We just stand in-between the rows of normal seats now, home & away, so what's the big deal? Just proves how totally out of touch the authorities are. It already happens! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torres Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 I’ve not sat at an away game EVER!! Which is more dangerous than normal terracing. The thing is they just dare not bring it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlando City built their new home ground with a home end terrace and it's beautiful! Really ? Second picture isnt Orlando? I thought it was crap, every position has a purple cup holder and two male cheerleaders organise which songs come next. Even my 14 yr old thought it was tacky. And as for safe ! Maybe not every time they jumped up and down the bolts fell out. See second picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owls maniac Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 When people argue against safe standing by saying “why would we want to go back to how it was?” are completely missing the point. Safe standing and stadiums in general are nothing like what they were in 1989. The great irony of the Hillsborough campaign is that their obstinence on this issue is increasing the risk of a serious accident happening soon in an away end with people standing behind seats with no rail.

I'm an Essex Owl Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 I fear that no Government will sanction safe standing. Its a bonkers decision and clearly in modern stadiums safe standing is much safer than the present arrangements. Of course there is an alternative in that clubs may now come under pressure to enforce sitting (using CCTV or similar to ban offenders) Pretty difficult for away fans I accept but there are ways this can be done. Authoritarian and nanny state = no fun at the football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 3 year rule was allowed to give clubs time to make the necessary stadium changes. Brentford have passed 3 years and were given an exemption.

Lomas613 Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 (edited) Ermmmm do West Brom sell out their ground?? Can’t see much point unless for example the ground holds 20k (I know it doesn’t) and week in week out they sell out and still have thousands more wanting tickets??? But if they don’t sell out the ground anyway what’s the point ??? Edited April 9, 2018 by Lomas613 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doghouse Daz Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 So the campaign continues, not be long before we reach a turning point. There is already a cross party group of MPs campaigning for safe standing at Carrow Road. It's becoming political now. We'll have it at Hillsborough within 5 years.

I'm an Essex Owl Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 I don't see the problem with safe standing. Its not as if fans would turn up late or drunk, without tickets and try to force their way in. Even if that did ever happen (which clearly we all know it did not ) ,there is proper CCTV and safety stewards and better policing these days. Politicians - authoritarian to the last...
