Any advice appreciated, was thinking of taking kids at weekend , not been away to wakey for a long time, sounds like the away supporters location as changed a bit. Is the away end any good for 9, 11 year old, if not was thinking about getting seats which are still available, will they be any more hull fans in seating do you think?

we will be sitting in the seats, no good for kids, (or adults) down the side as the depth of the terraces is shallow, so it only takes one person to stand in front of you and your view is gone! unless you get there very early and your kids get to the wall then id advise seating, £2 transfer at the doncaster road entrance

The viewing is bad enough for adults down the side so I'd go in the seats with kids, plus if you dare to stand under cover on the end you will suffer endless abuse from wakefield fans for daring to stand in the home section even though we'll probably outnumber them

appreciate responses, seats it is then

I'm sure if we all decided to come and sit in the home end at the KC we'd be welcomed with open arms, or even better if we'd have done it at the Boulevard

ProTip: The best view in the away end is down near the roofed bit at the end near the flats, also a good bar there too

Nice and easy isn't it, you don't even need to print it off, just scan the code on your phone at the turnstile

As for pubs, the Ruddy Duck is about 500m from the ground and has plenty of space. If you're arriving quite early then a trip to The Hop, and The Old Printworks in the town centre could be worth it, decent real ale pubs. I'd recommend a pint of Ossett Ale blonde or Excelsior if you can get it.

Is it ok leaving car in ruddy duck car park, going to have something to eat in there, leave car and go to game (hopefully)

I'm not sure, there isn't a parking machine there and I've never seen cameras so I'd guess you'd be ok, especially as it's a Sunday.

As has already been said, the western terrace (away stand) isn't ideal in the middle which is where everyone stands and makes it worse, but if you head down to the bottom under the roof the view is pretty good. That's always been my favourite place to stand but due to segregation I now can't stand there, so you're not the only ones who lost out due to a small minority of idiots causing trouble, some home fans lost out too.

Bowden Hadley out, bit of a blow that, but a chance for others to step up, COYH

First 13 picks itself, depends on if Radford decided to have Connor on the bench.

Bench for me would be

Green
Washbrook
Masi (Thomspon)
Turgut (Connor)

But think Radford will go with the ones in brackets.

With Bowden out and ellis with no pre season games under his belt I'd use him as interchange prop. My team based on those injuries

Shaul
Fonua
Carlos
Griffin
Tala
Kelly
Sneyd
Taylor
Houghton
Watts
Mini
Manu
Washy

Connor
Thommo
Green
Ellis

People questioning the connor on the bench. Me I'd bring him on as 6..let him take the reigns in attack so oposition have to re adjust and just let kelly ghost the ball all across the field. In D push a 2nd in 1 and connor whose strong in D can fill that area

Thats fair enough but you can understand us wanting to keep the only decent view for home fans, and can't let away fans in because it kicks off, same as it would if 2k Hull fans went in South Stand at Headingley or Wheldon Road End at Cas.

Arent all fans equal in the family of RL? Wakefield is the only ground in SL that isnt fit for purpose, I have many friends that support Wakefild and agree. anyone paying should be welcome, and sit/stand wherever they want.

Why should all fans be equal at one club but not at another? Surely it's easy enough to accept the wishes of both the home club and the home fans, if you can't respect those wishes then don't go to the game. As for the ground situation, Wheldon Road is just as run down as Belle Vue but Hull fans are respectful of the wishes at Cas and don't climb all over the toilet blocks etc (part of the reason why segragation is now in place)
