Would you welcome them back? I liked standing, it was a good laugh at the games and cut it out all this sitting down standing up crap each time the action ended up at your end.

I'm too short to be able to see anything when everyone is standing up so I would have to go somewhere where there were still seats.
I like being in the Lower Gwladys for the atmosphere but I wouldnt fancy standing up.
I'd be happy enough to move I suppose. As long as we had a choice, can't see the problem. It's not for me though, too short and too old!
One POSSIBLE downside would be that the standing area, almost certainly behind the goal, would become a zone for the more vociferous and boisterous fans, just as it was in the 60's, 70's and 80's.
No problem with being vocal and boisterous per se but would that area end up becoming a no-go area for youngsters, families and dare I say it, women?
We all have choices and if bad language offends then move away but the great thing about GP at the moment is that despite getting on in years, being female and from a relatively sheltered background
, I feel comfy being anywhere in the ground. It certainly wasnt like that 30 years ago. You went to the match expecting trouble of some description.
It would be a shame to potentially create no go areas but I can see the attraction of the standing/singing area.
With the PC/H&S brigade all powerful though, it will take a miracle to get it past those who are afraid of every potential incident becoming a lawsuit!

Its never going to happen though. The fear of Hillsborough is too much for anyone to take the decision.

Yeah, but its not up to Wyness is it? The Hillsborough lot would oppose it streneously and it just woudn't happen.

Terraces didn't kill anyone, it was the fencing that caused the majority of the problems, if the fans could have spilled onto the pitch then there would have been less deaths, not discounting that some would have still died through the actions of the police and fans in the tunnel.
I wouldn't mind putting standing areas back into the game, alternatively you could have seating/standing like they do in the cheap areas of Italian games. Concrete seating, no plastic seats. At the start of the match you can get a seat to eat your Pie and Bovril then stand on it to watch the match.

There should be a stand where it is tolerated for fans to stand in front of their seat

TBH it was great when I was younger. I notice some baseball grounds undertaking a limited look into terrace assignments these days. Seems to me you can get a little more excitment while in a upright position at the game. I think it has it place and should be welcomed back under certain circumstances.

Did you used to go in the Gwladys St when it was terracing when you were younger? Did you have your own spec like some did?
