Football league clubs consulted on standing.

Is the ban on standing part of the reason we redid the Lorne Street at great cost and have been on a downward spiral ever since?

Never really done the standing thing... after a couple of seasons in the bycars I bought a season ticket in the railway stand... now Im too damaged to stand for more than 30 minutes.

The German game is geared up for the fans not the investors,

 

We can but dream....

I wonder how much it would cost to convert the two centre blocks at the back of the Bycars in to 'safe standing' zones? Clubs are talking about trailing it in specific areas of the ground and to me this would be the ideal location. Maybe something the supports club could get involved in and help to find raise. I would certainly get a ticket for there.

I'd be delighted if safe standing was introduced. It would stop all the arguments that result from folk standing in seating areas.

Bring it on.

 

Could prove expensive for some clubs to make alterations due to the rake of the stand and regulations.Maybe the regulations on step sizes could be changed IF this is the case.

 

Have 'Elf and Safety' been involved in these talks? :nailbiting:

Standing will set the game back to the bad days of the 1970's and the yobo culture that used to frequent games - "you'll never take the Boothan" and all that. It put off women attending and made it difficult to take children who could not see and could not be kept safe. Now I know that Port Vale is possibly a ground where attendances could be manageable, but people who have been in big and full stadiums when standing will know that safety was a good deal worse than is the case now with seating in more modern arenas.
