Brexit

Its not shit at all. My opinion is different to yours. You surely did not expect to come on here and have everyone agree with you, which seemingly seems to be the bit that has got people hot under the collar. Youd think I'd shit in your knicker drawer the way some are going on here.
I've seen standing in action at English football grounds and I've seen the way our fans behave. I couldnt care less what variant of "standing" you come up with "safe" or otherwise, I dont support it. English football and safety at football grounds has come a long way in the last 30 years and I dont see why we are trying to fix something that isnt broken.
Sorry, I dont support it, irrespective of how hot under the collar people get. Not only that bit it is not even a talking point, ever, amongst football fans I speak to. Never yet heard a groundswell of opinion calling for the reintroduction of standing. I dont think that I've ever had a conversation about it ever in a pub or club or out on the street and I can well understand why football clubs, local authorities and the government would be extremely nervous about its reintroduction.
However football and the authorities can do what they like but I'll not be standing in such an area again - safe, rail or otherwise.
It is shit. People are asking for the choice. Have sections of stadium catering for the differing needs and desires of different fans.
