I know bolton away there was bolton fans in away bit lower tier in vip bit and forest fans to boot there was trouble some of derby fans got fed up if it and threw hot cup of tea all over them soon shut up and went inside. And that what I am saying having home and away fans is not a good idea I think should of given us whole stand. As I said I hope there no trouble. Forest have home and away support in the same stand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a wheelchair user we have to access the away end through the home concourse. The only disabled toilet for the stand is in the home end too. A really bad design (I know fellow fans that refuse to go there). The fact that having both sets of fans in that lower tier is deemed acceptable is a joke. I’m apprehensive about Sunday as the wheelchair platform is in the lower tier with the Wednesday fans. I haven’t experienced that at Hillsborough (the lower tier has been empty or had Derby fans in there whenever we’ve played there in recent times).

"Issues" aren’t the problem, though, are they? It's about feeling comfortable, being able to roar on your team and being part of the awayday experience with your own fans. Our disabled supporters have had some awful experiences at away grounds this season, most of them at small clubs who plead poverty. But Sheffield Wednesday? You're a big enough club to have sorted these things years ago, but you choose not to. Disgraceful, imo.

The Wendies' proper fans are saying the Leppings Lane lower will now be full of 'proper part-time supporters' and they are worried they won't be able to find their seats. Good luck with finding yours 😉. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problems will arise on the pitch by playing each other 3 times in succession. Little feuds start to occur - especially if McGoldrick gets special treatment. This feeds down to the fans , who get riled up.By the end of the third game , one team will be celebrating a cup final at Wembley and the other , bitter disappointment. Then it could get a bit naughty. Don’t recall much at Ellend Road a few years back but then again I don’t recall seeing many Leeds fans left by the time we left the ground!

Yes indeed, and what about fans who would like to go to away games, but cannot as they are unable to stand for 45 minutes at a time. Hardly fair is it? jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimtastic56 Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Trouble at football still rears it’s ugly head at football grounds on occasions. It kicked off at Hillsborough earlier on this season when Wendies beat Plymouth 1-0. These next 3 games could be volitile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
