Segregated tomorrow.

I added that update to the match preview earlier, but have also queried what access we will have to seating, as the update received didn't mention that. I do note from the Football Ground Guide website that they did allocate some seats in the main stand for away fans at a segregated game in a previous season - at a cost of £2 for the transfer (which they also charge at non-segregated games).
The segregated area is behind one goal as far as I can see, but does have cover.

Any idea if we can use their club bar? I see the kiosk we'll have access to will serve alcohol, but if I have to stand outside in the freezing cold and drink it I might re-evaluate the time I was going to get there.

Us too, we’ll find a nice warm pub somewhere on the way to have a pint and something to eat and aim to arrive just before KO!

From memory and it’s been a few years since I last went there, dreadful 0-0 I think. Is there not a pub very near to the ground. As I’ll be with Sam so getting to ground at 1.30 can people put on here where they are all congregation please so I can join you.
Segregation??? A few days after someone’s ban ends! Or is that just coincidence

Can anyone tell me why this game has been segregated, was it down to the police or (Nuneaton), seems ridiculous to myself,

Let's make that a incentive to get all 3 points at Nuneaton,

Even crazier was the fact that segregation was lifted after 10 minutes into the match. Searching fans when the walked in and only jacket potatoes and rolls on offer for food. Nuneaton seem to have got this all wrong. However, we did come away from there with all three points against an early season favourite. It was apparent after only around 10 minutes, that the home side were there for the taking. It didn't look like it was going to come until we were awarded, what I can only describe as a dubious penalty awarded by a ref who gave them every free kick for 50/50 challenges. Well done to the team again, taking maximum points on the road, with two more winnable games within the next week.
