North stand has a good atmosphere until the idiots at the back start swearing. Seems we have managed to bunch all our own idiots together with segregation, which has to be directly linked to the crowd trouble. Some of which is between are own fans

It as the worst thing Wakey did by introducing segregation. The noise may be better amplified from the north stand but it has turned the ground into several no go areas. The segregation is not 100% because every game this season that is supposed to be segregated away supporters have stood in the north end. Scrap the segregation and let the fans stand in the area of their choice, this is rugby league not premier division football.

Here we go again.

Thanks for the info........... didn't mean to start an argument! I'll stand on the side!!!

Cas has been home only this season as well.

But that's not segregation in the same vein as you are doing. You are pigeonholing fans to standing in one area of the ground only, which has a very limited capacity. It's not helped by the fact that you don't have a south stand, which would probably alleviate a lot of the issues being encountered and frustration amongst both home and away spectators.

At Cas you can stand anywhere around the Railway End or in the Princess St stand, plus sitting in the main stand and people are free to move in those areas.

Lets hope they put the HOME fans down at the sides and put the away speccies behind the posts where they can't see as much as they are doing at the moment.

I think I am in the silent majority who actually do like being amongst home supporters only (nearly) in the North Stand - it's a cracking atmosphere.

I agree with this. If you want to support from the North stand get there earlier!
Just wish the North stand 'choirboys' knew how juvenile they sound when they start swearing. It's pathetic - surely if they possessed one brain cell they would know that. Suppose that sums them up really. They should stick to Hey Jude etc, that surely lifts the team more than their stupid swearing.

I'm with you there.

There is a 'fantastic' photograph on the twitter account of our CEO

Dated 12 Aug, with the written content:
'Can we fill the @Fleetmaster uk stand like this on Sunday?'


I am not that 'technically minded' to be able to replicate the photograph on here, but I feel that it is well worth a peek.

Its the best atmosphere at Belle Vue we have ever had. Yet some folk still moan.
We have wanted a covered home stand for years, decades even.

You are missing the point totally. The fact is when you go to the ground to see a game of rugby played by the team you have supported for years you are now told where you have to stand or sit. If I wanted to listen to a load of bloody idiots effing and blinding I would go to the north stand, if I wanted to see the game without the expletives I would stand where I have stood for years on the east terrace

You can still stand on the east terrace, North stand is the best thing to happen to belle Vue for years

Well if you stand on the East stand (as I do) yes, I'm totally missing your point??!!

Thanks

I don't know how forward the pass was to Kay just before half time but I do know that all the saints fans were able to help the ref.

Its like playing away every _______ week.

North Stand has added great atmosphere to the ground, as has the covered terracing on the West Terrace. But the segregation in a traditional rugby ground has caused more bad than good. Before segregation i would go into the bar on the West Terrace, but since segregation have not been able to get in there due to it being away fans area. Will in future not be wearing my colours so i am able to have a few pints whilst supporting my team. Also unhappy that pies were being sold for a quid a go after the hooter at the West Terrace exit, so away fans benefit from cheap pies too!

quality, get up town they sell 2 for a pound

Sure that's a benefit for the away fans?

Sneaked a cheap pie in today. Very substantial corned beef and tatty. Away fans didn't know what they missed!

The passion / noise in the North Stand has fallen way off from just a few games ago, not surprising mind. By the way, I entered through the West turnstile along with Saint's supporters, using my season ticket with no problem from the turnstile op or the stewards, and I was in RW&B colours. Just saying.

how come you lot didn't go in the north in big numbers before the roof?
not being funny but the only difference is a bit of a roof the view is the same I presume?

Many of us prefer the Western Terrace, but segregation took that option away. I honestly miss the mixing of supporters, but circumstances dictated the actions taken.

Given a choice between the Eastern Terrace (too shallow and a crap view) and the North stand (end on, but decent view) North stand won for me.
