Mr Popodopolous Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 Just now, Phileas Fogg said: I must admit I didn’t read all that because I knew what you were going to say. I’m only interested in the end result - and the club messed that up. Ha I am predictable on this! Still though I'm trying to think of a solution. Unreserved or POTD seating with ability to move if promoted (ha) or relevant Cup games in some bits.. Upper Lansdown maybe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Skin Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 Sorry if this has been covered already, but what does the safe standing look like these days? I'd be happy to stand for the game itself, but being a bit of an old git these days I appreciate a sit down at half time. Would each standing area have a seat that could be used when needed or are these fixed either up or down like the rail seat design? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may change. Personally, I think it should, because it is a safety hazard to have wobbly seats accessible to fans in areas being operated as standing, since fans then can - and will - stand on them and could thus fall off and get injured. In conventional standing areas (terraces) structures on which fans can stand are banned. So, logic says that this rule may follow in due course for 'safe standing' areas too, with a requirement for the seats to be secured upright when the area is being used for standing. As, indeed, is already the way things are done all over Europe and, for instance, at Celtic. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way the walk home will keep you fit and you will live a long life. I told him to stop preaching and jumped into an Uber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much was it to put safe standing railings in the south stand corner? Ive heard the figure of around £40k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
