Title: Bradford fans
Post by: bumble on October 26, 2016, 08:52:01 AM
I'm curious why once again we let away fans have the golf road end?

The noise after their equaliser was mega and probably went a long way to getting their players up for the rest of the game.

I had to walk through that and kids throwing cans. Would the head steward or board care to explain why we continue to give away clubs such as significant advantage?

We seem to have a suck it and see approach to segregation despite our manager applauding our noise against Stalybridge.

Louise Biwyer, perhaps you can elaborate as the face of the stewarding team

Decent numbers for them considering they hadn't won a game up to last night

Every home game should be segregated, we aren't even allowed in the bar at Telford yet we give them free reign, and three points. We are a soft touch hence we are sat at the bottom of level 6, simple as that. Stewarding costs would be significantly reduced if they were all kept in the away end. Yet we seem to want them to come here and enjoy themselves rather than make it a difficult place for their team to come and play

I stand in front of the sports hall and every game away fans being allowed to stand in the golf road end annoys me.

The noise from the Bradford fans was fantastic last night and if they were kept in the away end it wouldn't have been half as loud.

We swapped ends at Stalybridge, fans should be able to change ends where it's deemed safe.  If 30 fans shouting for their team has cost us the game we are really clutching at straws.
Seeing two players arguing with the manager during the 2nd half is of more concern to me...

Ah, so should we just employ kids because Staybridge do it?

It's not clutching at straws, noise from fans give players a lift. Not the sole reason we lost but an advantage we have given to them when we didn't have to.

As others have said, we are a soft touch both on and off the pitch, its time we adopted a bit of siege mentality and started to show some fkn fight and spirit. Its time for all this bollocks to stop and for us to show our prime aim to the public which is and should be that were a bloody football club first and foremost, not a fkn cut price crèche for the rich and famous of Hale and beyond

We need every advantage we can get. Not moving the fans is one of them

It is possible to do both, but it's about priorities. Telford have been a conference club for virtually as long as we have and wouldn't have thought twice about being kept behind the goal, its normality to such clubs. Moss lane should a place teams don't want to come and play but that will never happen when we are making it more important that Neville from dawley could have a warm at half time and buy a pin badge than using absolutely everything at our disposal to get our first league win. These clubs are laughing at us not praising us

Wycombe for example put the away fans miles out of reach  , northwich new ground did to use the home advantage

Altrincham have a maximum off 24 stewards last night 17 on duty. Bradford brought 39 no trouble makers with them so the chairman decided to drop segregation. The Bradford fans made great noise supporting their team. If they had been at the cheques end they would have still made more noise than alty fans last night.

So the same person that said it wouldn't happen again has gone back in his word and  pissed his own fans off yet again!

24 stewards at £10 a pop! Definitely didn't see 24 last night if so they must have been hiding away somewhere mugging the club of a tenner!
