    All clubs need are cctv cameras covering the whole crowd, so that any offenders can be identified, fined heavily and banned from all football grounds. Sufficient stewards around the ground would be able to identify chanters.

    If anything kills the move to standing areas it'll be this imo.

    I believe so mate but I think people will still moved around, could be wrong.

    I just don't think the authorities want them and they'll be looking for excuses.

    Your correct, rail seating is the preferred method. I believe we are hoping to get approval for the South stand to have it

    I can't believe we are in 2024 and this still happens. I've never understood racism and never will.

    Other countries are decades behind the UK, despite what some would have you believe.

    Doesn't make what is happening in the UK ok though. It's like the mags when they start their whataboutery arguments to deflect away from their own misgivings about Saudi ownership

    "Racism" ie ingroup/outgroup dynamics are growing in the UK (and most places), "in this day and age" comments stink of boomer lib dem voters tbh.

    You can't have your cake and eat it, if we are to see colour, then we're going to fvcking see it.

    I agree. Too many people are happy to treat the vast majority of the country as racist to suit their political opinions though.

    Compare with Saudi, or India, or Japan, or most of the rest of the world frankly.
