Don't worry it will be all seater at new stadium and then morons will stand up anyway Doesn’t help today’s issues though does it.

If I’ve missed it then I apologise but I can’t think for the life of me why covid means kids can’t stand at the front.!! Absolute joke. Unfortunately there wasn’t enough space on the bars anywhere for him but the way it’s going there will be plenty of space at future games. 😢 Social distancing in the walkways.

Fair play to anyone that takes their kids to our dump of a ground. No chance I'll be doing that.

Standing as a young un at the front of the Tote was a right of passage, if the club has enforced this due to covid, ok, if not, it’s a very poor decision.

I don't understand what it's got to do with Covid though - I thought that social distancing had finished, and there is just a request to wear masks when moving around the stadium?

I've noticed before that walkways marked in yellow on the ground have to be kept clear, but while stewards enforce it in other sections of the ground, that does seem to happen in the Thatchers...well until now.
I did see something on the website about covid and fans returning stipulating that all walkways would be kept clear.

bar spots should be readily exchanged for kids, elderly or injured. Might get seats come the year 3000. Poor really isnt it. They just dont think of the fans. Being 5' 1", I always arrive early to get a bar spot at the front. Then at 2 minutes to 3 some tanked up 6' 6" bloke always comes along and stands in front of me. sorry about that Tilly ~ Get on my shoulders if you like

I've taken all three of mine since they were young ~ two are grown up and still live the Rovers and I now take my 10 year old who loves Rovers. he stood at the front of the Thatchers with a few young uns

I think it’s to protect the players. The gap between the front bar and the hoardings in the East Terrace has been blocked off entirely and flagged as a ‘red zone’. Presumably to protect those in the dug out from us disease ridden supporters.

Compared to the awful results to date not as important but the tap doesn't work in the smaller toilet block (wasn't working Tuesday either) so hardly covid protocol, the main toilet block remains closed and will we ever get a PA system that is clear enough for all to hear?

Reply from Tom Gorringe for those who were Interested…
Good to hear from you and thanks for taking the time to email in.
Unfortunately, we share your frustrations and disappointment on this, however the change has been enforced on us.
My understanding from speaking to our Stadium Manager on this is that this is a long-standing EFL regulation, however it is now being enforced by our SAG so we have to comply.
We have had discussions about the stewarding in that area and the request has been made for a softer touch, particularly with families. If you did want to move to a different part of the ground because of this, let me know and we would be happy to upgrade you.
Furthermore, work is underway to create a Young pirates area at the stadium in the top corner of the car park which will give junior supporters a place to play and hopefully improve the match day experience for families.
Thanks for all of your support,
