Going back years i've always said, that is exactly why Hillsborough should be the first place to do safe standing. Go straight to the heart of the problem and give the dissenters nowhere to go. Not that I agree Hillsborough was the heart of the problem, it was a symptom of the times amongst other things.

If you are old enough to have been to away grounds before 1989, you probably experienced this several times at least (certainly did following Wednesday up and down the country, worst probably being Maine Road 1983/4 season). The truth is whilst it happened at Hillsborough it could have happened anywhere. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANDY Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 They haven’t strengthened that corner so I’m afraid a lick of paint and a big tarpaulin is just about all we’re gonna see in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belfast Owl 2 Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Surely a good section of that corner has an awful view. Unless you want to look at the side of the North Stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buxtongent Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 It used to be standing just after the North was built., That's why the North 's west wall is so designed. Before the building of the Cantilever, it was part of the covering of the Lepp Corner, and a popular viewing point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyingOwl Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Man United have introduced their safe standing section this season. Unfortunately current legislation means they have signs all over the place saying no standing allowed and have told their stewards to try and enforce everyone remaining seated. Theyre hoping that they get the licence soon to allow their supporters to stand in said section, but for the time being they’ve got a standing section that everyone has to sit in. And because of the barriers it drastically affects the leg room 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
