only come into effect this year.

Away fans can still access any part of the ground, to the same extent as cas fans, see my post above.

| So cant many of us who usually park on the West side of the ground now come through the West Turstyle ? Will away fans all have to travel along the snicket between the main gate to get to the West stand turstyles and will that cause congestion in that area ?

| Initial reaction from me is ............. no. I enjoy the West Stand, rain or no rain. You're not too far removed from actual play no matter where it is or which half. I've had many a good chat and a bit of friendly banter with away fans. Even a voluntary segregation like this just increases the "us and them" atmosphere and possible antagonism and aggravation. I think the turnstile issue COULD be a further problem, but up to now no plans for any changes have been announced. I'll probably still go the West Stand but I will be sad there won't be the same mix of people there as there has been. Maybe I'll have to try the East Stand if it becomes a problem.
