Safe Standing


I'm surprised everyone's so surprised.

First thought is that it is being done as a trial and then going forward the European style ones with built in seats will be brought in when we go up I.e have dosh

Well come on mate, they've installed a dangerous metal bar that encroaches into the seating area rather than doing it properly.

I’m sure everything they’ve done has been authorised & cleared by stadium health & safety experts. Being able to host crowds is a bit of a big deal these days & given that this is the initial test for the majority of clubs, they’ll not be just allowed to hoy anything up they want.

The only people who’ve said it’s dangerous is people who’ve seen a picture on the internet.

Well it's quite clearly dangerous there is big metal posts at the end and in the middle of rows people will get hurt on them. Also imagine the bloke on the end of the row, he's going to have to step out every time someone wants past.

It's cheap as fuck.
 
Here are how some other clubs in our league have done it. A lot more are doing it ahead of next season. While some seem to have the rail seating the way we have done it isn’t uncommon. They could have at least used red painted metal!

The leg room in Cardiff seats aisle is much bigger than ours.
Be interesting to see in person how these actually are at the SOL.
I'm now glad they wouldn't let me move there because my son is U18.
 
I'm sure Davison said in a RAWA meeting it would cost around a million to implement safe standing. Looks like we've spent a few thousand quid tops!

It's nowt like other safe standing areas and I'm not surprised they've gone for this cheap option.

This is the safe standing that is more common and what I expected them to install.

It pretty obvious that it is, the bars have been bolted to the ground, they're not going to unbolt them, throw them away and buy proper rail seating, are they?

Why is it pretty obvious? How do you know they are finished and there's not more things to install?

That's an assumption at best. You reckon they can just stick a bit of metal there and don't have to adhere to any safety standards? :lol: :lol:
 
Looks a bit dodgy to me like, the posts bolted onto the ground behind rather than being flush with the seats is gonna reduce an already narrow space and the way they have bolted it to the floor at the very end of the rows is a trip hazard imho. Surprised this has passed a risk assessment in this day and age.
