Well, I prefer having the North Stand for home fans only.



The only time we have had such an atmosphere in recent years is at away games, and that's not right!!



It may well need managing better though...

You make a good point. If they didn't communicate the change, they are killing their plan whether they thought it through or not.

This suggests that it is something that's now being strictly enforced rather than a situation where "home fans who have traditionally stood in the Western Terrace will not be prevented from doing so".



I've stood on the West Terrace for all but a handful of the matches I've watched over the 25 years I've been supporting Wakefield. The East Terrace is a far worse view and I hate watching rugby from behind the sticks at just about any ground (IMO the only semi-reasonable view from behind the sticks is the upper part of the away stand at Wigan).



Aside from the drunken "antics" in the north-east corner that have blighted a few of the more recent matches against Cas, the only time I've seen anything approaching "serious" trouble was (ironically) a match against Hull in the mid-nineties. Even then it was something that finished as quickly as it had started.



If this "polite request" has become a (ridiculous) rule in the space of a few matches, I may well have watched my last match at BV. Clearly the move to Newmarket can't come soon enough.

Thanks.

This was the first real test of the new semi-segregation and it seems somewhere along the lines communication was severely lacking. A simply press release stating 'due to a high away following the West Terrace will be for Away fans only. To access the Cats bar home fans should use the East stand.'



Is that really too much to ask?

Perhaps Davide or someone else from the club that reads these forums would be kind enough to enlighten everyone. I'm sure if there's a good reason for it then most fans would accept it, but to go from "home fans can stand wherever they want" to this with no communication is very annoying for lots of people.

Talking about health and safety I would like to know why we have to put up with sound system so deafening, it got that bad I tried to see if someone could do something about it.



it was that bad it hurt my ears

atmosphere was quality yesterday, we have to move with the times and we need a kop. litttle scatterings of fans here and there is no good.



you can see the players reaction when they walk back to a packed north stand, poore especially he is amazed every time.



lets keep it up and its great to see belle vue bounce as opposed to bobble.

Obviously you weren't stood under the 'roof' of the North end, as you cannot hear it under there.

We tried to get on the western terrace like we have done for the last 20 years and told not a chance if your wakey fans! The club are doing so many things right then the smallest thing they let them down on!, communication!



Communication to the fans is simple before the game via the many social network sites the club and the people who run the club use! How hard is that! It's a lot easier to understand before the horse has bolted so to speak!



I would like to hear the clubs reasoning on this if you wouldn't mind pm me jinger please.

There was certainly a change both in the attitude of the security folk and in the "rules" that had been set out when the North Stand was designated "home fans only".

All we (supporters) need is clear information and if it is possible some explanation for the change.

Its really simple if the club communicate with the fans !!!

Just don't wear your scarf/shirt and enter through the turnstyles on the west, simple.



There is no way to police who is home/away if paying on the gate.
