Agree and why I have been banging on about Safe Standing for over 10 years since I first brought the roadshow to the Portland Pub in Alvaston and also for Derby County officials. 
We have to think about the costs involved and where we are as a club. Safe Standing is permitted, that is no problem, just more the logistics for a club in our situation..

I’d imagine this would be the most likely course of action in the event of standing areas being given the green light. 
My point is - given that (an ever increasing) demand for standing room already outweighs the capacity of the south stand, any conversion to safe standing limited to the south stand/away end would be insufficient. Many grounds in Germany at our level offer around 50% standing room (at a rough estimate) and I suspect demand would be similar over here, hence why extending it further into the east stand would be a good idea for the long term.
I appreciate many people would prefer to stand at the football (myself included) but also appreciate those who want to sit in their designated seat mustn’t be made to suffer at that expense. 

Until safe standing areas are properly legislated for, I can’t see this issue being resolved easily.

In my personal option this would first be the South Stand. Then probably the upper tier of the current away end so away fans have the choice of sitting or stanading.
Then perhaps two upper tier blocks of the East Stand. I dont think anymore would be needed.

In terms of DCFC, no update as yet. I am pushing constantly though and its on the radar.
Just to add though, its not a standing terrace and the ratio will still we be 1:1. In fact like it is now but with a rail seat.

I agree. Good post.

It really isnt allowed under the stadium rules B4. South stand is a seated area. There is no agreement otherwise. As someone just mentioned there were some terrible tragedies that led to all seater stadiums. However, its always been known that fans stand in south stand since the allocations switched around. Same for back rows of other stands. A blind eye is turned. I and most others have no issue with that and get that many want to stand BUT standing in other areas selfishly spoiling the experience for others who have sat there for years and pay good money to do so is just going to lead to a backlash about standing generally. The wide discussion of it will also draw it to the attention of the authorities and as we know they like us to be made an example of.

Happy New Year..
This has been discussed for a while. Those that have done all or even some of the away games this year should be able to relate to this. The atmosphere has not been good enough for the numbers that we taking. Bolton was the tipping block and there are many reasons behind it.
So for every away game with the club's backing we are going back to the dedicated singing block. Not the best terminology but the only wording that can officially be used. This was a great success around the 2017 era.
This is simply a block for those fans that are like minded and want to improve the atmosphere. Its not a block where the singing will only be (obviously) but important that point is made clear. Its also not a block where the only standing will be. 
Don't read too much into it. The cringe comments will come, no doubt, but this is needed after a good evaluation this season. Like minded fans cannot get together due to the membership scheme. By the club facilitating this it means that fans who wish to be vocal all game can be together with like minded fans as they will know where to buy their tickets. Likewise, if you don't want to be part of that and just watch the game (like many do) it also gives you the opportunity to be away from this section.
The drum at away games where allowed will also be returning. Not everyone's cup of tea, I know, but let's be honest you can't please everyone in 2023 and is actually a massive help with tempo and volume in the stands. End of the day its about backing the lads vocally and giving them that extra % which is sometimes needed in a game.
This is already available for the next away game which is Port Vale. A good 4k going as well. Details on the block are on the dcfc website.
Club84 will be the catalysts behind this. Give them your backing. They have been great at displays over the last couple of years and improving the atmosphere away, and at home.
