All this two-ing and fro-ing, I'm still non the wiser on what safe standing (in front of your own ticket-allocated fold-up seat) actually brings to the party. Now. If you are selling a safe-standing ticket to the North Stand, and you can just rock up on matchday and go and stand wherever you...

For me this always falls down on one fundamental point. Unless you can all gather up and go and stand where you want, then seriously whats the point of "safe standing" ? Its no different from having an allocated seat. You're still going through the same rigmarole of being allocated a seat in a...

I'm very "meh" on the whole safe standing at the Amex thing, as I wouldn't give my seat up in the WSU for it. The only way it might pique my interest a little more, is if each safe standing area was NOT designated - ie you buy a ticket to the safe standing stand, and just go and stand where you...
