Safe Standing Areas

Wonder if this is something the club would do

Hope so mate I like to stand while I’m watching the game like.

 

They have to, surely

 

I'd imagine they will do it at some point. Doubt they will be enough time for this season though. They could do a couple of the blocks in the North stand that are harder to shift.

 

I stood at Morecambe a few seasons back and it was knackering

 

I bet I’m only 42 tho and want to stand as long as I can haha

 

Then again I suspect that, unlike me, you don't have a bad back, two hip and one knee replacements and stand at about Five foot Seven inches. (In days of old, when I was Five Foot eight inches, the person in front was always Six foot Six Inches!!!!)

No objection for those who want it, as long as it's not the only option available.

 

Prefer to sit due to a back issue, but wouldn't be against standing if I had something to lean against.

Think it's a no-brainer for the club to install rail seating in the Roker End

 

Aye its not for me as I go with my dad but would be perfect for the South Stand.

 

Haven't seen anything about the allowable ratio of fans standing per seat. Have seen 1:1, 2:1 and even 3:1 in use abroad.

If they can get 2 standing per seat that would be great for clubs, increasing attendance and revenues. Imagine rail seats at away games doubling the availability of tickets!

For all these reasons I bet only 1:1 is allowed
