Standing stands back to PL

[Joe Tyler 84]

I'll say it again, it won't happen at Chelsea. It would actually reduce the capacity if we did this so where is the benefit? Our singing is fine during big games where we are not expected to win with ease, the atmosphere is a victim of our own success and excpectations

Just make the Shed Lower and Matthew Harding lower all standing, and the rest can stay seated so people don't get annoyed. Pretty much everyone in the MH lower wants to stand anyway.

Bundesliga type atmospheres would be awesome.

how would the capacity be reduced? wouldn't we just replace each seat with a standing place that has a seat built into the railing that can be unlocked for european games?

I'm on the fans forum, so I'm privy to a lot of information that 99.9% of fan's won't have access to. It's totally pointless anyway, you all want them installed in the Shed and Harding Lowers, why? They are the only 2 areas of the stadium that do not need improving so it wouldn't do anything.

People just want to stand and have a proper organized area to do so. It is not that hard to understand!

We stand in the Shed Lower and Harding Lower anyway!

We stand in the Shed Lower and Harding Lower anyway!

But it isn't an area prepared to stand. It makes a whole lot of difference!

Have you ever watched a game in a standing stand to begin with?

[Joe Tyler 84]

Yes thanks, Brentford away last year was the most recent, but that was not safe standing and people were running around everywhere. It makes no difference, the seats fold up exactly the same as the safe standing do, just the barriers go higher.

Than you should know it is highly uncomfortable to stand, sing, jump in a seating stand.

People just want to have proper places for them to stand, so they think we can realistic turn both Shed Lower and MHL into safe standing sections without having to make a lot of structure changes in Stamford Bridge...

Saying that it makes no difference is a bit stupid, sorry. All you need to do is ask any German (or even Brazilian, Argentine, Turkish, etc) how big of an impact the removal of the seats make!

It's not uncomfortable in the slightest! Having fewer people in the stadium will make the biggest difference of all, besides, I don't want to pay £50 for a ticket and not be able to sit down at half time.

What a weird argument!

1. Having seats behind your back while jumping, singing and celebrating is uncomfortable as hell. You realy havent experienced it for you to say something like that!

2. I prefer 38-39k fans with a louder crowd than 41k who cant silence some random Wigan fans.

3. If you want to sit at haft-time, buy your ticket in another section. That simple!

4. The stadium should be a place for ALL types of fans, not just for those who want to watch the game sitted...

I dont know the complications surrounding Stamford Bridge, but there is absolutely no harm in allowing one or two standing stands for the ones who want it.

[Joe Tyler 84]

Ok, firstly, I've been to hundreds of Chelsea matches. Secondly the main argument everyone is making is to increase capacity not reduce it, thirdly, I don't want to sit elsewhere, I sing till I can't make another sound so I don't want to sit in silence elsewhere and fourthly for the 3rd time, THE SHED LOWER AND HARDING LOWER STAND ANYWAY!!! And I do know all the complications surrounding Stamford Bridge and the immediate area, I know it inside out.
