Quote: ☺East-Sard☺ "Kinda' agree. There is no problem sectioning where away should be designated. However, it comes a bit murky when the club says home fans can still use this area too. If away fans aren't allowed to leave this terrace, then this area should really be exclusive to away fans. How will they know how many fans are in this area if home fans are allowed to mingle as they please?
I doubt we'll test the 1800 this weekend but as you mention Leeds/Wigan/Wire/Cas/Hull probably will. I just can't see how they'll successfully enforce this rule, when a team who will bring close to or more than 1800. If anything it has all the hall marks to cause a health and safety issue, rather than avoid one.'"
It's a difficult one, we've needed a kop of some kind for years and the only realistic place it can go is the north terrace, which inconveniently has been the traditional away end since anyone can remember.
Belle Vue is not a flexible stadium at all, and the bespoke hospitality suite complex and tiny capacity of the sides mean that potentially we could have away fans lining each side of the pitch.
