Why is segregation with home and away fans so wide? Oyhrt clubs like norwuch seperated by stewards and a few seats or stairwell.
Also is it a concern to the club people falling down the steps really badly at the ground ive read/heard of a few incidents lately.
 
2025/26 season is just over two seasons away, what do we have planned to commemorate our 150 year anniversary? Retro shirts? Retro badges? Mikkel Beck’s charity game? a pop up museum exhibition? renaming the stadium? ‘We shall overcome’ played before every home game?

One of the issues regarding segregation is difficulties in the concourse - the stadium wasn't originally designed for the away fans to be housed in the East Stand - so it is not where the dividing line in the concourse would have been leaving toilets and food/drink hatches on the wrong side of the line.

Obviously another problem that is not exactly unique to us is that the naughty young kids sit in the South Stand close to the away fans and sometimes they enjoy throwing stuff or occasionally trying to take on the stewards and segregation webbing. This was a massive problem at Nottingham Forest's City Ground post covid where fans would regularly try to storm the webbing and at Hull City - where they actually closed down a section of the stadium at one point to keep rival fans apart. This season their fans were separated from us by the absolute minimum - just one gangway - on one side and it looked a real struggle for the police and stewards.

No, there need to be enough toilets for each set of fans and the same with the food/drink counters. When it was home fans in the East Stand people could wander in both directions to use the facilities.

It’s all basic block work tho.. nothing fancy.

If something needs to be moved from the south stand or the east stand.. it’s not going to be that much bother.

We are going to continue to have away fans.. might as well formalise that and increase our opportunity for more home ticket sales.

Put the away fans back to the end of the South Stand then, which I presume is how it was designed to be - only one set of segregation needed as well, so increases the capacity

How did home fans in the east stand corner manager to go to the toilet? This can’t be as complicated as it’s being made out.

I can understand hesitance if it was just for a trial period, but we’re pretty much set now. It works better us not giving the entire south stand to away fans.

No problems with fans mixing if the East Stand is all home., and I guess doors were put in the South Stand which can be shut to stop mixing

Don't have to give all of the South Stand to away fans - one net which can be moved across as required - very much like now, but only one net needed

The south stand for away fans just didn’t work. No point going back to something that didn’t work.
