TheEnchanter Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 That's funny cos most of the people sat around me make plenty of noise. You still haven't explained to me how standing up makes for a better atmosphere I'm afraid. If you don't think it does then that's fine... but the funny thing is it does. Accept it or don't. Every away game is evidence for it, people sing more when they're stood up. People are more interested in engaging in the songs and bouncing. It creates more atmosphere. Celtic have got a safe standing zone now... wth the aim of improving the atmosphere. https://www.theguardian.com/football/copa90/2015/oct/09/safe-standing-bundesliga-fans-premier-league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain jack Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 If you wanna sit down and watch the game at an all seater stadium you should be able too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wath-owl Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 well done Cheers. I could go one further and point out that the two of you use a very similar punctuation style too. You're just clearly really in sync with one another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 That's where youre argument falls down......some football fans like to stand, the majority probably aren't bothered either way and some can't or don't want to stand. Personally for £98 and having been up all Friday night, I wanted to sit and being just behind the disabled section I was able to do so without issue....nothing to do with it being my first game of the season or not wanting an atmosphere, just exercising my right to choose. There's also a massive hypocrisy going on with those waxing lyrical about us taking 45,000 and Hull not showing up and simultaneously telling those who want to sit down (and reasoning that must because they don't normally attend) to "stay at home" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owls24 Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 They won't have designated seating or standing area's because you're supposed to be sat down, that's the whole idea of having a seat there.Think snooker might be more your sport pal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said in this thread already that safe standing areas should be implemented in football grounds. This would solve the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEnchanter Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 maybe you should support Celtic...........they might like you This is why the atmosphere will generally be poor because any genuine attempt to improve it is met with people who come up with these sorts of responses.

After all theyre not interested in watching the game, just bouncing and shouting Flying Owl posted that she cant see past the others yet goes away.........maybe we could save her some money and let her bounce and shout in our "zone2 when they are away......saves on transport and is greener Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 An alternative to the "you should go and watch snooker if you want to sit" thought is that "you should go and watch Rugby if you want to stand" Professional football in the higher tiers has been designated as a seated spectator area by the authorities......if you want to watch football and stand then nip down to your local park on a Sunday morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaping Lannys Perm Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Have you considered that the people who are complaining might just go to away games but have to stand up because everyone else is? Don't assume like the other bloke orlando Why have they never posted about it then? This had never been an issue before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
