    We are one of the clubs interested in introducing the above in the future..

    Would you approve and use the standing area?

    A bit too old for it all with my back..... but designated areas yes.... and split the away tickets so those who want to sit can sit and still see

    An easy start for us would just be making the 1881 area safe-standing. If that works well, maybe the other end of the Rookery too. This shouldn't cause too much issue with the people wanting to sit in the middle of these 2 areas, as shouldn't be standing in the way! The hope also is if we have both ends singing, it will help feed through the rest of the stand, rather than from just one corner

    As for away games - maybe allocate the back 3/4 rows of the away area as safe-standing - many of them tend to stand during games anyway!

    I mostly go to away games and rarely get to sit. So some formal allocation would really help..

    I think it would work as i would book sitting as close to the standing 1881 to sing with them
