    Run by amateurs. It should never have happened in the first place and now they have to make changes spending cash we could do without spending.

    Edit I misread the minutes (see where you are coming from.) I was as gobsmacked as anyone when the news was released prior to the Bolton game (as you well know) How on earth the supposed survey didn't identify that blocked vision was an issue. Is beyond me. If the thought was, well let's wait and see cos some of the buggers stand up anyway I'm baffled as it encourages standing by all in that area. The group (as opposed to the FAB) to the best of my knowledge certainly weren't aware.

    Disagree. Some fans want it. And so do i. Just to be able to sit without some fekker blocking mi view. Safe standing is being rolled out among many clubs. if they get permission granted. And hopefully reduces the chances of having views spoiled. Only takes a few to stand up and the domino effect spoils it for all. And for those who say it should be policed. Good luck with that one. I've yet to go to a ground where folk en mass are refusing and arguing the toss. Get ejected. An impossible task.
    The cost to remove will be a fraction of installation.

    Seems 55&C is aware re the review they posted . Of what may happen.

    In reference pointing to your post. Of the review.

    The reference Of cost was aimed at the poster I replied to re if safe standing was removed from that area.

    I maybe should have divided the 2. Nothing sinister. Altered it.
