standing at the ground

[sirblue57]

not sure there is a thread on this, how many feel its about time to bring it back?

Great for young men that enjoy being sandwiched balls first up against the rear end of other young men, with other young men sandwiched up against their own rear end.

What do you mean, exactly?

 

[Alio]

You should always stand to wipe

Bring it back, obviously without the fences etc that caused the problems we are all aware of. Only drawback is there would need to be more security but there would be a likely reduce in cost for the average fan. Standing areas in ground level areas are a good idea imo.

I think the lower Gwladys should be standing only. There, I said it.

*runs away and trips over.

Good shout. I like terraces.

The Gwladys looked boss in the old footage of the standing days. The mayhem of the ReidscrossGray goal looked superb.

What about kids though? If everyone can stand up you're going to have problems seeing if you're little.

Lower gladys becomes adults only and you make other parts of the ground more accessible to families.

I wouldn't go near it myself if it was standing. I'm not sure many people would fancy it these days if they thought it through properly.

I don't really see why you'd want to stand. It's not like you're at a gig. You're watching the match. You've probably got a bottle of coke in one hand and a pastie in the other.

if they had looked at the problem without emotion in the first place, i think they would have gone in a different direction, the german model works. i used to love standing in the gwladys st, much more so than the stands. and since then we have had the sky boom, which has taken football and priced a lot of supporters out of the game.had that money been invested into the grounds,instead of the players and agents pockets, maybe we would have top quality stadiums were both seating and standing are accomodated.

This, basically.

I don't know about you mate but I spend the majority of the match stood up anyway. It's hard to describe why standing is a different experience but the gig comparison isn't a bad one actually. It feels like that.
