The club admits that they acted hastily on closing WSG but felt there was little option at such short notice. Discussions centred around the "youth" element that have been causing the problems and we're hopeful that a solution will be found to reopen that section after the Wednesday game and help to identify the ring leaders so they can get what they so richly deserve. I'm pleased that you seem to have opened dialogue, I'm sure there's some compromise in there somewhere, I reckon some of you older heads might have to self police the area to a certain extent. There has to be goodwill on both sides for this to work, I had visions of the meeting been hijacked by green street wannabee's that have already decided what the club are doing without having heard them We had dialogue with the club from day 1 Filo, they were supportive but (rightly, IMO) didn't want to be too "hands on" with the promotion of a singing section.Self policing was a big theme of the meeting but obviously the club don't want to see any sort of vigilantism!The biggest problem is identifying the troublesome element. CCTV only goes so far, without names it's difficult for the club to act however GB confirmed they DO monitor Facebook / Twitter so I'm sure after that PATHETIC thread on the FB group the other night they'll be well aware who's who. We're now waiting for the club to confirm, via the SLOs, that they'll reopen WSH for ticket sales providing people provide ID at the point of sale. Not ideal but if it means the club can positively ID these little Kitsons and ban them I'm all for it.Nothing is ever easy, is it?

No wonder 17-22 year olds would rather support leeds or wednesday. Clubs a joke.
Awful atmosphere again today and there was still trouble after the game. No wonder 17-22 year olds would rather support leeds or wednesday. Clubs a joke.
As soon as fans try to create any sort of atmosphere ie drum, band, singing section the club squashes it. Thats why the club is a joke and thats why 17-22 year olds will continue to choose leeds/wednesday over us. Its not just wednesday, we get out sung every week. We was 1-0 up against one of out biggest rivals and the home end was like a morgue.
We've won again cue the moaners re.atmosphere, food and drink prices etc etc.
If the singing section created the trouble against Huddersfield and barnsley what was the reason for all the trouble today after the game?
Quote from: MrFrost on March 21, 2014, 11:51:39 amWell the only trouble I've witnessed or even heard about was the Barnsley fans lobbing flares and bottles at us. If that incident is one of the maybe it's the away blocks in that corner that should be closed? No?there was trouble at the hudds game, with fans from both sets of supporters in the north west corner leaving the match early at the same time, presumably to fight outside. There was initially maybe 10 or 20 left from each set at first, following be a steady stream a few minutes later, presumably those who wanted to go and watch? And this was against Huddersfield, not exactly our closest rivals.

After Yesterdays events, I think the club should review their ticketing policy regarding away fans easily obtaining tickets for the home end. If the club are going to make knee jerk decisions over the singing section in the west stand to try and curb any potential trouble, the least they could do is get their house in order and stop making it easy for away fans buying tickets to the home end at our ticket office, they've already said this week that they monitor social media and forums and there were plenty of warnings that this was happening all week, yet they did nothing about it!
If the 15 or so young kids,aged about 14 to 17 who were sat near us in sw corner,thought they were creating a good atmosphere by swearing for 90 minutes then they were wrong.
The trouble that happened yesterday was mainly due to both sets of fans been let out at the same time, going the same way..When we are away in local games they keep us in for 15 minutes at the end to let the crowd disperse...Some just posture for effect like the youths who waited till the Wednesday boys who were thrown out were halfway down the stand before jumping out there seat and going after them knowing full well they wouldn't get near them...Although one or two seemed to be getting stick from our own fans when they skulked off back to their seats...As for the trouble in the wasteland whilst im not saying our fans are blameless,they wendy lads were all bladdered and looking for it.....
We were at Brentford and im sure we were at Hillsborough...but it would make sence on days like Saturday...

I left straight away at Hilsborough because I needed to be back quickly.I'm sure I read somewhere keeping fans back after a game had been stopped some time ago.
