What a terrible post. Self-serving arrogance in the face of potential solutions.Having a dedicated area to stand does not impede on your right to sit. It makes it clearer.

It makes it clearer.Someone having a different opinion to yours whilst giving reasoned arguments doesn't make them self-serving or arrogant. Please show more respect and maturity. Lindy has raised some legitimate concerns with bringing back standing namely: -- If it happens Rovers need to carefully assess where the standing areas are placed. Remembering not all people can or want to stand and so ensuring the options for where people can sit (at the back of stands/behind the goal wherever) aren't reduced.- There have been severe health and safety issues, and indeed tragedies, from standing areas in the past. Lindy is right to raise these concerns. After all the Government, to a degree must share these concerns, hence why this is only being introduced now and only as a trial.- On a broader point people with young children, short people, the elderly and people with mobility issues are discouraged from attending away matches due to the selfish, thoughtlessness of people standing which forces the majority to stand.I don't see any lack of understanding of the argument in Lindy's post either, just a different opinion, suggesting so is condescending.Just on my last bullet point. Want an example of an opinion which lacks understanding and is self-serving arrogance how about..... "The atmosphere is so much better [at away games] because just about everybody stands ....... it shouldn't be any different at home." Yep nuts to the fans who simply can't stand during a match so long as you're enjoying a better atmosphere.
