Safe Standing


Hardly going to make a difference to the atmosphere as everyone stands there with their arms crossed in silence anyway. Put it across the whole end and I’ll be bothered.
 
would be great if everyone in this area contributed to the atmosphere and not just full of people renewing out of habit.

Got no issue with people that aren't interested in making a noise but every week that end is overcrowded because match by match ticket buyers buy elsewhere and have to cram themselves in because they can't get a ticket because hundreds are stood with their arms folded.

I fear the novelty of being in the rail seats will attract hundreds to the area that don't contribute though.

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?

I'm north stand upper U28
I'd call the away section the concourse but we've had our renewal so we aren't affected .
Bit vague really who the 1000 are .

it's the away end because clubs have to provide equivalent options to aways that are available to home supporters.

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?

I agree, the front would have made more sense as it would have attracted more fans to go there and encourage chanting from the front.

statement said 1000 north stand upper didn't it?

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

Ah right, I thought it would have been at the back of the north stand, not the away end.

Another club to put our pathetic ownership to shame. They refuse to even engage on the issue of safe standing. Farcical.

Agreed. It was supposed to be the chanting section but the club cocked up by offering the north standers who were forced to relocate first dibs, thereby diluting the atmosphere. Then you have fans who want to be part of it but not willing to join in. Or the gowies as they're referred to. Like getting stuck on a shoe and difficult to shake off.
