See above. There will be changes though.

Is work actually taking place or is that all being put on ice for now? Be good if the club could give us some details of what is happening close season

They coped with them well for the Northampton game. It was our fans that spoiled it!

To be fair all the away followings have been managed ok. No serious incidents of note. AFAIK

Hartlepool was embarrassing rival fans trading blows at the front of HS segregation. Plod finally wandered around felt sorry for the stewards prior to that. Letting 1 side hammer on the plastic barrier and the other was pushed back . Let’s hope we never get a proper bunch of loons at HS because it will be carnage .

First game minor problems quickly rectified i don’t recall it happening again. I would say lessons quickly learned.

I don’t think many lessons have been learnt. Why can’t the away fans coaches be parked so the home fans don’t walk past them boarding ? Hold them back or shut off either side of HS if both sets must leave at the same time. I got grief off away fans a few times walking home after the game never said anything but got verbals as if it’s the expected way of behaving.

You mean like a lay-by or bus stop for the busses to park in? Like the ones outside the away end? The police stop cars going down there when there’s a big away support so use common sense and walk on the other side of the road

How do you do that when coaches are parked on both sides of the street ?

Is it not usual in other grounds for away fans to be held in the ground until the home fans have got away?

Not at League 2 level no

Theres some EU regulation which we adopted that makes doing that very difficult now think they have to give 48 hours notice.

It led to masses of problems at Blackpool last year so much so that they're spending money establishing a new away fans exit route

Some fans wouldn't want to do that, would they!!
Common sense is a rare commodity with some people

I’ve asked this once before and it got no answer from another know it all . How is it possible to walk on the other side of the road when away fans coaches are on both sides, a common sense answer would be appreciated.
