I thought it would be carnage with people standing / sitting where they wanted and not wearing masks etc but nothing of the sort. Didn't detract from the atmosphere though. Maybe when we go back to 'normal' we should continue to spread out.......... 1 Link to post Share on other sites

A bit pointless family groups having single seats could have got 30/40% more people in if groups had been allowed.Why not have three or four seats together all have stickers on them to allow sitting together.Hopefully this can be sorted before our next home game.I was excited all day Monday like a kid waiting for Christmas. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I was excited all day Monday like a kid waiting for Christmas. The guidance allowed for bubbles to sit together, it just didn't seem to be followed (although it could possibly have been made clearer): - 1st person in the bubble sits in a ticked seat with the others sitting in the next available seat. - The 1st person in the next bubble sits in the next available ticked seat that is at least 2 seats away from the last person in the 1st bubble Link to post Share on other sites
haskey 320 Posted May 20 Report Share Posted May 20 Yes it was a bit of a mess. steward coming round saying" move ", came with son in law in same car through same entrance walked up the stairs together and then told SPLIT" it lost a lot of our together banter, Wearing glasses also made wearing masks a bit of a bind. With no distancing at the Railway End it seems the club could have been a bit better. Hopefully feedback will be useful for our next home match. BUT still great to be back.

MADREDNIGE 746 Posted May 20 Report Share Posted May 20 Great to be back and enjoyed the game but i just cannot understand the point in people sitting apart when there was all them fan's behind sticks close as hell together, doesn't make sense to me. Looking forward to Widnes game though. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
haskey 320 Posted May 20 Report Share Posted May 20 Yes M just hope the club gets plenty of feedback and acts accordingly. Link to post Share on other sites

In the stands at the Warrington v Huddersfield game there were loads of supporters sat in groups.i got in 20 min before kick off for our match and got the only remaining seat in the Stable stand.

The Blues Ox 1,407 Posted May 23 Report Share Posted May 23 Home fans only for our game next week by the looks of it. Real shame as its one of only about 3 games in a season at home for us that has any atmosphere. Link to post Share on other sites
Cardypaul 489 Posted May 23 Report Share Posted May 23 It is a shame really when most clubs are allowing away fans in. Link to post Share on other sites

God knows, just a small statement from Fax with more to follow Monday. they talk about bubbles and space between seats so my first impression is that maybe its just seating area only which would vastly reduce the possible attendance.

Well we couldn't catch the virus stood behind the sticks at Fev Oxy. Season ticket holders were more at risk as they were segregated in the stands. So your local council could relent and give us the standing room behind the sticks like they normally do. It's just a case of liaising with the Wakefield council 1 Link to post Share on other sites
haskey 320 Posted May 23 Report Share Posted May 23 It seems that the local councils are treating us like second class citizens. A bit more common sense would not go amiss by both the councils and the clubs. Link to post Share on other sites
wasginger 229 Posted May 23 Report Share Posted May 23 I think either Halifax or Calderdale council could find themselves skating on thin ice, if anymore Halifax home games allow away supporters during current co-vid restrictions. Link to post Share on other sites
Cardypaul 489 Posted May 23 Report Share Posted May 23 Seems strange that they are allowing 2 games with crowds today unless all the tickets are for both games Link to post Share on other sites

I think all lot of what we are seeing at rugby grounds is local councils being over cautious They fear something may happen that could bite them on the backside Link to post Share on other sites
