Yes. Poor maintenance lays some of the blame for the tragedy at the clubs door, if not maintained to safety standards, any structure for standing, or sitting, would be unsafe. Not allowing terracing because of a club's negligence in maintaining it safely is not the issue. It would not have been...

This. Hysel and Hillsborough were nothing to do with standing or sitting. In the case of Hillsborough, after 27 years, this has been finally confirmed. Gone are the days of any old nutter getting into football grounds. Terraces today would be fantastic in the PL.

Great point. There is nothing 'arguable' about the safety aspect. Fans standing in seating areas is a H&S nightmare, as you have a knee high barrier protecting you from toppling forward. It's completely un-safe, but tolerated by every club in the league - if not for sections of home fans, then...

Nope. Not at all. I'm saying that a financial ROI, (fans paying for it) is not a major factor in the decision making process. This may transpire as an issue if the club want to go down that road, we will see. ATM SS does not look likely to be even considered at BHA because there is no real...

Yes. They are talking about not reducing prices for standing and how the funding might be worked out. Nothing about 'we need to make money from this'. They would have to justify the spend as being in the best interests of the club/supporters IMHO.

My thoughts exactly. A curved section across the back and down the sides in the NS would let sitters munch on the prawn sarnies while the rest behind them party on.

Nothing in that article that would suggest money ROI is an obstacle, just the legislation standing in the way of the club needing to seriously consider it as an option, then safety being the next priority. There is an option, which is used in Europe where you can get 2 for 1 or 3 for every 2...

We could be seeing SS in the PL by the end of the season according to this. This article is bias towards the SS approach, coming from a firm that makes the kit, but there is a bit from THFC about bringing it in. Not bothering wth a poll, I know opinions are divided. Could help the NS create a...
