A moan.

What is it with the stewards at Perpignan constantly checking tickets whenever Hull KR supporters came back into the stand from a bar or having a wee?

Le job creation scheme in my view.

I saw one man in a Rovers shirt get bundled away by about 20 stewards when trying to get back into the stand; by the smiles on their faces afterwards they seemed pleased with their work. I'm not sure what it was all about.

I didn't see any stewards at the stand just to the left of where we were, i.e. where there were only home supporters.

Moan over

Nowadays, just about all biggish 'all-seater' stadia, have a disabled section midway into the stand - usually the same level as the concourses. Langtree from pics certainly have pitch side sections, but I'd imagine they too will have elevated disabled sections. I'm not 100% sure, but I'm sure I've heard/read that for every new stand/extension etc they have to meet disability requirements. At CP we have a pitch side hut sorta' thing – hopefully short term.

yeah,traditionally the people with reduced mobility were always grouped together it seems at ground level at most sporting events and treated as an afterthought IMO

I really hope the new stands cater for these people like my missus who are quite happy to pay a bit more if the facilities are provided rather than stuck in a corner somewhere

one thing about the Gilbert Brutus is the parking facilities for Disabled badge holders is great - it's just when you are actually in the ground that you notice the lack of ramps etc - my good lady has two sticks and can negotiate most sports grounds in france but the new stand at Perpignan is a bridge too far....

They have checked the tickets in all sections from day one. Its due to it being an open stadium with different pricing. As for the steepness of the stand you should try ajax which is the steepest in Europe. Scary being in that stand.

yes it is scary but the stadium at Charleroi,especially the bit added on to increase capacity in 2000 was potentially dangerous IMO

the Mestalla in Valencia has to be the scariest terracing of all time though, making the Perpignan stand seem almost flat in comparison !

Put some pics up on fan views for thats stadiums guys!
