http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/43701400 They will continue to monitor things. FFS more stand up behind the goal at Dortmund than either the Hawthorns,or the KCOM, holds but 3,500 could be a problem. Saves one argument though. The plan was for standing at the top of the stand and seats in tbe lower part. No doubt Bab's members would complain about that and say they want to sit at the top.
How could anyone expect to be treated like a responsible adult, capable of standing harmlessly at a soccer ground for an hour-and-a-half? Don't you know police incompetency killed some people three decades ago? ****ing racists. Vote Tory. Or Labour. I don't really know, I don't follow politics but the government wouldn't lie.
They don't seem to realise that safe standing is a different proposition to the old swaying terraces of years ago. I remember a high up copper saying it would be a return to the bad old days of surges and people running across to concront other fans. Surge? There is a chest high railing in front of everyone. Run across? Push past people very slowly in a single file. Each space is numbered, just like seats, andvrveryone is easily traceable. Even if some safe standing came in it would only be for small numbers and nothing like what is seen in Germany.
Stupid decision , it's obviously safer to stand in an area actually designed for it rather than the situation we have now
I like to sit at games, I even used to pay an extra quid at BP to sit in South stand upper. So bite me
I like to stand I do stand If I’m forced to sit then that would be the end for me I’m happy for you to sit though...as long as I don’t have to bite you!
I'm far from lazy. I just find the whole stand if you're a proper fan bemusing. Standing still for too long hurts my lower back. I guess I'm a standing ****er as well as a bus ****er
If people stand in front of me I stand without a problem. I can see why people get pissed off when they're told to sit.
Far be it for me to question a man's right to sit at a football match, or stand, or indeed hover if one has that capability but your above reason is one of the most pathetic things I've ever read on the internet, Kemps. That's pathetic in the blind, quadriplegic kitten trying desperately to lap from a saucer of milk that's just out of reach sense rather than the man flu victim bemoaning the worst illness ever experienced by a humanoid sense. I'm talking genuine pathos here.
