There is now.

Away fans can still access any part of the ground, to the same extent as cas fans, see my post above.

I suspect this thread will hit 100 pages in no time at all.

So cant many of us who usually park on the West side of the ground now come through the West Turstyle ? Will away fans all have to travel along the snicket between the main gate to get to the West stand turstyles and will that cause congestion in that area ?

Stupid idea, creating more problems than it solves.

Initial reaction from me is ............. no. I enjoy the West Stand, rain or no rain. You're not too far removed from actual play no matter where it is or which half. I've had many a good chat and a bit of friendly banter with away fans. Even a voluntary segregation like this just increases the "us and them" atmosphere and possible antagonism and aggravation. I think the turnstile issue COULD be a further problem, but up to now no plans for any changes have been announced. I'll probably still go the West Stand but I will be sad there won't be the same mix of people there as there has been. Maybe I'll have to try the East Stand if it becomes a problem.

Its a good idea to have it as a 'home' stand but I can't see how they will police it?
