Aye, that's why I said the club. Know its nowt to do with yous

Here’s a professional ball stop netting and post system that would do the job. Suggesting it as consideration for a dedicated fan fundraiser or if the Trust could host and promote a fundraising link like they did for the flag last season for fan contributions. It’s not cheap- Coming in at £870 for a 20ft (h)x 50ft. (L) socketed system but would protect fans in the fanzone from stray shots…what you reckon folks….

Maybe we could trade the Kelly’s Heroes flag in with Wigan.
Probably get away with one half that height tbh due to the fencing already up. Also half that price through Amazon

That's the solution surely and is what they do in any other ground that I have been to and when you think about it, isn't it why the club have installed CCTV cameras?

Why not use Segregation netting - (advertising opportunity) that can be moved easily. Why do we have to over do everything?

Hopefully can be sorted in summer.

You post a lot about various things that can be improved upon which is constructive criticism which is perfectly fine by the way but are you in a position in life where you can physically help out as you have some decent ideas & im sure every spare pair of hands will be appreciated.

I’m only querying why they have used spud sack grade material for segregation sheeting when there is proper ball stop netting out there and proper segregation netting. I’m just querying that decision to use more expensive and introduce even more more obstructed views with scaffolding and fabricated frames for perspex sheeting. I just don’t get some of these decisions that to me are over the top and likely more costly and labour intensive to install and remove. Not to mention the fact that away fans have to pay full price for the pleasure.
