    to standing up all game yesterday then?

    In my personal opinion I believe it creates a better atmosphere and makes the whole match day experience better.
    Makes me wish we could introduce a safe standing area at Oakwell but thats another story altogether.

    Great atmosphere, but not as good as sitting for actually watching the football.

    I much prefer it and dont think you get a worse view than sitting - but I am 6 foot tall which helps. Atmosphere much better and much more room for celebrating when we score

    Personally I loved it, when we scored our 4th I went from the back to the front and started dancing with people I didn't know. Makes me wish Safe Standing could happen fot those that want it.

    the terraces of the west stand could be the place

    could have a standing area for both sets of fans,the old tunnel is a natural devider for stewarding it too.

    Re: the terraces of the west stand could be the place

    Standing was ok, but being behind the goal was wierd, have always stood/sat on the halfway line, it's much better for seeing the action, enjoyed it for the change but prefer my usual position. Having said that, the atmosphere was electric, awsome, good day all round.

    I loved it but like many on here I grew up watching football from terraces so it was like going back to the old days. I dont know if I could do it every week anymore.

    Standing for me definitely,particularly when it's covered like at Peterborough.I'd weigh my seat in for a terrace anytime.

    Couldn't agree more

    Standing should never have been banned in the first place, classic Thatcher knee-jerk reaction.
