You might just find that it is not Belle Vue many are standing in then. I really don't think giving people another reason not to attend is the wisest move.

Spoke to someone in club shop yesterday as I had seen a steward on Doncaster Rd turnstiles taking a water bottle off a fan. There were several plastic bottles thrown on floor. Girl in shop could have passed message on but said I had to email club.

tHE ONLY DRINKS NOT ALLOWED ARE ALCOHOLIC DRINKS. No problem brining drinks or food with you to the games.
Open bottles may cause concern.
Its a stupid suggestion that because someone doesnt, every one else should follow.
If supporters have had a problem they should inform the club.
I thought the club had made an announcement .

The club had made an announcement, but they were still taking water bottles off fans.

I walked in to the ground yesterday drinking from a bottle of water, I got a look out of the corner of one of the stewards eye, but no comment, I came in to the ground through gate 17 in the north stand.
There does seem to be an inconsistency as I am aware of other people being told they couldn't bring their bottles in, but I did see people drinking from cans, smoking cigarettes and e-cigs in the north stand, so maybe the stewards would spent their time more productively whilst policing the stands rather than causing animosity outside the gates.
BTE=W I have just emails this exact statement to the club

I know of one gentleman who was removed from the ground, his family extends to 8 regular attenders. has the potential to be expensive for the club.

This HAS to be sorted

Just a bloody mess. I can only think this is now down to the security company not getting clear message across to its stewards. When is their contract up. If and when get rid.

I've read both these replies over and over and I'm still clueless as to what point is being made here, not being funny but I can't see what is wrong with his post, perhaps a simple explanation might be of assistance, then some of us might avoid doing the same thing.

After last week I didn't know what to expect yesterday , took my baby to the same gate , the stewards were polite and helpfull , no problems at all . Glad it was sorted .

I have been away a couple of weeks and cannot believe what I have heard re this . Fans have always been allowed to bring in their own food / soft drinks etc no problem. If I have it correct stewards started searching bags etc at the London and then Wigan game and bottles, crisps, bananas confiscated with no prior warning about the NEW policy from the club ( the only ref I can see re it is on the club site on 27 June). Now I can see the club do not want fans bringing alcohol into the ground, or even cans of soft drinks but bottles of water ( especially when weather is warm ) are a necessity ( I remember one hot day couple of seasons ago when at least 6 fans passed out due to dehydration). Now perhaps the club are trying to get folk to buy water in the ground ...this is both expensive & very time consuming - spending 20 minutes of an 80 minute game queuing for a drink is not ideal. So water in unopened bottles should be allowed by ALL stewards. Crisps confiscated well I just cannot see the sense in this at all or bananas. I hope from now common sense will prevail, less heavy handed steward from some stewards and more understanding from fans. We have few enough fans to be alienating some , its a family game and a family club lets look after our family .

Sorry for been so out of order on this forum In just happy with 5 points out of the last 6 and the direction our great club is heading. I never have any bother with the stewards because I don't take my own drink in its against the rules like most sports stadia. Maybe we've been abit lax over the years letting people bring their own drink in but we are now catching up with other sports venues. If some fans don't want to come to Belle Vue because they can't bring their own drink then so be it club rules are club rules. Sorry for been positive and not joining the moaning brigade but if you told me pre season that our biggest problem come July would be bottles of diluted orange, I'd be more than happy.
I have got a little moan though, them away fans need educating in using the right lane by the Charlie Brown traffic lights on the way home it's frustrating seeing them use the lane for town then indicate right while I've been queing patiently.

Ive always been able to take drinks in plastic bottles into rl grounds.

Totally with you on this one M62. Of course Wakefield want people to spend money inside of the ground - makes sense. It annoys me when I see so many outside Conservative club spending money which could be going to club. If there are some heavy handed stewards then they do want a word with. However, I have always found them polite and helpful. Another positive is the attitude of the staff on the turnstiles who make a point of saying Enjoy the Match to home and away suporters alike. Well done.

No need for this, your a good poster and should be enjoying the results we have been getting lately - as should we all. - and that is the point. Something has changed, either the rules, the interpretation of them or the application of them. Whatever it is there seem to have been some mistakes made and some lack of diplomacy on the part of some. I don't much care for stewards generally - they have a job to do, but many either lack the knowledge or the wisdom that is required in their dealing with customer, resulting in unnecessary friction involving some genuine supporters who have done nothing more than attend a game of RL to support their own club. I find this all very sad and devisive at a time when the club needs us all to stick together!

we are all very happy with 5 points and the direction the club is heading we are also very very proud to be part of a family club, a family game where folk look after their families by providing them with food n water and also spend lots of their hard earned cash supporting their club and game. Its not a massive moan because there is nothing else to moan about think its just a very silly situation 'invented ' at the London / Wigan games and which will hopefully be resolved soon. No one loves the club any less for it but you have to admit crisps being taken off kids is very heavy handed.

Whats the diference beween a facebook northstander and a dungbeetle coz I think they are both the same.

Good traditional old ground is belle vue, last time I couldn't get a pint as queue was too big and wasn't going down very fast.

I'll ask you again then squire, why is his comment out of order, why the innuendo's and all this cloak and dagger stuff about what you know and who you know. If you do not want to or cannot say why for whatever reason, then don't put us on the horse and not give us a ride, if you have anything to say you should explain yourself and not talk in riddles' unless those you know are the same people who told you about the 6pts Bradford were getting back

Dungbeetles' don't have mobile phones'.

some very tetchy people on here tonight.

Opinions' are like backsides', we've all got one. It would seem that certain people on here don't like others to voice theirs unless it agrees' with their own.

At least no ones put "Together we are stronger"

Well I for one agree with Jessica Alba's backside.

That made me properly laugh out loud Wollo.

I'm not going to fight anyone over this. It is up to the individuals involved to tell their story if they so wish, I just think J30 wouldn't put what he has if he knew.

And no. It's not the same people who told me that - thank God they were wrong, but it was 4 points they told me!
