Surprised he was only asked about Hamill's contract and not the manager or George Williams. I can't understand the pedestrian approach to getting those two signed up when someone could easily come in and take them away for nothing given how successful they've both been in the last 3 months.
"Not a bad shout. Although a problem would exist with the side of the ponty end blocking half the view" The view wouldn't be blocked if they put the steps and barriers back on the corner area, just the way it used to be on that corner. Stood there for years as a young 'un. Only downside to it was you got wet if it rained, or you walked into the ponty. It's only a blocked view where everybody congregates for a pint and a *** just the other side of the turnstyles
We already have a standing area in the Ponty. As usual its a few selfish knobs who spoil the game for loads of others, and as usual the stewards do sod all about it. Been going on for years, I can even remember emailing PRiddy about it.
I really don't get the clamour for safe standing. I've always believed it to be a retrograde step. Standing on a crowded, uncomfortable terrace at Burton Albion the other week (in a ground which, based on it's capacity, could supposedly fit 2,000 more people inside that day) did nothing to change my view.
He was asked about 'everyone else', and just responded by going off on one about players developing here and potentially taking us up or moving on etc etc. Sent from my I-Oven using the internets
please correct me if im wrong on safe standing and im sure someone can find a link or picture to something... but isnt safe standing just a collapsed seat that folds up into a place behind you so you cant trip or fall over it , obviously in place of the current fold up one you get now , the standing area then being the place you'd put your legs when sat, to facilitate the safe aspect theres a huge metal bar in front of you to stop you cascading down the terrace. so nothing like anyone remembers or wants. cant see the point myself.
Didn't realise it went that far back. So it would only be right at the top and right next to ponty which would be impacted. So not much at all
