I wonder what the stewarding will be like when those who haven't got tickets with their mates try and stand with them ,i.e. 3 people in 2 places. Last season at Mansfield it happened when they tried this but the stewards didn't take much action.

I can understand people wanting to stand but quite frankly there should be no standing allowed in a seating area. It is unbelievably dangerous. More dangerous in a seating area than an area without seats. Can you imagine what would happen if people were pushed from behind in a seating area. I am amazed it is allowed at all to be honest. At many of the premier league grounds there are many thousands of fans stood up behind the goals.
It is time some safe standing areas are brought back into the all seater stadiums.
Having said that I would much rather sit these days and I think nearly all over sixty’s would. Probably most people over forty prefer to sit.


I'm afraid that I have to disagree with you here, there are no figures to suggest that standing in a seated area is any more dangerous than standing on an open terrace. According to the data there are two occasions when injuries are reported in seated areas, the first is when a goal is scored (obviously ) and the second occasion is when people are leaving the stadium. Both of those occasions are also permitted under the current legislation. At a Premier League level it has become apparent over recent years that the legislation is having no affect whatsoever, and has reached a point where a lot of clubs have given up trying to enforce that.

It's just a matter of time before the Sports Minister bows to the inevitable and agrees for safe standing sections to be installed.

Grow up. Just sit somewhere else. What does it matter what it says on the ticket?

It matters what it says on the ticket in a sold out area with allocated seats.
Suppose four people book to sit together and end up having to move.
It would be very unlikely there would be four seats together and what if the people whos’ seats They had gone to turned up and wanted the seats themselves.
Stewards would move on the people who didn’t have the correct tickets.
Not as simple as grow up is it.

I don't understand why everyone doesn't just go on the ticket website, pick where they want to sit and have them delivered at an extra cost of just £1
It would certainly be much easier than sitting at your keyboard complaining that you are going to be sat somewhere that you don't want to be :headbang:

 Axholme  lion  you grow, up and stand somewhere else, at the back where no one has a problem with it, on the concourse with a beer in hand if you want,again no problem. but not in front of someone sat down in a seated area.
  It is ignorant, bullying, and totally out of order.

does not matter what the people that want to stand think, as the answer is they are called ALL SEATER STADIUMS for a reason

They're never full up to capacity. I went in the home end at Forest earlier in the season as we had sold out all our tickets. I got spotted and chucked out and put in the away end which we had supposedly sold out and was full. No problem.

Ha ha ha. No, not really. It was just a lapel badge. But seen as the Germans were forgiven for the war quicker than Millwall for Luton it's what we learn to put up with.

Il be standing and singing wherever I am.

Clubs do it up and down the country every week, why does it have to be an issue for us?

Did every one of you sit down at Bel vue as well?

Kieron, if I and my family were sat and had been for some time and you stood in front of me I think that I would have every right to be annoyed. I would usually be sat to one side rather than bang in the middle and don't have a problem with fans standing. By the same token fans wanting to stand can't ignore other fans views. A bit of common sense on both sides of the argument goes a long way. If you want to stand move higher up towards the back to upset fewer fans and be early to get your place.

Move higher up and take someone else’s allocated seat?

Ive asked for seats at the back but the problem is when fans on the 4th row from the back expect the 20 fans standing in front to sit down because they want to.

As I posted earlier,one of the main problems is " 3 people standing where there's only 2 seats " like at Mansfield last season. I'm able to stand for 90 minutes so that doesn't bother me but not to be crowded out by some 16 year old who's a sniff of a barmaid's  apron.

I would argue that it is a serious argument when the actual class clown has already declared that he will stand where he wants to.
