When you're away it's different. We're talking about home fans. Try standing up in row E of the North Stand for the whole game. I'm sure someone behind you or a steward will tell you to sit down. Atleast in a safe standing area, fans will be standing all game every game.
1 for 2 would be amazing and would allow the North to hold about 6,000. How many did the old North Stand hold? At the moment we haven't got the fans to fill it.
Seems Paul Barber doesn't want to go down the 1 for 2 route because we would have to increase the size of the for vormitoires and...
For a trail, yes. But even so, atleast it will be a designated area and fans won't have the fear of being told off by a steward.
I have a feeling a lot more fans in the North would like to stand, it's not just the back 4 rows that want to.
Where I stand in the North, there's always the risk of smashing your shins on the seat in front, or someone falling over the chair from behind onto you during a goal celebration. I think safe standing would be a lot safer.
I think the whole point is have the whole stand being able to stand. The atmosphere in the North Stand is much better when everyone is standing, but of course that is frowned upon by the stewards.
