Safe Standing Roadshow
Good evening one and all.
We at the Safe Standing Roadshow need your support for Don Fosters Bill to give football clubs the freedom to build safe standing areas.
This is not a proposal for the return of terracing, but an introduction of German style, high railed standing areas.
We want supporters to have a choice whether they stand or sit at football games. The introduction of safe standing areas gives this as a safe way to stand without obstructing those who wish to remain seated.
Parliament are not against the principal, however they believe there is not enough demand. It is so important that we get your support.
If you want to stand, or want those who stand to have their own area in the ground please sign the FSF Petition http://www.fsf.org.uk/petitions/safesta ... &page=sign" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Re: Safe Standing Roadshow
No thanks, I like sitting down. It's far comfier.
Re: Safe Standing Roadshow
I'm already signed up for this. Think we should be allowed the choice. Prefer standing, always seems to have a better atmosphere too.
Re: Safe Standing Roadshow
Prefer to sit. Never understood the love for standing and never will. It's the 21st century folks, not the 1930s. What next? Big rosettes and rattles?

ooh - yes please!!
but what I'd really like is to bring back flat caps and throwing them in the air (or waving them) when we score....
flat caps should be an entry requirement for the reebok

Re: Safe Standing Roadshow
Freedom of choice? Or is that to be eroded along with many of the other advances our society made in the last century (health service, welfare state, politics that mean anything)?ratbert wrote:Prefer to sit.

Re: Safe Standing Roadshow

yeah - I think (as a consequence) the loosely arranged unsecured cardboard block terrace seating plan has been abandoned...

Re: Safe Standing Roadshow
I'm all for standing. Fans should be given a choice.

Re: Safe Standing Roadshow
In the 'old' days, standing in a full stand with waves of movement pushing you toward the goal, or lifting you off your feet and being returned to almost your starting position,
accompanied by raucus singing, a sweat on your brow, through fear more than excitement was a truly great experience. Yet, times move on; I've moved on. To stand today would only bring a huge raft of health and safety measures designed to take away that real experience; when standing in a full ground took little or no heed of the the measures we have in place today. Personal judgement in such matters has been eroded, never to return. Clubs would be scared sh*tless if anything went wrong, and that is the main reason standing will never return to premier league clubs. (and I don't want people pissing down my leg)

Re: Safe Standing Roadshow
Surely in the third type of barrier, where the seats lock away, you would just end up with a barrier straight across your eyeline when sat down?
