I’d love to be able to stand all game but no longer can.
At away games I’ve never had a problem even at those grounds which “insist” you use your ‘ticketed’ location. A polite word with someone who is standing near the front has always resulted in an exchange.
I wonder if something similar might work for those who can no longer stand but have someone standing in front of them at home games.
Whilst STs are in such demand it’s not that easy to change location officially.

Which is exactly what I've done (WSL) All those advocating moving to the front haven't had the dubious pleasure of trying to squeeze into the space between the seat and the wall at the front at either Molineux or Old Trafford. What is more remarkable is the ignorance shown by many of our supporters who just take the piss.

People who insist on standing when they are supposed to sit is what is wrong with football in this day and age!
I'm sorry but if fans in the row in front of me at the Amex stood during games blocking my view l would be vey upset indeed. And no before anyone asks, I don't travel away, where l know fans stand throughout the game.

You've got 3 other stands to choose from where you're guaranteed to sit down for 90 minutes.
Stop trying to ruin it for other people you selfish tosser

Move, you should know unofficially people want to stand in the North. If you didn’t, then you must be a JCL. Or if you could only get a seat in the north, again, you’re a JCL. Had plenty of years to move around the stadium if noisey standing isn’t you’re cuppa. It’s ironic you call people selfish when I’d say you’re epitomising that for expecting the world to revolve around your perspective.

I consider being made to sit, when my natural instinct is to be up on my feet, is inconsiderate and what is wrong with football in this day and age. You're advocating the lack of choice because of a bogus report I presume?

The north stand has the cheapest seats, so it could be economics rather than being a jcl.

Why are you calling supporters who want to sit in a seat they have paid for "boring''. Does standing up miraculously make you interesting?

I thought he was. Don't tell me he really is that short.Offer to swap seats and if she keeps doing that she could end up at the front with only Maty in front of her she will probably ask him to sit down as well!

I think the key to this debate is the word SEAT, it is there to be sat on!
Yeah ..... at half time!

The group I go with used to sit roughly where we sit now (the NS, just to the side of the goal about midway up), then we moved to the corner of the North, before moving back as we decided we couldn't abide sitting down the whole game (and the total lack of atmosphere that that brings with it). We've ended up back in the same area that our original seats were in and I don't think I've sat down for any portion of any game since.
I'm not sure what my point is - maybe it's that I'm one of the selfish standers (although everyone around me stands) or maybe it's that we all have a choice to move seats to sit/stand as we choose. Either way, I can't honestly say I've had anything approaching a safety issue in my years of standing at football grounds.

Thank the Lord most posters on here don't 'sit' in front of me!

Except for away fans at the AMEX of course. really grips me that they get to stand every game without the constant wittering from the stewards that home fans face.
