    Why - whats different about that to the other end?

    Either the stand is safe or it isnt - I cant see how it can be 3/5ths safe. And what can possibly be unsafe about the lower section? its all seats on concrete.

    I am just really puzzled about what can have changed since last season when Wednesday filled those sections. Dont see why we cant sell them either to us or if we arent interested and huddersfield want them sell them to them

    I presume it's closed for crowd segregation - don't see why they can't just sell all but the last block.

    Certainly don't think we should let Huddersfield have them under any circumstances

    I'd heard something similar

    but the whole top tier is wooden. Also the end which is in use is the one which has had the most use certainly over the last 30 years and probably longer than that so if any side was wearing out....

    If its because of a fire risk - which is also something I heard, then the whole stand is unsafe by that reckoning

    I am really curious thats all
