Many people I know won't be renewing their season tickets and wouldn't have bought one in the first place, if they knew segregation was the way forward'"
Do you go to away games?

| Somehow you need to ensure the toilets can be got to easily for everyone. I'm sure you know you have to provide a minimum amount of facilities for both men and women at regular points of the arena. Walking halfway round the stadium doesn't cut it i'm afriad.

| I know its easier said than done, but shouldn't the focus be on identifying offenders and dealing with them as appropriate (dependent on what they have done?)
It appears we run the risk of driving away some long time supporters whilst the offenders may continue to attend, and as such, complaints won't necessarily reduce just be moved to a different part of the ground

They are sufficient toilets on the North and East sides of the stadium.

So we stand in the corner just below where the screen goes. Where now are the nearest ladies toilets or facilities with sinks and cubicles for men?

The issues are between home and away fans. If the problems escalate then we will lose more fans through not feeling safe in our stadium. I can't understand why fans are feeling so aggrieved, we are just saying that fans need to watch the game from a different position thats all

North East Corner, around 60m away. we will steward the toilet block on the western terrace so both sets of fans can access them.

| I have been watching Trinity for the last 60 years. Most of this time has been on the western terrace and in the old wooden stand. I accept the reasons for segregation but feel a compromise is needed. If we have to give away supporters the western terrace, could I suggest you open Catherine Street turnstiles for them and fence most of the terrace off up to the exit gate. It has become a long walk for me from Catherine Street to Doncaster Road turnstiles and with my dwindling eyesight I cannot see the other end of the pitch from the north stand. This would also give an overflow area if the north stand was overcrowded. If I am not allowed to stand anywhere on the western terrace then my Trinity days are over. I realise I may be in the minority with my eyesight problem but you will appreciate only being able to see half a pitch is not good.

This didn't work out as the takings were very low. I will certainly pass on this comment to Lindley's Group for their consideration

The turnstiles are not in operation due to a managerial problem. I will look into this and try to rectify the issue. You are permitted to watch the game on the Eastern Paddock or Seated East Stand

Exactly, 60m accross the entire north stand isn't really a 'convenience' is it. The ones on the western terrace have to be accessable to all or some other new portables installed up by the food stand, where they used to be.

Think they were probably low because the service was so slow that people walked away.

I've always stood on the North Terrace so am delighted to have had a roof put on, but I can see the guy's point of view (no pun intended) - People who have been going a long time will be used to seeing the game from a certain spot.
I for one don't like the views from the sides, so would have felt aggrieved if the club told me I had to stand down there due to a few idiots who can't handle their beer.
BUT
I do think it's the only sensible way to resolve the situations that were occurring under the roof, people will adjust and move on.

I have just said that the western terrace toilets will be used by both sets of fans. A 60m walk to the toilets isn't unreasonable but each to their own on this topic
