Will it be the same ones coming out of the woodwork as the ones at the Arsenal game, who did n't give a shit about people behind them when they were stood up on the front rows?

It was just plain selfish at end of the day, absolute moronic individuals/groups who didn't seem to care even when their was elderly and children that couldn't see the game. I remember it happened at Port Vale a few years ago. As some of the people I go with prefer to sit down and at the end of the day if the stand was for standing the seats wouldn't be there in the first place. There should have been more of a structure in place and to have had one side for standing and then another for sitting down, unfortunately if you end up being in the seating section it's tough s**t.

No most of these didn’t go Arsenal. I stood and stood in the standing section.

This needs to be done v Rotherham then but not just 200 tickets in a 2500 away end.

Post by: anne honemous on January 20, 2018, 06:30:43 pm
Big difference between Rotherham and Arsenal is the away end at the Emirates is pretty shallow between the rows, whereas Rotherham is pretty steep - total opposite ends of the scale.

You could probably stand up at Rotherham's ground ad the person behind will still see the pitch fine.

Concourse space will be the biggest problem as it's stupidly small anyway and we'll sell out.

2500 max away capacity? First time supply isn’t going to meet demand. Sell out easy if so

2006 I believe last time in the league, 0-0 at Milmoor.

If we don't sell out, it'll be embarrassing.

The problem with a sell out with DRFC. Half our fans want to stand the other half sit. One way or the other one half is not going to be happy. I don’t understand why we did it for Arsenal but not for Rotherham.

Gone on members sale today, got mine crack of dawn this morning and only blocks 5, 6 & corner 7 left, i'd say thats 60-70% of the allocation gone. About 1500-1750 quickly adding that up.

Not sure how many have got members cards but they're worth the money, and i've had a few of my mates message me a bit twitchy arsed thinking it'll sell out before general sale.

The away end is steeper than any stand most of our fans will have been in. If there's any argy-bargy it could be like the surges from the good old days.

Ticket sales so far: SW1 - 1 seat available, SS7 and SS6 sold out, SS5 behind the goal - sold out, SS4 also behind the goal currently on sale 370 seats left. SS3 yet to be released but last of the large blocks, SS2, SS1 and SE1 are smaller sections and have yet to be released. It looks likely that tickets will be available for general sale but unlikely any will be behind the goal.

Got mine today you pretty much pick your location. I want to stand I have third row from the back. I would hope anyone wanting to stand has picked the back 10 rows so it doesn’t ruin it for those who can’t stand for 90 mins. However the same needs to work the other way around it’s just common sense.

Post by: Campsall rover on January 30, 2018, 08:52:28 pm
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.

When I bought my tickets I asked to sit where I wanted. It wasn’t hard having a conversation with another human being even a young lady who is younger than my own daughter in my case, it’s called communication and politeness. The real problem will occur on the day when those who don’t possess a season ticket/membership card buy tickets but want to be behind the goal. Not the people who work in the ticket office fault but it is going to happen

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'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.

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:

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

But it's unenforceable Dave, so what's the answer?

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.

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.

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.

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:

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.

Why are 3 people standing where’s there’s only 2 seats?

Because they’d be forced to sit down if they sat in their allocated seats by you miserable t**ts.

on the other hand, they may - as a couple - enjoy exploring the world of the frotteur - a person who obtains sexual gratification by touching or rubbing against the clothed body of another person in a crowd. - it's very big in japan, so i am lead to believe, where there's a lot of it on the extremely overcrowded public transport networks

not so sure how macdonalds staff would react, though - or stewards in rotherham...

1985 at Millmoor. We won 3-2. One of my favourite away days. Walking down the alley from the away end with the locals lobbing stuff at us was fun. So was the walk back to the station.

I consoled myself in that (a) we'd won and (b) I wasn't from Rotherham.
