Halt the Away Fans Section Trial for April Games at Stone X and Welford Road Stadiums


Halt the Away Fans Section Trial for April Games at Stone X and Welford Road Stadiums
The Issue
The upcoming trial to allocate separate sections for away fans during the rugby matches between Saracens and Gloucester at the Stone X stadium and Leicester against Harlequins at Welford Road in April is drawing criticism. Stakeholders are responding with concern about the possible erosion of the shared spirit and camaraderie that characterizes rugby culture, suggesting that it may create an atmosphere of divisiveness. Currently, an estimated 96% of sports fans strongly believe that all-fan seating fosters greater solidarity and shared respect among spectators (National Sports Fans Survey, 2020). It's essential to retain this valuable aspect of the sport, which positions rugby as a beacon of camaraderie and respect worldwide. Therefore, we are calling on the relevant bodies to reconsider and halt this trial immediately, in favor of our beloved rugby culture. Add your voice to this cause, sign the petition now.
