Inspector Lestrade Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Without the freedom of movement I really can't see the point of it. Will be very sterile and the novelty will soon wear off. You will be confind to a certain spot this will stop you from been part of a mass. It will be regimented so ultimately a dead duck. No surges no swaying. It' will be standing lite nothing like it was before. If there is a demand for it then fair enough., but long term think most will return to their seats.

daleblue Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 (edited) What about putting it in the segment where they put the SKY pundits, they could build a barrier between them and away fans, knock some outlets into the south stand for exit, jobs a goodan . PS then it's SKY'S problem where they Commentate from. Edited May 24, 2018 by daleblue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiggy Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Leppings Lane lower. Least likely option for obvious reasons, but think about it. Doesn’t disturb and season ticket holders, populated a part of the ground that is rarely used. Makes sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So when and if it’s passed you think there’ll be one legislation for Hillsborough and another for every other club in the country? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it's total gonads mate. Why is it safe for 20 odd k rugby fans to stand? What would happen if you had a situation similar to Hillsborough where a few thousand get in at the same time? End of the day it all stems from the pens which are now obsolete The fences which are now obsolete And over crowding, so sell less tickets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crookesowl Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 What’s the benefit though? Seems like you still allocate a seat that you can stand up in front of, so how many more tickets can you sell? Open standing but with better Safety should be where it’s at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because when they score a try they all shout hurrah chaps and shake each others hands. Not quite the same as jumping 3 foot in the air, scraming your lungs till you are dizzy and ending up four rows in front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it would have to be at the back of the kop Exactly, you couldn't have front of kop cos back of kop would have to stand elegaly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but no club would be under any obligation to install safe standing areas either, and as much as things have moved on, Hillsborough will unfortunately always be tainted. I'm all for standing but could you imagine the reaction if we saw just one incident following the removal of seats? It wouldn't take much for this club to be dragged through the mud again.

Spuddy01 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Lower lepp would be the perfect place. Doesn’t affect ST holders, doesn’t obstruct anyone behind and would look good on tv. Never happen there though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would look great with health & safety that would be most of the kop these days ……...wherever they put it they aint going to pack em in like sardines like back in the day …..if people want to stand then fine but the days of atmospheric jammed swaying terraces are long gone .
