It's a good idea just needs to be policed properly, it's the clubs responsibly for the safety of both home and away fans and numerous occasions last season in the north stand there was trouble so the club has to act on this. Yes it's hard to segregate belle Vue and the north stand is where aways fans have traditionally stood but I think the idea is to let away fans know the north stand is now the home stand and western terrace is now the away terrace. It's not perfect but the north stand full of Trin is like an extra man why let the away fans have it. If we don't offer some sort of segregation you'll get2 sets of partisan supporters thinking the stand is theirs and often ends in tears and spoils the enjoyment for the rest of us who just want to watch the match and cheer on the mighty Trin

That's the problem. They allocate a side of the ground that is very popular with home support when they should more sensibly have allocated the East Stand paddock where relatively few fans go. I'd be interested to her the rationale behind that. I'm sure the home dugout will be delighted to have the Hull KR lot screaming in their ears all the way through.

That's why it needs policing properly not just a half hearted "you stand there" and not following it up which will probably happen. If its going to work the club needs to do it right

And probably the most volatile section too!

Agree east stand paddock would be better with north east corner as a overflow .

Seeing as your location is Wakefield, I'm assuming you're a Wakey fan. I don't see your problem, the stand you have always stood in is still there - just with a roof!

If you enjoy standing in the open air with away fans, then you can always go to the West terrace?

Ah, this explains much.

Point still stands though, why not just get behind your team, stand at the side once a season and take a walk on the wild side.

I hope it is and I hope it p*sses it down, let them see what it's been like for away fans visiting them over recent years.

How the hell is it going to be any different to the previous 40 + seasons of visiting your ground, I cannot remember EVER being under cover !!!!
