Correct decision if it happens.
Everyone knows what going on. Also makes life easier for the stewards.

Win by enforcing safer rules on matchdays for all?

Those who cannot control themselves should be removed. The only people we have trouble with in the stand are the Wrexham supporters and we are only the width of an aisle away from them. We just don't retaliate. If ignored they don't get any satisfaction.

Why not If they are in the wrong? No discrimination.
Can't reply to anymore as I am off swimming. I have to do my 40 lengths.

At what stage does one become "in the wrong" ?

I think segregating ALL games is a bit of a knee jerk reaction and will cost the club money needlessly.
Why should we have to segregate 5 Boreham Wood fans on a Tuesday night in the winter months or many of the smaller teams from the south who won't bring any more than 10-20 fans? The club have to provide a dedicated turnstile, seats, refreshment, toilet facilities and stewards for away fans.
This alone inconveniences Barrow fans as on the Main Stand side you'll get 600 fans trying to use 1 or 2 turnstiles and less than 10 using another.

What happened on Saturday wouldn't have happened if police and stewards had done their job properly. Their lack of intelligence and correct action (yet again) knows no bounds and I think they are saying this to try and cover up their own cock-ups.

Just put away supporters on the western terrace, most teams don't justify having half the holker end anyway if its good enough for the likes of Oldham & Bristol rovers and Brentford its more than ok for the teams in this league
Just my opinion

Cant do that.

The old directors complained about having to walk through away fans so they stopped it

Agree no need for a knee jerk reaction on this one! The club know what clubs supporters will be potentially troublesome, and barring the odd exception they mainly get it right! They got side tracked with the family day made an error of judgement in this instance, but surely it's not necessary to segregate all teams. just as when we travel to some clubs it doesn't we all usually mix very amicably.
My concern on this one is that away supporters were allowed to bring bottles into the ground and when reported our stewards didn't appear to want to do anything about it. The young PC made quite a few friends with his common sense approach, hopefully that's something that all of us can learn from!
