Safe Standing extension


Gutted they've not extended further into U14. We're a staircase between where it currently ends so extending forward just further cuts off our view without the benefits of being able to stand.

I’m in U17 and the second row up with my 9 year old daughter , we don’t stand up and neither do the people in front or around us , mostly the people towards the back do , does anyone actually know if its the whole block of just the rows towards the back as it is in the south stand currently ?

If it’s the whole block I’d be quite pissed off as I will have to look for somewhere else to sit. As my daughter won’t stand all game.

I’ll swap if that’s possible. Me and my two boys would love to stand.

Well yes but they then have to move

Ya can’t not change it to standing for the sake of a few bores

They need to change the entire north stand to standing also as well as the rest of the south round to the south east corner, lower tier anarl. Thats when the atmosphere will change

I sit in the North Stand. I don't want it to be a standing area.

The east stand and premier concourse should be for the old bores not behind the goals

I agree - two home ends behind the goals standing would look and create much better atmosphere

I would do the lower sections too, pretty pointless doing the sections that already stand, going to make very little difference
 
Im at the front of U37 and in one of the first few rows that doesn't currently have safe standing, so hopefully we'll have it this year, as its causing a few issues with idiots stood in front of us at the end of the game

See post #19 by Weststand as it's got the new safe standing that shows it's now all of U37 along with all the other front rows.

This year is on the left and next year is on the right showing the front rows now standing along with the south east corner.

Why not? Of course it should have, it's quite a big change without giving clear notice. Some people will find it difficult to stand for 90 minutes every week. It should have been made clearer IMO.

I know the majority stand in those areas now already. But some people might still buy a ticket on the assumption that it's still a seating area.

Outraged on behalf of others. I’m outraged.

Would be difficult given the location of the Wheelchair spaces to 'authorise' standing in the lower section, I see it every match in the South stand where someone constantly stands in front of a wheelchair user and they have to constantly be looking around him.
