Sitting.
Standings not allowed at a football match. I'm no Peter.

I'm bored of this standing/sitting argument.
If I'm in front of someone who for whatever reason won't be able to see the game, I'll sit.
It really is that simple.

I hope everyone behind the goal stands up like every other team that plays there.
Doubt it though!!
Standing in 112.
If no one else does i will sneak off into a section were others are also standing as usual.

I was at Derby away in the semi in the upper. Some woman wanted to sit and tried to make everybody in front of her sit down (she was a good fifteen rows back) but was promptly ignored or told to shut up by them in front of her. It made for a better atmosphere people standing.
It's a **** atmosphere when you can't see the game mate.
Don't get me wrong. Everyone being fit and able, standing is the way.
Safe standing. It's the way forward.
It never seemed to be an issue years ago though when everyone stood. As a child I regularly used to stand on seats at away games to see past the people in front. It was never a problem. I never considered the idea that others should sit down. It just didn't cross your mind.
That's fair enough, bit its like Castro always says; there's nowhere near as many infirm people watching football as the number forcing everyone else to sit down for them. It's now commonplace at away games to be expected to sit down by 'Hull' fans who've been going since 2008. It it was only the handful who are unable to stand, there'd hardly ever be a problem.
Our support is old age pensioners mums and dads and plastics it's such a diassapointment. They'll be sitting !!!
It should be better for you next season when the old age pensioners can't afford to go. They won't be able to take their grandchildren either. It's gonna be just the 'LADS' making a massive noise and the atmosphere will be awesome dude...
ffs

Loads of pensioners can afford it. As I've said before pensioner with a company pension as well as their state pension and with no mortgage have more disposable than people with kids and a mortgage or rent and even single ones on minimum wage or low wages. My lad have to do 60 hours a week after stoppages to have after tax what I have. And he has rent to find out of that. Ever noticed all the pensioners taking foreign holidays?
There won't be that many in terms of numbers paying for their grandkids anyway.
Finally, why will the absence of OAPS mean that the present lot of sit down brigade will be making noise to compensate for even more of "the lads" being absent? Promotion will only mean more of the spectators as opposed to supporters there only to see the other teams and their supporters.
I, as always, want City to win, but think we will be no better off in so many ways if we do.
