As much as I disagree with this entire thread...being in an open top stand is not an issue for me whatsoever.

This is wrong, away fans at Cas are free to stand wherever they please.

I thought the Wheldon road stand was season ticket only.

Yes there is, it's called the princess street stand .
That's were most away fans go especially if it's raining. If not then they chose to stand at the railway end.
Lots of cover at wheldon rd.

Nope, it's for anyone.
Even away fans if they wish.

Whilst it is true that there is no cover for away fans if they choose to stand you omit that there is no cover for home fans. The thread seemed to be about segregation and there is none at Odsal.

Ok fair enough, I thought they had to buy a £2 pass to go in there.

Our grounds a dump and hard to steward with it only been 3sides so for crowd safety western terrace is allocated to away fans. Write to P Box, R Walker and York court for an explanation and to complain.

We did do a scheme back when Ferres and Fozzard were in charge where it was season ticket only. Thankfully that was scrapped after a year

Ok cheers, thought I could rember that.
Might try the Wheldon road end the next time we play there.

We were in a bit of a difficult situation really though. The crowd sort of naturally segregates itself at most other grounds, whereas at Belle Vue everyone heads for the North Stand as the two side terraces are absolutely awful to watch from. A few incidents with crowd trouble when we're not exactly flush with cash plus home fans getting disgruntled meant the club needed to do something. I imagine if away fans consistently started turning up and filling the Wheldon Road end before most of the home fans got there then Cas would end up in a similar situation.
