The distant area test of the premiere was barely 12 minutes old when a member of the security staff felt the need to intervene. Perhaps he took exceptions for dozens of school children in the Glusster section, with Surkens No. 10, with Fergus Burke, “You are just a shit Owen Fareel.”

Maybe he clearly did not appreciate the lyrical complications of the pre-drain made: “What do we think of Sarcans? Nonsense!” Either way, the decision to trial the zone in the two premierership fixtures this month is a polarized opinion and is a safe condition of which side of the safety staff member now sits on the fence.
As it was, no one was excluded from the stadium and a touch was resolved after half a time, which under the direction of the odd “what you don’t know”-in-form make two attempts with Thio Dan Scoring with the hooker as it came down 14-12 to claim 14-12 to 36-14. And if a bunch of school children was giving a little steam, it was not at all that the premierership was taken into consideration, at least the glycester Ae Zone created a slight movement.
In the buildup, the test provoked a backlash from the traditionalists regardless of its club’s loyalty. Those who capture “rugby values” push back against this idea. For those at the extreme end of the opposition, the very pronunciation of the “distant area” seems to be in a fear that a staunch band of cherries and whites can get down, complete with flares and Balaklav, ready to bring the Stonex Stadium to the ground. For them, the chanting of football-pilgrimage here would not have been well received. “Absolutely terrible,” was the decision of a viewer sitting nearby.
Overall, somewhere about 150 glusester supporters sat together. Each was provided with the flag, was slightly larger than an A2 sheet of paper, and a lot of casuals – themselves came from the billing as a shed – two community clubs, Old Cryptians and Brockworth. Fancy dress efforts included Super Mario, and a buzz Lightier and Woody Double Act, and, away from waving flares, most were not enough to buy fireworks.

The sun had a determination to enjoy their moment, familiar “glaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Was greeted by mantras. And, from Chris Harris’s early attempt for visitors, “the same old head, always cheat!” The air was given a lot of time. Nevertheless, five famous than the football factory is more dishonestly.
Glousster’s head coach, George Skivington said, “I really enjoyed, there were some mantras that I had not heard before,” Gluster’s head coach, George Skivington said, while his opposite number, Mark McCal, were equally positive. “I think it’s a good thing. I saw Munter fans [in the Champions Cup] And this brought some magic in the atmosphere. This is what the game needs. ,

The opinion between visiting glucuster supporters, many of whom opted to mix with Sarken supporters instead, and reactions were diverse. “I have earlier heard of it,” there was an inauspicious beginnings on the way to the ground, but most of the two fell into the camps. Curiosity and conservatism. Those who were surrounded by possibility were eager to give them a whirlpool and who do not like the idea of change. “We do not want to go below the football route”, the main argument seems to be “no need for this”, another said.
Certainly the ability to mix with opposing supporters, “banquet” that comes with it, is an important part of the experience for a lot of fans and whatever is endangered, it is not welcome. The most interesting point may be that the distant sector would be more effective on European trips, when visiting the atmosphere becomes more hostile when “listening to your voice” is equally difficult.

Premier officials are in pain to tell that visiting fans are still welcome to mix with fans of the house. That away areas are not mandatory. Describing the trial as a “progressive step”, they indicate how it is a step supported by the players “who say that they thrive noise and energy that can bring a vocal cluster of distant support”.
If it can make the premiership fixtures a better spectacle for the TV viewers, all are better because there is a new contract to interact and the key officials have been clarified that the best way to get a lot of revenue in the league is a bumper broadcast deal.
