    Keep it as it is in Midland Road for visitors and send surplus over to Bradford end and knock a couple of quid off the tickets to account for lack of “facilities” in there. Make upper tier a family zone too.
    Oh, I won’t be there tonight (again) due to last minute cancellation of trip over. On the positive side I missed the Wigan game too. All is well over here now, which is more important.

    That was stupidity beyond belief then and would be now . Segregation was largely unmanageable inside and outside .

    Yeah, great idea to have all the away fans milling around outside the ground in between the two biggest blocks of home fans.

    Well sadly the design of VP doesn’t offer many other options other than to hand over block E and look at the drama it’s causing.
    The higher up the leagues we get in becomes more of a challenge. When we were in the championship last I’m pretty certain away fans had blocks EFG plus Dallas.
    If there are no plans to move away from VP then I’d suggest building a 3000 capacity stand in place of Dallas is a top priority.

    How does it become more of a challenge the higher up the leagues we go? If we do go up I suspect most game will be very near to being sold out every week at Valley Parade.

    Oh and a new stand is a non runner straight away. No way will they allow Valley Parade to be expanded.

    The only viable option , is double deck the Midland Road which would make the TL look daft , and or extend the main stand and relocate the changing rooms underneath ? On the other hand we could relocate …I’ll get mi coit ;)

    Let’s see if the system works.

    Not going tonight
    Just CBA

    Mine and my wife’s seats are available to two of the thousands of fans who want to go to VP on a Tuesday night against Mansfield but don’t have season tickets.
    Hate to see our seats empty.
    Main stand B block row N

    £10 each. or both for £30

    First come first served.

    Barely a spare seat to be seen! I guess you've had lots of interest in your bargain basement priced season tickets. The system must be working well. Well done!

    So you're putting 1000 people in an area with about 650 seats in it?

    Nice one Einstein.
