HARTLEPOOL United have requested that Reds supporters remain seated during Saturday's match at Victoria Park.</p> The Reds have been allocated less than 1000 tickets for the clash at Hartlepool in the Rink End Stand, which is all seated.</p> Persistent standing in seating areas of stadiums is under scrutiny by the Football Licensing Authority and Hartlepool United have strongly requested that supporters remain in their seats throughout the game. <font color="#ff0000">Persistent offenders may be evicted from the stadium</font></p>
If we're allowing hartlepool to dominate and bully us out of the game like they undoubtedly will, then I shall be permanently stood up in the hope of eviction.
All (1000 ish) of us should stand up Similar to when the announcer at Oakwell said something about remaining seated (against Port Vale Tuesday night), followed by "Stand up for the Barnsley" and the whole Ponty end got up and sang. That made my night.
Why? If that "fight" came to fruition we'd probably get docked points knowing our luck, not sure what benefit that is. My night against Port Vale certainly wasn't "made" by the fact the Ponty End stood up and shouted, it was ruined by Cummins' equaliser and our failure to beat a crap side.
I wonder if this has come about because of Man U shited fans??? Every time they are away they always stand up and nothing gets done about it. One rule for the big clubs springs to mind!!!!
