This relates specifically to Shrewsbury Town. Does this help to achieve safe standing at the Keepmoat?

It does when it goes towards proving that it is viable to those who need to see it to believe it (Politicians, etc).

True. Did I see somewhere that safe standing is being considered at our place?

If it was only that simple. I'm sure we'll have some form of standing in the Keepmoat at some point in the future but I doubt it will be 'rail seating' as we are currently campaigning for.

Why don't you think it will be the rail seating? Cost?

How does contributing to a crowd funding site change an act of parliament because that what would have to happen for terraces to be reinstated.

Essentially cost, but also they will be superfluous. Rail seats are popular with clubs who host European, UEFA, FIFA, type fixtures because their regulations state that those games must be played in all seater stadiums. For normal league games the seats will be locked in the up position.

So clubs who don't play in Europe won't need them. And then if you persuade UEFA and FIFA to change their regulations then the requirement disappears altogether.

Should put standing in away ends aswell with the amount of away fans that stand through the game.

Look at the pictures of the rovers v Sheffield weds friendly were 90% of  3000+ owls were all standing

The keepmoat has held FIFA games u19 England so we would lose them games if rail seats aren't installed or that area would have to remain unsold

Not a problem as they usually don't sell that well anyway.
