I rarely go away but standing at the West Ham game yesterday felt just like being in the East End 1989/90 for my first season. I know going away amplifies excitement, as does the nature of that cup tie but I'm convinced that standing would help atmosphere. I was singing like the best of them at the London stadium but sat down, the game feels entirely more sedate. I think safe standing -well planned to cater to all tastes and those who can't or don't like standing - would transform football.
