As I said mate, some people just don’t think we should stand at all? That may be their opinion and it certainly isn’t for me to tell them they’re wrong!

You can stand if you want, stand if you want.

I think most people would be willing to pay a bit extra for it. It would also help with a self policing element. If you saw someone regularly trying to sneak in you’d say “oi, we pay more to be here. Fuck off”

Ii personally don't have any problem with sectioned off rail seating as it will allow people to stand without breaking ground regulations.I do however believe if people think its going to bring back some sort of Roker atmosphere are going to be severely disappointed!

"Pay extra to stand"!...fekking worlds going mad!.......Its not what happens in europe .....I think thats partly the problem with implementation some clubs have a finite fanbase they will lose revenue because i dont think people will pay more to stand they will rightly want to pay less.

Who knows. I grew up going to Roker Park, and in my opinion most of the better atmospheres have been at the new ground. So, the passion is still there, that hasn't gone out of SAFC's following. Standing does add something to your behaviour during the match. It just doesn't feel right sat down trying to get an atmosphere going. Sitting down is for watching the tele not being passionate about the football club.
It was all a load of bollocks anyway. Standing up at the match didn't cause the problems at say Hillsborough. Among the Conservative Party and associates, it had been planned for a long time to smash all working class institutions (documented fact). So, when the opportunity came along, they had us all sat down like middle class entertainment seekers. It's never been the same since all seater grounds, Sky, Premier League, and where you probably do have a point is that it won't be allowed to develop into a situation where the crowd gets a bit too unruly. 'Can't have that when there is money to be made from foreigners through advertising sanitised English football.

There will only ever be one Roker End and it’s not the one made up by dellboy and Rodney to win a few brownie points with the fans.

Most people only breathe into the top half of the lungs - it's passive diaphragm breathing. I'm talking about active diaphragm breathing, which is a standard technique used by trained singers. It requires initiating the breath from underneath the diaphragm by using the transverse abdominal muscles. You can tell when someone's doing it because there's no chest expansion, but an expansion beneath the diaphragm; my teacher used to check I was doing it properly by putting their hands on my sides about waist level and making sure the expansion was happening there. You can spot a very good singer if they're wearing a tie or necklace, because it literally won't move on the inbreath.

Diaphragmatic breathing is a deep breathing exercise that may help with anxiety and breathing problems. This article explains how to do it, benefits, and risks.

I’d say at least 25% of the people in the South Stand never even went to Roker Park.

I have no problems with safe standing provided those who want to sit can, particularly at away games.

You’re saying people would want it to bring back some kind of Roker Park atmosphere, when by your own admission a fair chunk of them have no idea what a roker atmosphere is.

All away games should just be unallocated seating anyway. If you are in the minority who do want to sit go to the first couple of rows and let the rest to just stand wherever they want with the mates
