    Last gangway before north stand

    Happens every time we play a team who sell out away end

    Ranger v Celtic line of stewards separating them

    Same for Man City v man united

    Same applies for Burnley v
    Blackburn

    But Barnsley v Derby ( not only are they in a different stand but we also shut a gangway next to them in a completely different stand .

    Suspect they pay for extra stewarding. We don't.

    Surely if we sold them seats we could afford to pay for a few more stewards between the stands. Baffles me! Having that much of a gap from opposing fans has an impact on atmosphere imo

    And if fans did get to each other who gets fined - the club!

    Won't need those seats, home ends got plenty of room left.

    We won’t sell out the seats that are available. Doesn’t feel like it’s a problem to me

    Surely the stewarding already in place as well as the massive black sheets in away end across all the bottom will be enough..

    It’s more the principle of it

    They complain about atmosphere but sit home and away fans miles away from each other for no reason .

    It’s a completely different stand that’s what baffles me .

    You can see the thinking though. If we haven’t sold out, given the scrutiny we’re already under, they’re probably just thinking ‘why risk it’.

    That’s fair enough if it’s definitely not gunna sell. Like ya said ‘why risk it’ but with the hype coming out of the club last few days of how well tickets are selling then maybe we could sell quite a lot of them.

    I remember a game v Wednesday in the 00s when they used to sell those seats to home fans back then. A bit of a kick off happened stuff getting thrown since then they have rarely sold those seats.

    I guess their worry is that people would specifically buy tickets there, to get closer to their fans. If we’d sold out, I think there might be pressure to release the tickets there. But I don’t think we will

    Different stands or just a few seats apart the result is always the same. They just spend the match facing each other throwing insults, making gestures or even throwing missiles at each other. It's like two opposing packs of wild dogs. They just can't wait to get at each other, snarling and drooling for the whole match.

    I call that pathetic behaviour and anyone who buys a seat in such an area, for the express purpose of goading or abusing the opposition's fans, needs ejecting as soon as any anti-social behaviour occurs. It galls me that the stewards/police KNOW who is doing this and yet are powerless, or unwilling, to do anything about it. Some call that "generating an atmosphere". I call it generating hate. I don't want to be anywhere near morons like that - another reason why I avoid away matches these days.

    Personally I find it absolutely pointless shouting across to opposition fans, making hand gestures & looking irate when their team scores a goal. Not only that but it’s embarrassing when we or the opposition score a goal & fans pile all the way down to the barriers just to stick the middle finger up or make the ****** sign at some kids giving it back. Juvenile behaviour.

    I watched the match on iFollow last Saturday and one thing that stood out for me about the Cheltenham fans was how they did none of the usual moronic stuff to our players taking throw ins or corners. The fans were so close to the pitch and, down that long side opposite the dugouts plenty of them were able to act as ball boys because their front row seats were only a few feet from the line and no barrier. Perfect behaviour all round despite their team getting a severe thrashing. In fact, when our players gathered near the corner flag to celebrate that Phillips stunner several home fans in that corner were clapping the goal. Very nice to see but then, as a former resident of that area, I wouldn't expect anything else.

    Cue someone to come on here now to tell me about the Cheltenham "Crew" that caused mayhem outside :)

    Remember when we played Leeds and fans were fighting in that corner? That's the reason we don't sell tickets in that area. And that isn't a guess, it came from the club

    Things were so different when I first started watching the Reds, as a little boy of 6, back in the 50s. There was no segregation of fans in those days, just as there isn't at County Cricket still today. I went to local away games with my elder brother, cheered for the Reds, while standing among fans of the opposition, and never felt threatened in the slightest. Segregation of supporters has encouraged the idea that the supporters of the other team are the enemy. I'm not saying it would be sensible now to scrap segregation, but I think that's a shame. By the way, there were no stewards then, just a couple of bobbies, strolling round the perimeter of the pitch.
