Cardy Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 Just noticed on their ground guide that they are one of the very few clubs to have an approved safe standing area. Are there other British clubs out there or are they unique - atleast in terms of teams that we have played? On a different note - is it sit where you like in the Away end on a Tuesday night - what’s the protocol these days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only ever half fill it and nobody is in any danger..! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 @Blagdon red is often a good source for this. I believe that this is part of a pilot scheme of some description, testing feasibility etc. It had crowd funding of some sort and if successful it could bode well for safe standing. Happy to be corrected! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SC&T Board Members Blagdon red Posted January 13, 2020 SC&T Board Members Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 Yep, Shrewsbury are currently the only club in England or Wales to have a safe standing area fitted with rail seats. Spurs and Wolves have fitted rail seats, but are not allowed to formally operate those areas as standing, as their grounds are governed by the all-seater policy (of course, everyone in those areas stands anyway). Shrewsbury are not covered by the all-seater policy, so were able to fit rail seats AND operate that area as a formal standing area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy to be corrected! I see Shrewsbury have sold approx 4800 tickets & us approx 1300.... This is going to remind me of Cambridge Utd all those years ago. Hopefully with a better result!!

Difficult conditions are a great leveller though, wind, rain, heavy pitch etc -so hopefully we'll have half a chance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember being so gutted, we beat Chelsea 3-1 (what a game), draw with Cambridge at home and get smashed in the replay, we should have made the Semi’s really especially as we had such a good team, ah well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
