E-Mail 'Safe Standing' To A Friend

• shed lower and MHL going safe standing would help sort out 2 problems .. 1. capacity
  2. younger fans being encouraged back into SB and stop the ageing of our home support

• It would also mean the friends can stand together improving the atmosphere

• These are urgently needed. No one sits especially at away matches. This current situation is a lethal disaster waiting to happen. With all standing — we have PASSION FFS — WE WILL NEVER SIT DOWN, one day there is going to be a bad fall, cascading down the terraces, that will result in many injuries.

• Safe standing is a great idea for sections of the ground. It means that where standing occurs as a matter of course, it can be managed safely.

  BUT, it is not standing on the terraces of old. Everyone will have a preassigned space to stand in. There is unlikely to be much of an increase in capacity if any. Prices will not fall.

  It means that people will stand in a space which is designed for standing, rather than standing is seats which are not designed for standing.

  It is a great idea and to be supported but the two arguments put forward as positives of safe standing simply won’t apply.

• Not fully aware of the details but will this be akin to the old WS benches in that you have a ticket for the safe standing area rather than a designated ‘seat’.
  If this is the case then lets trail it.

• Have a look here rather than speculating.
