| 13 English clubs back pilot scheme to bring back standing fan sections Posted by TN Bhoy I support this  on 12/11 at 2:23 pmquote: Reply • Back to Top |
I do as well. Pretty sure Villa were the first English club to suggest bringing back safe terraces.  Reply • Back to Top |
| I've read a good bit about this the past couple days and I support it. Reply • Back to Top |
| Just realize at the end of the article they mentioned possibly introducing nets around the field to prevent incidents like the one on Sunday. I definitely do not support that. Reply • Back to Top |

| I like the idea, I just worry about the timing of it, considering all of the press this year about Hillsborough. Reply • Back to Top |
| @david_conn: And re @The_FSF standing campaign: Villa, their fans and their police want to trial a standing area, but not allowed. LINK Reply • Back to Top |
| I don't know much about the subject, but are fans not allowed to stand in their seats at games? Or is this just trying to bring back standing only sections? Reply • Back to Top |
quote: I don't know about lower leagues, but at least in the EPL, every seat is a "seat", every seat has a ticket. Fans *can* stand, but usually, it's only the supporters' groups that do. Are you familiar with the Hillsborough and Heysel disasters? Those are what brought this about. Reply • Back to Top |
| I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around what they are talking about. Reply • Back to Top |

| Uefa won't allow this so this is a non-starter...all seaters were required after the aforementioned disasters... Reply • Back to Top |
| It's allowed in Germany for league matches. During European competitions, the seats have to be placed down. UEFA's rules on stadiums only apply to its competition. I guess the idea of long metal bleachers, as in American stadiums, doesn't really appeal to Europeans. Reply • Back to Top |
| Whats the pros for an all standing area? Reply • Back to Top • Refresh |
