No queues getting in , but a long queue to get an arm band.

Are these wristbands been handed out next week too?

I would certainly think so with the barriers in place and work already started for instance the frame for the big screen has been removed and thus impacted the area around it.

Can any one on here who used the North Stand v Hull, give an update on how things went using the new routine. I didn’t think there was 1500 in the NS. The Attendance was given at just under 4,500, I would imagine about 400, away fans on Western terrace. Did anyone explain to you why the wrist band is necessary?

The west terrace was full, easily 1500.

The North terrace was not terrible, it seemed more than 1500 to me but if that’s what they say.

So that’s 3,000. I can only assume the other 1500 were in the east stand and terrace and the boxes.

Required for entry into the North Stand.
It was policed as well - no wristband on - no entry!

I think it represents the maximum number of supporters allowed in the North Stand which was probably not set by the club hence their eagerness to comply with this restriction.

I got in early so it was a doddle. 4 turnstiles in use and a couple of guys fitting you with the wristbands. I kept looking over to see how things progressed and noticed that the turnstile doors never closed so we can't have reached the 1500 max. There was a bit of a queue inside for the wristbands as the usual late arrivals rolled up but no real congestion or problems as I could see.

Considering how poor we've been and how bad the weather was I thought it was a reasonable crowd. Might be more wanting entry in the North Stand for the Wire game?

Believe the council were in attendance to keep an eye on it.

No barriers are up either side of the North Stand and the big screen frame has already been dug out. Quite a bit of terracing at either end of the standard was out of bounds it Work has already started for the prep.
