Hi everyone. I am currently doing a university project to design safe standing for football grounds. As part of this I need to find out how popular safe standing would be and what people associate with it. I have created a short survey which I was hoping you could all fill out to help me. (8 multiple choice questions) https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Safe_standing Before you start the survey I would like to apologise as I have messed up a bit on question 7 and 8, they are supposed to be multiple choice but it only allows one answer. For question 7 if you would have chosen multiple answers please tick "other" and type in the numbers of the answers you would have chosen. for number 8 please choose where you would most like to see a safe standing section. Thank you William Tuck
I like to sit,because standing gives me backache. I'm going to start a campaign called 'Armchair stands for all'. We all want the kc expanding,so i reckon if we make it a 70'000er, there'd be ample space for the " Armchair stand". Kempton Klutz.... ideas are easy
Good idea, Also, how about filling one stand full of water to make a swimming pool stand? People could take a swim whilst watching City and there’d be no queues for the bogs. We could also put some seats under the pitch too, if we replaced the grass with some sort of green glass which is see through.
That was for segregation barriers, which apparently need to strong enough to stop a stampeding elephant, the problem we have with safe standing is the exits being too narrow for the capacity to increase.
Surely if safe standing was approved in the future, finding a way to widen the exits would be a cheaper option to increase the capacity of the stadium, rather than increase the size?
Okay, thanks; but if the exits were widened, would we not then need some new form of segregation between the marauding hordes?
The bloke from the council thinks widening the exits woukd be so expensive, that it wouldn't make commercial sense to introduce safe standing at the KC.
Sorry, a tad O/T - Have you considered putting a FAQ section on your website that could cover this type of issues and others more specific to the Trust? Time could turn it into a decent reference point, bringing the Trust more into the mainstream of acceptance. Just a thought.
