Why do clubs allow all this standing? What happens if somebody wants to go to an away match who cannot stand for that long? 

They need to get tickets on the front row or two (with a rubbish view of the game.)

The reason they allow is because stewards just get a loads of abuse there was one swerbury steward tried get this lad to sit down all he got was abuse and another one came up and said just leave them they wont do it just make life easier for them all.

They should design away stands with much lower roofs, so you cant see the ball from above chest height... or the players faces... or the far touchline... unless you sit down.

Oh... and some pillars too, just for the crack.

...Oh... again... And make them leave their shoes at the entrance, like they do with Bouncy Castles.

That'd learn 'em!

Issuing stewards with tasers would also work?

For most away games this season it seems supporters will mostly have a choice, seated or standing. @B4ev6is, if you wish to stand, go in the terraces. If you wish to sit with the folk that want to sit down, go in the seats. It would be rather ignorant to stand in the seats if given a choice. If not, again, be courteous and gauge the vibe around you. If you're sat say middle onwards to the front, sit down for those who can't stand.

At Fleetwood, I wished to sit down so went in the seats with everyone else seated. At Morecambe I'm standing as going with work colleagues who are rowdy chaps.

Have they twinned it with the Rose West Stand at Southend? 

 

Stacey-West Stand

This was the traditional home-end up until 2013 but now takes visiting fans who bring large numbers of supporters. Built in 1990, the Stacey-West Stand is named after two lifelong supporters - Bill Stacey and Jim West - who died in the Bradford City stadium fire. It replaced the old Railway End terrace in 1990, which had a goods rail line running behind the enclosure until the line was demolished in the early 1990s. The Stacey-West Stand first had areas of terracing at either end with a large area of seating in between so that supporters had the choice of sitting or standing at games. However, when City were promoted to the old Division Two at the end of the 1997–98 season, the stand was made entirely terraced. This was because a number of large clubs then in Division Two, such as Manchester City, Stoke City and Burnley were expected to bring large travelling support to the ground. This convinced the club that the Stacey-West stand should hold visiting fans, rather than a portion of the Co-op Stand. However, when the club was relegated back to the old Division Three in May 1999, a grant by the Football Trust partially enabled just under 2,000 seats to replace the Stacey-West Stand terracing which meant that, for the first time in the history of Lincoln City, it was an all-seater stadium. The stand continued to house visiting supporters until it was given back to home fans in the 2002 close-season. But at the start of 2013/14 season it was announced that the stand would no longer be housing home supporters but only used as an away-end for large quantities of supporters. As of 2016 the stand is used for home fans on certain games.
