Mr Popodopolous Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 This thread maybe bullshit, and I definitely hope it is. To explain- as we know WBA had their bid to get safe standing trial up and running rejected and since then, the Sports Minister has said unconvinced and that her preferred solution would be for the all-seater rules to be enforced properly, or words to that effect. I foresee issues ahead, though maybe I'm wrong- I hope this thread is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted April 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 Further evidence as part of that chain: So, in case anyone doesn't know why away fans stand seemingly without much interference, now we know. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/43832443 Please understand- I'm not pointing the finger at any potential theoretical (though remote) change at the club, or even to an extent the SAG but the Sports Minister.

Port Said Red Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 I just keep imagining the trouble that trying to get 1000+ people to sit down will cause every week. The police and the stewards turn a bind eye now for convenience, they know they can't pick on individuals without ending up in a slanging match and accusations of bias.

Mr Popodopolous Posted April 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 I fully agree @Port Said Red I don't think it is in jeopardy personally, but it's not impossible if she insists. It would be chaos...the only sensible way forward is to keep it as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, they just sit in their ivory towers spouting this nonsense not thinking about the consequences and implications of what they do. I am fed up with being treated differently because I am a football supporter. Why is it that the around 1500 people who have a dual season ticket to Bristol City and Bristol "Bears" can only drink in their seats whilst watching one set of those games and no one has a problem with those fans standing all game? I wonder if it has anything to do with which game is most popular in Public Schools? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS4 on Tour... Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 How many more times can the singing section be moved? First East End, then Williams, then Atyeo, then South Stand....now it could be in jeopardy?! I’m losing track of all these stands changing their names....

It's a bit worrying when they state that 'celebrating in seated areas can lead to injury'. Will we be forced to applaud politely? I wouldn't put it past them to try…WTAF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken George Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 This bint who appears to be in charge is a woman from Kent, who supports Spurs, who has no football club within her constituency, but is deemed fit to do this job and judge this because she’s coached a junior girls team. I don’t hold out much hope of getting anything from this Tory government as a whole, let alone this wannabe bint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbored Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 Not being funny but do they actually sing anymore? Since they have moved from the Atyeo I very rarely hear them in Dolman B block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
