Fans, in the Norff in particular, stand anyway. It seems to 'work' as it does at away matches.
Those that don't wish to join in, don't.
Really don't understand the need to spend all of that money when safe standing, in effect, is already in place.
By making it a finite, designated space then...
Where do I start? Guest lighting, ales and pies are all incoming generating factors.
The padded seats, a welcome bonus.
We make a fair old noise in our bit without having purpose built standing bars, and usually the same tune en mass to boot.
Personal indulgences, whether it be safe standing or eating Nigella's meringue followed by a Happy Ending during the game are individual choices, and not part of the match day experience
Would cost a few quid with NO increase in crowd size, as previously mentioned by PB. ST price increase anyone?
