In Germany people stand up to watch football.

In France people stand up to watch football.

At rugby, people stand up to watch.

At the races people stand up to watch.

At golf, people stand up to watch.

Please can we have an area for standing spectators at Deepdale?

The seats have gone out of fashion.

Sorry but the club would be breaking the rules if it allowed standing.

Hillsborough

and a thirdly a phrase:

"Public Liability"

No club in the land would be allowed to do it by the authorites, and no club in the land would be able to insure against a crush type scenario.

No chance of it happening, just stand in your seated space like the rest of us do 😉 .

If there'd been terracing at Derby on Saturday there could have been a riot.

Like Oooooof - I say - stand up if you want a bit of atmosphere.

Just thought I'd see if anyone on this website remembers football when there was an atmosphere at football grounds.

Oh, you forgot to mention Bradford, when 56 or so people died in the seats at Valley Parade.

I stand up to watch Hereford, who are a club in this land. Are they included in your nonsensical generalisations?
 
Re: Safe Terraces

There was an investigation into standing areas after the new laws came in. It found that providing there are sufficient crush barriers they are actually safer than seating ( due to evacuating incase of fires etc). The atmosphere will never be as good as it was at football games unless they bring standing back).
 
Re: Safe Terraces

Am all for safe standing like in Germany, could also do with their pricing policy... but I'll never forget when that Bozo Tony Blair was on Football Focus and I think it was Manish Bhasin asked him if standing would ever be allowed back to footy grounds.... He just shook his head and gave the cheesy grin.... its a fruitless task even writing about safe standing!!
