It's been like this for a long time people who don't sit in the East stand don't know what it's like, This year we had St helens fans shouting at Wakefield all the way through it really did get on your bits, They sat there obviously to provoke us. All the other away grounds sit us right in the corner out of the way but with no stewards everything goes at wakey I don't think it's going to change

The thing I can’t get my head around regarding segregation in standing areas is, at some games you can enter the ground through the turnstiles where away fans go, walk up the stairs past the snack bar and then into the Northstand...on odd occasions though like Sunday, all of a sudden you can’t and have to walk round to the turnstiles behind the Northstand?...Then, having not been allowed to just walk past a few away fans you make your way into the Northstand to get passed by away fans who’ve entered the Doncaster Road turnstiles...

On another note...was surprised to learn on Sunday that you’re allowed to smoke anywhere in the Northstand that’s not under cover! Not good for a non smoker who doesn’t like it (doesn’t bother me)...or supporters in their late 70’s like my old man who has lung and breathing issues and now can’t stand where he has for the last 30 odd years if people choose to smoke there...

I understand your views on smoking there upthecats, this is why I hate standing behind the sticks at Cas, I've never come across so many smokers in a ground in recent years as the Cas fans. I guess it is something like the law is you are not allowed to smoke in any public indoor or covered area.

Ground is supposed to be smoke free. E-cigs are smoked in front of East stand, no one seems to stop them.

Re: Segregation : Tue Sep 03, 2019 5:36 pm  

No, apparently not?

I thought it was no smoking as earlier in the season I've seen people told to put out or go to a designated area...seems to have been a change though as I questioned a steward and then asked them to question it again and was told it was allowed as long as not under the Northstand roof...

I don't blame the lads for smoking by the way...if they're told they're allowed to do it and that's the stadium rules now then so be it....bit annoying with lads drinking at same time as an ex smoker I know that with drinking you're practically lighting one up off the last one you smoked!
