Agree with most of what you are saying however, the vast majority of fans who want to stand have done so on traditional terracing, whether over 20 years ago at the Goldstone or at some of the away grounds that aren't yet all seater but certainly aren't rail seating or something similar. I agree...

On the basis that no one has ever watched an Albion home game from safe standing positions (obviously) and that the last time anyone legally stood to watch an Albion home game was nearly 20 years ago then for most it is a trip down memory lane. Safe standing will be a different experience.

I'm not against you standing and I understand why fans want to do. I stood for many years at the Goldstone. The point I'm making is that those that want to stand should also pay for doing it. Hardly anything wrong with that. No one is expecting those in the North to subsidize those in 1901...

Maybe you're the moron because if you read my post it was in response to someone else claiming it was for everyone!!!!! The atmosphere would improve if everyone who sang in the north stand had seasons tickets together or they chose to sing the same songs at the same time. Personally, don't...

:facepalm:

How many of those calling for safe standing do so because they have experienced it elsewhere? I suspect very few so you can surmise from that it is about those that remember standing on the terrace for home games nearly 20 years ago. There will of course be those that stood at the odd away...

Why is it possible? They have said they favour the one for one system as presumably that will avoid making a lot of other changes to exits, concourses etc and the consequent legal battle to get the capacity increased. As for cost, anyone who wants to stand should pay the premium for the...

Why the **** should I pay for some nostalgic trip for a minority. Charge the £166 to the 3000 that want to stand on top of their entrance fee.

Don't worry, I'm not trying to. I take the view that if the law changes and the club want to provide this for what I think will be a minority then that minority can pay for the conversion costs in their ticket prices rather than mine. I'm happy with my padded seat right next to an aisle in...

I think you'll find with rail seating the seat is actually locked in the up position so you don't get to use it at half time!!

There is a big difference between a sparsely populated terrace in the lower leagues and what would be packed terraces in the premier league and championship. As I understand it, safe standing means you get an allocated space where as what some remember as the glory days was the ability to stand...

And there would be even more empty seats than there are now!!!

You're being deliberately obtuse. The people who are likely to be interested in standing are likely to be those that like the atmosphere and they are likely to be those in North stand (many of whom already stand). Let's be honest, those that legally stood to watch the Albion play (at home) did...

Not sure that makes sense. If safety certificate allows and modification to exits made etc, you could have 2 for 1 or 1.5 for 1 for matches designated as allowing standing and sell tickets accordingly and, when seats are mandatory, you sell tickets for the seats only. It only needs a bit of...

There will be a cost for converting areas to safe standing so surely that should be bourne by those that want to stand!

Do you know anything about the Bradford fire? Exactly what fences exacerbated the problem?
