Railed standing

Railed standing

Please don’t support us going back thirty years.
I was at Hillsborough and never want to see those scenes again.
This is nothing more than a revenue generating scheme .
Just think now how uncomfortable it can be at away matches when the away end is full and everyone stands up.

I appreciate that anyone who was at Hillsborough that day will have such awful memories. But nobody is suggesting going back to massively over populated terraced stands with little safety and definitely not deadly fences at the front.

Standing up at away games is a problem close to me. Every club does it now. I'm fine to stand up but my Dad is 75 and whilst he can stand up, why should he if he wants to sit and watch the game as he does like a lot of others do, not necessarily older people either, people with small kids are knackered as well.

I think away ends should be divided up into an option for both. Standing in the back half, seated in the lower half and if you don't manage to get a ticket in the upper but still try and stand you're a twat and you're booted out.

I completely agree: choice is the way forward.
Anything to avoid coked-up giants blocking my view when I've paid the same as them.
