Safe standing surely its time ?

It would be interesting if and when it happens, since it would be an admission that the Hillsborough disaster wasn't the fans' fault.

This will never happen again in my opinion besides that i like sitting at the match, we are not as fit as what we used to be Dave lol. I think we should have seat recliners and a button that automatically asks you for your order from the tuck shop inside the ground. Supporters will support the side no matter what Dave, you could put beds in the stands in some of the turkish teams and they would still make an almighty noise. The problem we have is we don't have many pure supporters who attend the match in London anymore.

This crops up all the time and fans would generally welcome it. It works well in Germany and you can get a beer as well stood up.

Cant see it happening any time soon though -but it's like all these things it needs popular pressure -ie the fans of the Premier League clubs need to unite and lobby Parliament, because at the moment its enshrined in legislation.

Bring it on. Ad others have said I get really agitated when the stewards come round telling you to sit down even tho the 3 rows in front are on there feet too. Hate sitting at matches

Lol some steward looked so proud of himself when he got the stand to sit..then someone started a 'stand up' for something and his face.Guess its hard on them cause end of the day they're doing what they've been told to do and all but sometimes it is daft

St Helen`s rugby club have just finished building their new stadium and they have terracing behind the goals....so why can they have standing and football can`t??????

[manco 38]

Agreed

[zolayes 14,489]

take a look at our trains and tubes ... standing is almost compulsory ...and the trains move ...well sometimes they do.

people need to cool it with digging at stewards i used to do that we had to do it was the rules and our job, if we didnt do it we got a bollocking from the boss, i didnt like doing it but had to, dont get me wrong i love standing up but to them it was safety for people to sit down and not stand

[Fulham Broadway 17,300]

Our government deems it unsafe to stand and watch a football match

-but they allow people to stand sardine like on a train hurtling along at 100mph +

[NattyBlue 44]

^ Our Government have no real grasp of reality, we have known this for years

Well thanks to those scousers counts standing has been banned. They don't learn from it. They trampled their own fans in order to get inside the stadium at Athens

[Steve 10,227]

This would be the best thing to happen in English football. This would bring back so much atmosphere to the game. It would also bring back a lot of members who only go to away games because the lack of atmosphere at home games. I was embarrassed at times being at the bridge, even sitting in the Matthew Harding Lower where everyone around me just sat there and didn't sing anything. I would attempt to start chants and the odd person here and there would join in but not everyone. When chants did get going we would get quickly shut down by the stewards who would make us sit down. I understand that they have a job to do but it's fucking annoying.

Liverpool fans debating safe standing..
