Cant be arsed reading all this but I think you'll find that SAFC are correct in stating that it is against the law to stand at the SoL. I am neutral as far as those who do choose to stand are concerned but the Safety Certificate (another legal requirement) at the SoL is issued on condition that spectators SIT DOWN

You CANNOT, repeat CANNOT get arrested for standing at a football match. It is not an offence.

Why don't those who love to stand actually do something about it instead of winging on a message board and telling the club stewards to f*** off

A big protest like that will alert the Club to the stupidity of the matter.

There is a murderer walking the streets and the Police are arresting people who will not sit down

Everone stands, so nobody who wants to sit can do so. A very selfish attitude.
