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.

Just ridiculous
And a shame

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.

Bloody Stupid

If I can stand at footy as I do always and have always anyone can do it safe

 

[Newland Tiger]

Stupid decision , it's obviously safer to stand in an area actually designed for it rather than the situation we have now

You don't go to the cinema or the theatre and stand up for two hours.

 

[BrAdY]

We already sit enough
Standing for 2 hours is healthy

It's all part of their plan

What about anyctime?

 

[Kempton]

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

You don't sing and chant there either.

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

I think there should be the options of both. But vested interests will prevent it.

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.

If I’m in front of you then let’s swap seats (no biting though)

Aw go on, just a nibble

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.
