I think it does aid the atmosphere. If one stand was solely used for safe standing and people who wanted to sing / stand congregated there, it would generate a better atmosphere IMO opinion.

No-one is suggest a return to the past, as far as I know most terracing didn't have a barrier in every row and a seat there in case you've qualified for Europe!

Then you go in the 'seated' area. Nobody is suggesting converting entire grounds.

Either way it's better than having 100% forced seating areas in which 1,000's of people stand !!
