Jayweb95 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Don't know whether or not this is in the right thread... But who agrees with it and disagrees with it? Personally I think it's a win win... Boosts attendance and gives fans more of a option on seating.. Personally think South stand upper would be great with safe standing as everyone stands now I guess you could say unsafely. Admin poll? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ketteringram Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Can't imagine it would increase capacity much. You'd just be standing where you stand now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davenportram Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Can't imagine it would increase capacity much. You'd just be standing where you stand now. You get 3 standing in the space where 2 sit now. So a 50% increase in capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Can't imagine it would increase capacity much. You'd just be standing where you stand now. you get more seats in to perch on from the clip i saw, would be good in the south stand full stop and I think it would defo work given the success and fact its sold out already (although in my opinion they should put the price up there so all of the people that are there for the price move out, and the people that are there for the atmosphere will staY) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boycie Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Like already said, the south stand upper all stand anyway, so what's the argument against? The argument for must be bigger crowds, and more income. No brainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philmycock Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 It would be safer than standing with seats/codgers in front of you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyinLiverpool Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 You get 3 standing in the space where 2 sit now. So a 50% increase in capacity. There isn't a need to increase capacity. How many games are sell outs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Works, proven in Germany, no brainer really if there is enough of a demand from the fan base. Don't vote Tory or UKIP then, whatever you do. They would like football fans to wear manacles when at the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayweb95 Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 I've been thinking about it.. Would you actually be able to sit and have a view if the person in front or you is standing? Not that I would sit anyway.. But maybe that's a problem with approving it in England, wouldn't you only be able to have both options if both were effective?

The rail seats are locked for seating or for standing. Cant mix it. UEFA don't allow standing. So they are locked as seats Euro games. The bundesleague allow standing so they ate locked for standing.

mike93rh Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 There really needs to be a rational debate on this issue, without the influence of politics and other emotive factors that have gone on in the past (you all know what I'm referring to). Yes I know it ultimately will require legislation but this should be brought about by the fans and football clubs, not political ideology. Times have changed and technologies have changed, but people's willingness to stand at a game, for those who enjoy it, hasn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 If we can add 3000 to the south stand and 1000 to the away corner by having safe standing, that will look after out capacity needs and bring in an extra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouRams Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Seats are dangerous, had countless shin injuries celebrating goals due to seats, safe standing for the win! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 You get 3 standing in the space where 2 sit now. So a 50% increase in capacity. Wow, the 2 seats are hardly spacious now. Fit 3 in and I bet you wouldn't all be able to sit if you wanted to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davenportram Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Wow, the 2 seats are hardly spacious now. Fit 3 in and I bet you wouldn't all be able to sit if you wanted to. They would still only have two seats in the space. So for all seater matches they only sell two tickets. But for standing matches they sell three tickets for that space.

When a goal goes in and everyone remains standing for a couple of minutes to watch the replay there doesn't feel like much extra room.Also, when sitting down my shoulders pretty much touch the bloke's next to me. How would standing make that any different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLACML Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 The Bundesliga has proved that it works. It's pretty ridiculous that it hasn't been introduced to be honest. There is no real argument against it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
