Quote: Hessle Roader "I'm not a Rovers fan but as I understand it, away supporters are free to go elsewhere in Craven Park, as indeed they are at the KC.'"
I get your point but it's slightly pedantic. Yes they can but generally they don't. There is an away area at the KC that's for certain and for obvious reasons most away fans will go there. Ditto CP. This can be achieved because it is possible to segregate through the turnstiles and from within. This is especially the case at CP where the stands are separate.
This is not the case at BV where the whole terrace 75% of the ground is accessible from the inside with only the small seated area able to be restricted. Yep it's a really old and poor stadium for the modern game.
Last year we had real issues between fans with trouble caused by both. We simply have to do something this year so lets see how it goes. It's probably a back handed compliment as this plan only applies to clubs with a large away following.
