Yeah this has been coming for a couple of years. Season ticket holders in that area have received an email/letter prior to last season (before the pandemic came along). Its the 3 blocks, S25, S26 and S27. Just short of 1200. For some reason 1146 rings a bell, but it's less than 1200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those pictures look like someone has bolted some red scaffold bars onto the existing seats and terracing. Is this new seating as well? Does this allow for the seats to be locked in an up or down position? or is this literally the same seats but with new bars added in front of them?

It's more of a hybrid solution. Personally think more likely to get injuries with this design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we know, they don't have any locks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelts Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 I’m not one to stand at games due to health problems but I really do help we get the guys standing and we get an atmosphere at the gate that’s been lacking since we left the Atyeo .

WolfOfWestStreet Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 Having something to lean onto whilst standing is actually really nice. I've watched a couple of NFL games at White Hart Lane where they have this. Also stops people falling into the rows in front when we score (I know that is rare) it's dangerous standing up with a seat ready to take your shin clean off right in front. I think the fans on S82 will like it, I know I am looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS10 RED Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 Think I’m right in thinking before the start of last season though you had to pick a official seat for that section. So no more rocking up at 2:55 and standing where you like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the "old days" I loved standing but we used to sit on the terraces at half time to have our tea, if I tried that now I probably struggle to get back up for the 2nd half. A seat will be welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's your thoughts on it? @WolfOfWestStreet I have a feeling there will be a couple of problems in the first couple of games, but after that people will just stand wherever. It's always been like that going back to the old EE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think stewards will clamp down on people not standing in front of a seat though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's always been like that going back to the old EE. I don't see any issue tbh. Most of the people in that stand will be season ticket renewals who know the drill. I have my "spot" but it's never the exact same seat every time. I'd be amazed if there was any issues there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoystonFoote'snephew Posted July 31, 2021 Report Share Posted July 31, 2021 According to the Post City have not installed the safety proven rail seats just barriers to prevent forward movement.

How did this accord with safety requirements and City gain permission for their use? In short, rails such as city have installed are allowed, teams such as spurs use rail and not ”safety proven rail seats”. A rail, provides the same safety as a rail seat at a lot Lower cost. I have to say it does look naff though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the difference ? Its a rail and a seat which is in the up position permanently unless someone sits on it. And much cheaper than ripping out loads of seats for the same end result.
