We had stewards checking tickets as people were going up the steps during Morecambe game so presumably some concern about people switching seats from other areas. Didn't see any attempts to stop standing but the situation there has been pretty consistent for some time now - J Block stand throughout (Upper & Lower) whilst people in other East Stand blocks nearby only stand if they have seats on the top row. I haven't seen people randomly standing in any other blocks to the right of J Block at any stage this season. There was also an email from the club (don't know whether everyone got this or just those of us located in that area) warning of extra checks & measures aiming at targeting anti-social behaviour. Fair to say it went down pretty badly given the abusive songs J Block were singing throughout the Morecambe game & the stewards seemed to back off from being as visible on Tuesday. Clearly some enthusiasm on here to strictly police standers but if the reason for this is a complaint received by someone not usually in that area, it seems heavy-handed. If you want to sit, there are plenty of areas in the stadium to do so - this isn't comparable with the away game situation (which penalises anyone wanting to sit down). It also seems hypocritical when standing is implicitly permitted in the away end & the South Stand. Longer term, I feel the club could do with exploring a safe standing solution - it’s clearly popular with certain fans so seems logical to get that area established asap & reduce the tension between standing v sitting. I sit in the block next to this (still all sitting). Have noticed over time that this block has become more of a standing area, but suspect that is because of the actions of some (a few) people not sitting and there being a domino effect where if you want to see you have to stand. Prior to Morecambe there was the infamous email which only referred to anti-social behaviour without being specific (which probably wasn’t helpful - if it was about standing why didn’t they just say so?). In terms of checking tickets somebody told me they were doing it because people are apparently buying tickets elsewhere and moving to this area to stand and (apparently) causing trouble (not seen that myself). Don’t know how true any of that it. All seems a bit odd. The club could have done a better job explaining the issues in their email.

Amberram Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 We can’t have the safe singing section in the West stand as there maybe a lot of false teeth flying around. Steve How Hard?, angieram and jimtastic56 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boycie Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 If anyone stands up anywhere in the ground apart from the south stand they’re inconsiderate barstwards and the nearest steward should be informed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
