It’s a recipe for unpleasantness breaking out, and without scaremongering, I hope the club have a means of preventing this this season.
Probably the same means as last season seeing as there was no bother caused by away fans in the home sections.

Out of interest any reason a temporary stand didn’t go up in time for the start of the season? I just assumed it wasn’t happening now

It’s a pity we didn’t manage to redo & increase the away capacity for the financial benefits it would bring in over the season, Hope it’s done this close season.

As LC says there was no bother last season & very much doubt their will this one…Unless it’s a Cat A fixture then the club will weed out any chancers trying it on as purple rinse Betty & Bob 65 from Bradford shouldn’t be causing any issues I don’t think, Always a risk though.

The pitch looks in superb condition. Well done Gareth and crew, probably the best I’ve ever seen it looking.

We didn't underestimate them, we just didn't think they were that good.

Laser levelled this time around and they had to lower some of the sprinklers. The ball runs smooth on the surface with no bobbling. It certainly looks a fantastic surface.
