You Do The Dziekanowski Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 good luck with it ... im all for safe standing... problem is it cant be used for football (yet)...... good news for the rugger fans at least It'll be just like the EE now, The club will turn a blind eye to standing in these areas Yes it won't legally be available for use but it'll be the same as it is now with fans standing all game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Standing occurs at all grounds around the country, but that would be a whole new can of worms As Nailsea Cookie stated, it's only going to benefit the rugby fans in the short term, just makes our stadium more adept for cross sports being played on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The seats still leave room to stand even when they are down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin phantom Posted February 10, 2014 Admin Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 Lots of football stadiums have standing areas which are used for standing, you don't have too far to go to experience it in Bristol... Not sure what you mean ? But are they actually "advertised / sold" as a standing area? Or just accepted (like in the EE) that this is what will happen ?

Red Ferret Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 So we are going to have a block of safe standing in the Atyeo Stand Block A Does anyone think that our fans will be allowed to actually use this block for the rest of the season for the FA to assess if Safe Standing works safely in English football? Or is this purely for a non-matchday demonstration? I guess we will know more on Wednesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
