You can at the Millenium Cardiff. However I do agree with what you say.

But if you did that at the Millenium at a sold out game you wouldn't have anywhere to sit.

As you can move between South and West now how would the stewards govern how many were in the West if a substantial number did decide to migrate?
I can't see this happening however but just a thought. It's almost a discriminatory move against those in the North Stand.

The North stand doesn't link up to the West stand though? The link between the south and west is the SW corner. It's not an issue for people to move from West to South because there's only a limited number of seats, whereas if you were allowed to go from North/South to west it could lead to overcrowding in the standing areas. You can only get from the South stand to the West stand with a valid West stand ticket I believe.

I've never been challenged doing that.

I have a beer with my parents who sit in the south and then walk across to the west for the game. I have a west stand season ticket.

I don't understand why it's an issue even if you are challenged (this is a general point btw). You should hold your own ticket throughout the match. Why someone said they throw their ticket away is ridiculous. How difficult is it to put it in your wallet/pocket? And don't let you children run wild into different stand and there also won't be an issue.

Big fuss about nothing this

Re: Wigan Sales : Fri Apr 04, 2014 2:47 pm  

That was me. Why would I keep the ticket? Whilst you maybe an affable fello who does not mind being asked. There are those who would start a fight if you asked them the time. Besides it's not a big fuss it's a talking point. You can say all internet posts are fuss over nothing. Someone asked about moving between stands. I answered without full knowledge thinking that the barriers on thenrnorth applied all around.

It most certainly does.

I think they will be more strict in this game and will ask to see tickets when moving around the stadium.

Last year they used the metal fence to block people from moving about and asked to see tickets.

In the games where the is 10/13 thousand it doesn't really matter.

Ah fair enough, don't think I've wandered round that way as of yet.

Just assumed it didn't as there's no corner!

And this type should not be allowed into the stadium.

But if you knew that you had to show a ticket to get into the west stand then it's not beyond the ridiculous just to keep hold of your ticket if you're planning to wander into a different stand.
