BB. Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 Having a safe standing terrace section would be quality fun, create some more noise for the lads and make Ashton Gate a more intimidating place at the same time luring the old school supporter back.YES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pentlandsl Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 But I can't ever see a club with an all-seater stadium doing it unless they are persistantly getting full houses and turning people away. Why would they want to spend money creating an area which would generate less money than the seats they already have as I can't imagine people wanting to pay as much for standing than they do for sitting.

I think it's Wycombe who are building a new stadium with terracing areas.I for one would be happy to pay the same price as usual to have terracing. There is a strong possibillity that terracing would attract more people to games as some people stopped going to matches as they refused to watch sitting down in silence.Terracing would create more noise which would help the players to perform better in my opinion. This could lead to a higher league position which could be the difference between promotion or not which would obviously get us more money.Also, football's not just about money, if for no other reason, then bring terracing back for the fans!Bring back terracing!!

BCFC Matt Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 I'd be for it...Do you think it would bring-in a few more supporters, I most certainly do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've got a standing area then surely you can fit more people in which would balance out the difference in ticket price if there had to be one.Personally I'd pay the same price (if not more!) to be allowed to stand.
