Safe Standing

I appreciate this might be covered in another thread, but t I do feel it's a serious enough change for a thread of its own.

Does anyone know the locations of the safe standing for the the North and South,
Would make sense for the South Stand would be where people stand now, but it's a bit of a minefield as you might be creating blocked views either side of standing area.

Other option for Southarand is you bring it t back from the back, likewise Northsrand you would think the front end ght behind ne goal makes most sense?

Says North Stand upper so I would imagine it's where the away fans are.
 
statement said 1000 north stand upper didn't it?

i assume for away fans who probably stand all game anyway.

North Stand is for the away fans.

Totally missed the north stand upper part, not sure the point at stopping at 1000 tbh might as well go all the upper part of upper tier standing, the potentially let families sit in lower tier, due to less risk of them throwing stuff down?
 
Wonder how they get allocated? To people already in those seated areas first then any left over general season ticket sale?

Yeah I’d guess they go, current area, rest of south stand, season ticket holders, general sale or something along those lines.

Most teams in the championship aren’t bringing much more and gives people the option to stand or sit. I noticed the mags have away standing areas not sure if it’s the full lot of just a bit

Will they not block the view of people in the first lot of white seats?

It’ll be upper tier surely, from the block under the scoreboard to the one under the police box? Yes it’ll have dodgy sight lines either side of it but that’s happening anyway (plus the SWC stand which means that’ll be fine)

don’t see why it’s needed as people stand without issues as it is ?

Safer with a barrier in front of you. Eg the Mags away was lethal when we scored (got barriers up now)
