Signed enough of these and nothing has happened, anyway I stand at the Reebok and if anything I prefer standing in front of a seat. This is because I can get the same location with the same group of mates every match, without having to get in the ground an hour and a half before kick off in order to get a good spot.

Seems a no-brainer to me as long as they can do it in a way that doesn't mess with people who want to sit. Seems obvious that the way they do it in Germany, for example, has dealt with all the concerns which led to all-seater grounds in the first place.

We'd have to keep the seats, for when Dougie takes us back into Europe.

I've only been to a hand full of matches in England so I'm not quite sure on the rules, I assume your not allowed to stand but people do because no one does anything about it ? In certain sections are the stewarts stricter ? E.g. In the North stand at the Reebok a man in front of me clearly had a few but wasn't acting dangerously but he would get up and shout/sing then he went to the toilet and never came back so I can only assume the stewarts who were watching him, put him out

They are very quick to make HOME fans sit .... yet utterly ignore 1,000's of away ones who stand throughout.

Even Souse shite fans .... you know, the ones who bleat 'Hillsborough' at anyone who even mutters the idea of having standing areas !!
Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

I can't stand it. Standing that is. You can do what you want but I sit. Same in pubs, I especially hate the feckless barstewards that literally litter the front of the bar with their standing. We need standards not standings, Sitters Unite.
That's not a leopard!

Beats me why, when we have a superb, totally safe stadium and everybody has a seat with a top class view, people still want to stand up? I spent years on the embankment end getting pushed, crushed, arguing with mannerless idiots who only cared about themselves and having to fight your way to the slopstones for a pxss. Okay, that's how it was and we enjoyed it anyway, but compared to the Reebok it was medieval. You really want to go back to that?
