Exactly , fans need to know that they are not breaking the law , they are breaking ground regulations.
Could you point to some evidence to confirm this please? I may be wrong, but i'm not aware of any incidents of this. Some clubs have been punished for persistently standing in the AISLES.
...... not a criminal offence but that doesnt mean acting legally. The club in allowing standing risks having its licence and ultimately league membership revoked but maybe that isnt a concern for "fans".
Are you a sth in the North Stand and do you stand throughout the game?
Like f*** they will,...........i assume that the 2,000 Forest supporters will also be told to sit in their seats.
Last season , Sunderland v Man United. This season Blackpool v Leeds United. I could dig out lots more games if you wishCould you point to some evidence to confirm this please?

NO IT DOESN'T!!!!!
The Taylor report states that Clubs in the Championship must provide all-seated stadia within 3 years of promotion.
There is NO criminal law banning individuals from standing within a stadium. The Taylor Report states that clubs in the top two divisions in England must provide seats, not that the supporters must sit in them...
Even the Department of Culture, Media & Sport acknowledge that..."At no point has it
been argued that the individual spectator commits a criminal offence by standing in a seated
area"
The law is that supporters should not persistently stand in an all seater stadium whilst "play is in progress".

10. Nobody may stand in any seating area whilst play is in progress. Persistent standing in seated
areas whilst play is in progress is strictly forbidden and may result in ejection from the Ground.
Notice: Entry to the Ground is expressly subject to acceptance by the visitor of these Ground Regulations and the rules and regulations of FIFA, UEFA, The Football Association, The F.A. Premier League and The Football League in respect of the relevant competition. The Ground Regulations incorporate the Club's Customer Charter (if any). Entry to the Ground shall constitute acceptance of the Ground Regulations.

You may however commit a civil offence and certainly stand (see what I did there?) to lose your season ticket.

That sounds a bit pompous. Do you really think we will have our League membership revoked ?
You're breaking the rules People who know better than you are upset you have made an informed judgement on risk assessmentWe stood for the whole game at Palace and the whole game at Charlton, no one died, no one was hurt, what is the problem?

Spoke to a good friend of mine today who's had his ban overturned for so called inciting the crowd in the north stand,all north stand season ticket holders will shortly be receiving a letter from the club telling them what's expected of the fans in terms of behaviour and standing rules.
