QA22 Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Hi all - anyone know for a fact if this will be allowed next season? With the jobsworth stewards we have in AG I'm not sure - but I brought my season ticket next season in the back row of S19 for a reason, so I could stand. Hope it will be aloud - and what about the atmosphere in there next season? Anyone from the Williams moving over there like I am - a proper good atmosphere in a new stand would be fun!

The club quite clearly said, that you won't be allowed to stand in any other stand than the Ateyo. It's not like this hasn't been highlighted, it's been said multiple times.

Puckle_red Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 People moving all over the place but I imagine the South Stand will be the 3rd out if 3 places to be for atmosphere... Also in my experience some of the stewards are excellent, a minority let them down. However, I have heard from the club there will be "zero tolerance" to standing anywhere other than the Atyeo, rightly or wrongly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixtyseconds Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 According to Bristol Sports safety officer the extra 2% on its rake will make the stand too steep to stand, and the air too short in oxygen to sing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

real_bristol Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 For me it's safer to stand. I don't get why there's a "safe" in safestanding. I think I have circulation issues though so medically speaking I'm glad I'm in the Atyeo next season. Is it or is it not a human rights issue if someone is more comfortable standing? Personally I think someone should take it to ECoHR whilst we're still in the EU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Watts Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Not convinced the original post was anything other than some obscure wind up to be honest. For one, as cityareredandwhite pointed out, it was well publicised.....and secondly, no season tickets were sold for S19 as the club are unsure as to a possible restricted view caused by the Williams rebuild (as I found out when I realised that this was originally the block I wanted!). Though I must admit if I'm right and it is a wind up, then I really have missed the point somewhat... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRL Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Dvt. get up and tell them they are putting your health at risk as you have poor circulation. They cannot do anything about it. This will make a mokery of the sitting only rule. I am surprised it has not been challenged in court yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean the small kid sat behind you who won't be able to see a thing has to take you to court because you didn't buy your ticket in an area where you were given that option, namely the Atyeo.

You can be (a)loud but you will not be allowed to stand in S19. Get the club to move you to the Atyeo? The atmosphere will be fine in the New Stand providing the team performs well and also if matches are entertaining and competitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up to you where you sit. Nowt to do with me. No, possibly not (or maybe they can I'm not overly sure where the law falls on legislation following the Taylor report), but they have made it a condition of entry onto private land, and if you refuse to adhere to that condition then the club are fully entitled to remove you from said land. So legally able to make people sit or not, you cannot grumble if you are removed for persistent standing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRISTOL86 Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Hopefully not. People have to realise that people don't necessarily want to be forced to stand (by those persistently standing in front of them) in order to see the game from the seat they've paid for. I enjoy a brief spell of standing when something particularly exciting is happening but if people in front of me were standing for the majority of the game it'd get very old very fast. Nothing against those who want to stand (and I'm all in favour of designated safe standing areas for those who do) but you have to expect persistent standing violations to be enforced in any all-seated area. EDIT - missed the fact that you said the very back row. But the rest is still valid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
