wawawuto Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Fair play to Luton for bringing good numbers however I often look at away fans at Hillsborough and think, why do they sit down? Why travel 4 hours on a coach sat down, to then sit down for 90 minutes of football, to then get back on the coach for another 4 hours sat on the coach? When teams like Luton, Norwich, Blackburn and Rotherham come and 3/4 of their fans are sat down, I'm always thankful that we (like Villa, Leeds etc) are one of the clubs where every single fan is stood up at away games. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S36 OWL Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 When they have paid so much for a seat , they probably want to gets their monies worth. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eaton_Swfc Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Is was in T1 on the North today though and was staggered as everyone around me sat down as we kicked off. Last time I 'sit' there. Used to be where the cool kids stood, now you have to sit down in your stone island gear!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddy Repperton Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Maybe that's what the seating is for?? 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mountain Owl Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 It should be a rule that all away fans stand up to drive home the fact we want Safe Standing. Away fans are the most passionate of every clubs fans how better to make the point to the muppets at the FA/EFL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buxtongent Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Sorry, but isn't Hillsborough supposed to be an 'All-Seater' Stadium. Should we be grumbling that people are not breaking the law, or even ground regulations? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gandiaowl Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 If there was standing areas in grounds then that’s ok. However, where there is seating it is not. Consider lRge people standing in front of people who are shorter or kids who cannot see the game. I was at Stoke a few years ago And thought a seat was appropriate as I was on crutches at the time. I saw very little of the game as everyone stood up for 90 minutes. I could only stand for a couple of minutes at a time and most of the kids and many of the Wednesday fans could not see either. Please don’t say “don’t go to away matches then”. When there is only seating only at a match it is expected that people will sit on them and not stand and block the view of people around them.

Miffed Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 The only time that you should sit down at an away game is during half time, to have a rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FULLY AGREE, gandiaowl. The play-off final was completely spoiled for me. I have much difficulty in standing any length of time because of arthritis in the knees, possibly due to standing watching Wednesday for the first 50 of my 70 years of being a Wednesdayite. I therefore paid a high price to obtain a seat on Row 4, thinking I would be able to stay seated and jump up when we scored. Behind me were two old ladies, and behind them a youngster. Because the front two rows contained W'ites who spent most of the match on their feet, we had to keep standing and sitting as so saw little of the game. So a game was spoiled completely by people being selfish. This is why I agree with the 'Standing only' areas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
