They did have home fans behind both goals a few seasons ago (I sat in Block 10 or 11 for about half a season, can't remember which) but because of security problems and trouble etc etc they had to move us out of there. At the time they had Blocks 12, 11 and I think some of 10 open for home fans, then had a segregation net thing with away fans in blocks 6, 7, 8 and I think some of 9. It didn't work because we were all coming out near each other and it caused some issues.
With regards to putting them into 15 and 16, that would mean our fans could no longer go under the scoreboard (you would HAVE to shut off at least block 14 for security, as well as 17, which would upset a few of the season ticket holders in 17) and I could potentially see even more trouble with fans in there than when it was how it was a few years ago.
Because the Ricoh is an all purpose arena, there is no segregation wall like Highfield Road had, so security is not as good and we can't have it our way with regards to where the fans sit. It's not viable putting them in other areas. 33/34 can't happen because it boxes them into the back corner of the arena, and last time we split the south stand we were kicked out in the end after security problems and it was all a big farce. They changed the blocks from anyone being able to sit there to just season ticket holders, then season ticket holders were told to find other seats for certain games and then we were kicked out for good. It just not worth the hassle.
With no proper segregation it can't be any other way because of health and safety blah blah blah. It annoys me but I suppose we just have to live with it. Plus, at the moment, the scoreboard is one of our noisiest areas.
