    I assume you haven't read previous discussions and the pathetic reasons given by the Safety Advisory Group and Police as to why away fans couldn't be put in Upper West Tier?

    You can't segregate fans in the West Upper, the West and West Upper both use the same stairs to get out the ground.

    Away fans are fine where they are for now. But no way should the segregation issues keep the gate below 25,010

    The Arsenal and Everton games were supposed to be sold out and yet both had under 25k. crazy.

    They're being moved to the north east corner.

    That wasn't the reason the SAG and police reckoned made it impossible.

    On Derby day the Upper west is a mixture of hull fc and rovers fans. Does this rule just apply to the football then OLM?

    Away fans are segregated all grounds.

    I've no idea what happens at rugby games, but I'd have thought they'd be segregated there too, the place is half empty anyway.

    Probably like a lot of other rules. Like drinking in your seats, letting flares off isn't a punishable offence and throwing objects onto the pitch is all part of the fun.

    I was disgusted to be surrounded by Everton fans in WU2 yesterday. Some were quite vocal in joining in with the chats from the North Stand and except for the obvious lack of Hull fans aged 20-40 in this area I'm sure there would have been trouble before long. The usual stewards whose job it is to misdirect people to thier seats were nowhere to be seen. I'm really pi**ed off with the club for allowing this to happen, but then again what should they care so long as they get the £££.

    So it now appears. But will that allow us to get more than 25,010 as a SOLD OUT CROWD next season. ?

    I believe we will have less segregation, but I don't know how much less.

    There were quite a few in the North, wearing Everton shirts too.

    I just dont know why that is not the sold out figure(25,010) as things stand. But whatever can be done to get more in is fine with me.

    Drinking in your seats is not against the law at rugby, though until recently the KC was probably the only ground which didn't allow drinking in seats at rugby. Funny how Corcoran can track down our fans for letting off a flare at away matches but no one has appeared in court for setting off flares at the last Biggest Derby In The Universe And Everywhere Else right in front of the police control box. Neither have any of the ones arrested or the bottle thrower.

    One excuse given by the police for the ways things are handled at the KC is it is designated as an events stadium not a sports one. I would have thought a football match was an event so don't see their point.

    And u11. Annoying too with their witty spouse jokes and chants ! They must have drunk the bar dry judging by the state of one of them who couldn't sit down. The Everton supporter next to me said that he had come down with jelavics agent and that he was leaving ,jelavics that is straight after the car and driving to croatia. Not sure there's any truth in that butch explain why he went off early. Apart from the fact he was pigging useless

    It doesn't explain why he was subbed off early, because he still appeared at the OSC End of Season Awards thing later. But he did nip off from there before everyone else so it could still be plausible.
