Safe Standing

Brilliant idea.

Bring some atmosphere and adrenaline back to oakwell!!!

 

Not much in late 80's early 90's when there was standing

Not a fan of standing anymore </p>

 

Excactly, Nearer the away fans the better an all

 

Go back to the stand offs in the 80's - no thanks nt

 

Think were past that?

 

Thats why only part of oakwell would be turned into standing.
So lazy people like you can still sit down!

Surely you agree that the atmosphere is better when you stand up!?

 

Did you not see the game at the weekend with Newcastle

Substitute them two for Barnsley v Weds or Barnsley V Birmingham - bring Leeds up next year and no we're not past it!

 

I wouldnt say lazy, thats the beauty of it, it could be optional, would encourage all the singing fans to get together and get a good atmosphere, i bet you would be suprised on the number of people that would want to stand.

 

People always say this but is it true? In the last 10 years, whenever I've stood up, the atmosphere has never been good, except maybe once or twice at Chesterfield.

 

So what!? nt

 

Not really and it's nothing to do with being lazy

Safety far more important factor - didn't like being thrown around or paying &pound;25 + and not being able to see

 

So your saying standing encourages that kind of behaviour?

 

So what - what's your point nt

 

I would love to stand

Always find me stood at the back at away games, thats where the atmosphere is!
Why go to a game and be boring!

 

No not a all - the point was putting the two fans closer together

No thanks

 

I;d start going again if I was allawed to stand

there attendance already up

 

RE: So what - what's your point nt

Better atmosphere invites bigger crowds!!
You can still sit in the east stand and be boring, dont worry!!

 

RE: I;d start going again if I was allawed to stand

I think the whole idea of sitting down and being boring puts most people off!!
Business wise it would be a great move from B.F.C

 

Don't sit in the East Stand - sit in the Ponty

Don't fancy standing again - doesn't make you boring . Grounds far safer now

 

Personally i much prefer standing, and if your allowed to stand up and have a pint at rugby, then why not football, because of an outdated report that was misinterpreted, and imo standing does encourage a better atmoshpere, look at the kops atmoshperes before stadiums were made all seaters.
