Agreed it is a daft policy. I assume the same thing was in place last season against Bolton because on leaving the Halo Terrace there were quite a few idiots from Bolton walking past who were verbally abusive and seemed to be looking to provoke something. It was a long way to walk round if they hadn't been sent that way?
The fixture against Wrexham was also a strange one. For some reason half the BW was closed. That left 250 maximum home supporters on there. At the conclusion of the game we stopped behind on the Halo Terrace to applaud the players and roughly five minutes after the game had finished we made our way to the far end of the terrace to exit and use the loo (just around the corner), before we set off for an hour and a half drive home. However that exit had been barricaded off (never seen this before) and two stewards were manning the barricades. The BW was now totally empty and we tried to leave only to be refused exit. I explained that we required access to the loos to no avail, over their dead bodies. Total jobsworths devoid of common sense. Incidentally the other end of the Halo was very busy with folk trying to get out of the one narrow exit available. The situation wasn't helped by the small steward in a red jacket who came rushing over, generally throwing his weight about and getting in our faces with a very condescending attitude.
All we are asking as regular paying customers is that a little more common sense and proper customer service is applied. We live in hope.
