It's selfish petulance on both sides, idiots who choose to stand at the front and idiots who chose to sit at the back.

Aye, them selfish people who have to sit down...how dare they want to have a good view of the match, even if they've paid just as much as anyone else to watch it??

It's not selfish to need to sit down, it's selfish to sit on the back row knowing full well people congregate at the back to stand, which is common acceptance in every football ground in the country.

Equally, people who stand at the front are selfish t**ts.

It's not a difficult concept.

If it’s a seating area your supposed to sit. End of.
So until they bring back standing enclosures those that wish to stand should only do so at the discretion of the stewards and have the common courtesy not to do so if it obstructs those who are sat down.
IS THAT NOT REASONABLE. Yes it is imo.

I'll bet most grounds would get away with only one, or two stands at most with seats in them.
I don't think I've ever looked at a seat number on the ticket at an away match. Having said that if I was stood in front of someone sat down I would move, but the problem never arises. Seems to be a big issue at Doncaster though reading this forum.

To be fair it's not a massive issue, on the whole those that do want to sit go to the front.
There's a handful on vocal moaners on here though who seem to enjoy the sterilisation of football, and will only be happy when the atmosphere is like the crucible or wimbledon.

I often wonder why they go to football, if they hate the experience so much.

The atmosphere at a lot of grounds is really poor nowadays. If people can't put up with a bit of banter and swearing they shouldn't go. I have to bite my tongue everyday, everywhere, because you're always offending some pc snowflake. Going to a match is the only escape there is. At some ground they even have grassing phone numbers to text, unbelievable!

you're a proper geezer int ya, ducking and diving in the sprawling metropolis that is the isle of axholme. A little bit wahay, a little bit woohoo. Ah well ta da.

This looks like it could be a massive topic on both the Rangers and Celtic forums. Nobody is sat down

Which makes a total mockery of all seater stadiums.
Why is everyone allowed to stand. Health & Safety.
If someone gets killed there will be a lot of questions to answer.

Who's going to stop them? 40k fans versus a few hundred stewards? It'd be a waste of time and would only cause more aggro than leaving them be.

And I highly doubt there's any people whinging on their forums about it.
They are more bothered about the football.

When you say on their Harris do you mean the manager?

It's got nothing to do with Health and Safety. There is absolutely no evidence to suggest that all seater stadiums are any safer than standing terraces or similar. The most dangerous time in a stadium is when people are leaving and I fail to see how any legislation can resolve that one.

Standing in a seated area isn't illegal. In fact the legislation accounts for the fact that people will stand in those areas and allows them to do so at 'times of high excitement'.

No, the problem these days is a customer service issue and the current government review should lead to a change in the existing legislation. Meanwhile the managed standing areas that exist, in Cardiff for example, and the structural changes brought in at Celtic Park, Shrewsbury, Wycombe, and the new Spurs stadium will show the way for when the Government finally realise we have been right all along.

I recently attended Celtic Park, the fans love the safe standing area, it creates a great atmosphere and the players acknowledge them in that area after the final whistle.

And? The relevance to this thread is what exactly?

No, their arse.
