The way I look at it is this ,at PP if I want to sit I go in the East,West or North stands .If I get a ticket for the South stand I expect to have to stand .When I go away I also expect to stand as the majority do  as  do most  of the visiting fans to PP . 

I personally have no problem with this and I guess the answer is if you don't like the status quo then don't go.

sorry but that sounds like 'I'm going to stand and I don't give a ... what you think, move somewhere else or don't bother coming if you don't like it'.

Absolutely not it means I will fit in with the majority.

Surely the clue is in the ticket - it's called a seated area for a reason. I get that there are limited standing areas in modern stadia but that's what is says on the ticket, that is the condition of purchase, that is what is being asked of you- no matter on your own personal view of what might be fun.

Then, when safe standing does come along, I look forward to the discussion on here 'I decided to sit on the terraces, it was spoiling my fun to stand, why couldn't everyone else sit down as well, why should I stand in a standing area when it was obviously more fun to sit down'.

My seat is in the stand though ?!?!

and how do you assess the majority, sounds like a number of people stand because they have to otherwise they wouldn't get a view

See Davids post above he puts it better than I can [it's his job]

I sit in the south stand because this was meant to be where we create the atmosphere. You know if you get a ticket in that area you'll be standing if you are unhappy with standing then you need to move to another stand.

I love Status Quo, why do people always bash them?

I'd agree that at Pride Park if you want to sit it would be silly to get a ticket in the south stand.

However, at away matches you have no idea where you are going to be sat and who will be in front or behind you. 

Suggesting fans should not go to away matches if they want to sit is quite frankly ludicrous.

But we have done this for years 

If been enough games you know going to stand up.

I see a lot kids enjoy standing and joining in with rest of us.

Soo because you can’t but standing tickets people shouldn’t be able to enjoy theselfs in which ever manner they choose? 

No. Quite simply it is the Law!

I personally have no problem with people standing but to say

Is frankly ridiculous. Do you break the law in public in other areas of your life? I enjoy a cigar but its not allowed in the ground but **** it I will light up anyway cos no one is going to stop me enjoying myself. Your argument has no basis at all!

this is all about consideration of others.  Nobody should go to the south stand and expect everybody to sit down because they want to.  Nobody should deliberately decide to block somebody elses view just because it suits them.  It is a form bullying in that it is a challenge to those inconvenienced by a selfish act to say/do something.  I think this is mainly an way day issue given that everybody appears to know how to behave like an adult at PP (booing omitted!)

Did you know cannabis is actually illegal in Holland? It's just people don't care.

‘Nobody may stand in any seating area whilst play is in progress. Persistent standing in seated areas whilst play is in progress is strictly forbidden and may result in ejection from the ground’.

That's exactly what the notice at Rotherham said.

The word 'may' is key - roughly translated if means 'if we can be arsed....'

It’s the same as the age old “Crowdsurfing is prohibited and you may be ejected from the venue” at gigs.

Where as there is no such rule in the Post Office, although I would strongly advise against crowd surfing the pension queue

So standing up at a football match is comparable to such acts ?

Nope but the attitude of 'we always do it so it is ok' is very comparable.
