Seems a bit of a over reaction!
I would imagine it's more to do with the fact we can't restrict the number of Derby fans attending so to provide a gap and possibly segregation downstairs we need to close the corner.
FA cup rules say away fans should be allowed up to 10%. That would be less than they bought in the league game so I could have kept my seat and beet further away from them.I would imagine it's more to do with the fact we can't restrict the number of Derby fans attending so to provide a gap and possibly segregation downstairs we need to close the corner.

I was undecided about coming but this has made my mind up, if they are going to tread me like a prick then they can fuck off.
Over the top response to say the least. All things like this does is whip the supporters up into a frenzy increasing the chance of trouble.
Just put proper crowd management in place that happens at every single other ground in the county.
It’s becoming a joke. Huddersfield Saturday there was about 3 foot with a waist height bit of perspex and row of stewards between us and the home fans.
Since we played Derby there’s been more netting and no repeats.
Why does the Ricoh need 3 blocks empty? It will end up killing the great atmosphere the corner is generating.
Can see this being a 8K crowd, unappealing fixture, another lunch time kick off, £20 tickets, no pay on the gate and no corner to get the noise going.
Is it bad I think there's been an overreaction to the overreaction?Well that's mademy mind up on whether to go or not. Going to sack it off.
Total over reaction, absolute nonsense.
The club really need to be pushing back against this and demanding some explanation. If necessary have a word with the local media and get them to run pieces embarrassing whoever is making these desicons.It's an absolute embarrassment for WMP.

Hopefully there will come a point when we can sell out the stadium and if we can't use thousands of seats every week because those in charge of crowd management are incompetent that's a decent chunk of revenue lost. Need to act before this becomes the norm, before you know it we won't be allowed to sell season tickets there or something equally stupid.

My seat is in Block 15. I saw this morning that it was unavailable.It’s becoming a joke. Huddersfield Saturday there was about 3 foot with a waist height bit of perspex and row of stewards between us and the home fans.

I think I'm more pissed off about this than the Bournemouth debacle.

Absolutely, just bending all the time.The club really need to be pushing back against this and demanding some explanation. If necessary have a word with the local media and get them to run pieces embarrassing whoever is making these desicons.

I can actually see that happening and it will kill any atmosphere.That's me decided, If I can't be in my season ticket spot, I ain't going.
Could this actually be a thing from next season? only sell upto 16, and keep 15-13 closed to home fans.

The safety officer and SCG are fucking morons.
Was there a particular incident that happened that led to massive gap between home and away fans?
I definitely can see it, they shut Block 13 and 14 in the late 00s. Worrying as there’s more chance of Bright getting out of bed on a Monday morning than any atmosphere being made in the Telegraph stand.
To me the segregation since Derby has been overkill as it is. Some common sense is needed. Don’t understand why the CBS is treated so differently to any other ground.
I had a season ticket there at one time. Most games we told we couldn’t sit in our seats due to safety issues. Gave up in the end and moved back to the telegraph standOnly thing I can ever think of was the Chelsea game where there was a tiny bit of bother. By that, I mean bottle throwing.
Let's not forget, in the first season at the Ricoh, they were trying to promote sitting behind the goal next to away fans as the new 'West Terrace'.
