if they keep leaving that useless fencing protruding along the pop side then the club should have to consider selling tickets with a restricted view at a discounted price. It looks cheap, it isn’t fit for purpose and like others say we pander to away fans a bit too much.. Most away fans know what they are getting when they visit Moss Lane, as do our fans when they travel to away games.

As a fan who removed from the annexed pop area i felt sullied.

I did assume that they must have brought 1000+ and needed the space, as they didn't it was a piss poor decision

I'm just checking. On Saturday the Halifax 900 and odd standing fans will be housed entirely on the scoreboard unroofed end. As i look from the Golf Road End i won't see any Halifax fans to the left of the scoreboard will I? Honest? The scoreboard terrace will be a sterile area and home fans who hold tickets for the pop side will terminate at the end of the covered stand before the scoreboard. I do feel I'm stating the obvious but you never know. Heaven forbid if it starts raining. Perhaps the home support could leave the stadium and allow travelling support to seek shelter? For the benefit of the Safety Officer and stewards that was said in jest. Don't consider it an option please.

Hope you're correct anyway!

Let's hope that there's some accountability for that capricious and short-sighted decision last evening.

I often wonder what would have happened if we'd been playing Chester instead of Kidderminster that time it started pelting hailstones the size of golf balls!

Hugh, if you haven't already done so I suggest you contact the club in respect of the failure of paid stewards to do their job. As other people have said it needs addressing before the game on Saturday.

To clarify, I remained in the vicinity until second half stoppage time to try and sort this. I spoke to several stewards and I think it is fair to say they know where I stand on this and would hope that this issue will be addressed. If there is a repeat, I will of course look out for Bill Waterson (who I know reads these pages) and tell him there is an issue and advise him to address it. If these stewards can't perform the basic functions one assumes they are there for, we should try and get some who can, no matter the cost.

Shocking to hear Hugh.

Even more shocking this is still an issue.

I couldn't give a f**k how happy the away fans are in the rain. It's quieter without a roof and it's our home to make noise in. If we want to be nice give them the family stand and when it's sold out they know the situation.

Not to mention the Chequers is the best terrace in the ground for watching games.

I have contacted Bill and the club today to make a formal complaint.

Especially in light the criticism was removed from a fan Facebook page this morning.

I've made complaints to Lawrence Looney, whose reaction was to remove me from a WhatsApp chat related to voluntary work when a complaint was raised about stewards

very poor that the fans (customers) are being censored . It feels like the club wants to be above constructive criticism
