Crown Flatter Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Unfortunately the club assumes every spectator has a mobile phone (and a “smart” one at that), plus access to a computer and printer. It would seem those who haven’t cannot go to the match. The club is unkind in saying that public transport should be avoided; the Government statement indicating that has now changed. All bus operators, following Government advice, have now increased seating to almost full capacity, the exceptions being that you are still not allowed to sit on seats which face the rear and standing is still not permitted. It should be noted here that social distancing on public transport now seems to be waived, but windows must be open to allow maximum ventilation. Legs, Dews, Legs.

True, and they also wouldn't have read the announcement nor be able to book tickets. Could you suggest a better way of making this information public? Nobody uses buses nowadays though, do they?

Do they assume every season ticket holder will turn up and sell tickets to make up the numbers to the capacity? Presumably if 50 STHs they will be short of capacity.I don't envy whoever has to get it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirklees have rarely done us any favours but given the recent surge in cases in the Borough one can hardly blame them on this one...That said have any of you who have been crammed in a restaurant or cafe lately might ponder why anyone is limited to just 600 in an outside setting....

Yes. Wakefield Authority appear to be very generous or reckless with their allocations, depending upon your viewpoint. How 4000 can be safe crammed into Belle Vue I can't understand. This is the same capacity that Huddersfield have been granted for the John Smith's Stadium - the contrast is baffling. It will be interesting to see what Batley's allowance is for their next game.

silcoates Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 At Dewsbury you could easily put 100 at the car park end ,safely, if people are sensible.But kirklees no doubt think one would trip on the gravel.600 for the ground seems far too cautious.May be stewarding is a problem. some new covid restrictions or advice seems to be on the cards ,so who noes.

I don't think anyone from the Wakefield authority has been to Belle Vue since the 1930's if they had the place would be condemned. The bogs themselves look to be a cholera risk waiting to happen...

HEATONRAM Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 So as season ticket holders for the North Stand I assume me & t'wife can just turn up for the Toulouse game and be guaranteed 2 seats, or do we have to reserve them somehow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HEATONRAM Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Thanks Bsj, the club have put a q&a page on the website and season ticket holders just turn up with their pass and are guaranteed entry so that answers my question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
