Safe Standing


I haven't paid much attention to the safe standing goings on and debate cos I know nowt about how it's done, and currently it didn't effect where we sit.
But I did see that post last night and my immediate thought, from my untrained eye, was 'there's something doesn't seem right about that.'
Just seemed to me that if anyone wanted/needed to sit, they'd not be able to see!
But admittedly, Is that not the case if someone wanted to sit at any safe standing stadia?

BTW, did those people in impacted seats get choice to move this year (haven't been following this closely)

How can anyone look at that and think it looks right? It’s just a f***ing bar put over the seats nothing like the safe standing in most grounds. I’m not complaining like cos I’m not arsed but it does look dodgy.

Just looking at pictures on Google of other clubs safe standing section and no one has done it like this, it takes a good 6 to 8inches away from the row so even when your standing your legs are going to be pinned to your seat behind you while you rest on the bar upright.

Honestly this is cheap as fuck.

Everyone has someone like these where the rail is built into the seat.

I was expecting the seats to be part of the rail but your link showing how the richest club in the world have done it is exactly the same as ours

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:

What are you on about? It's clearly finished they are bolted to the ground.

Its not, our rail is bolted on the floor behind the seat whereas the mags appear to have bolted them against the step in line with the seats.
