They have to stand to do their high sixes with each other!

Garbage. Don't blame the fans for poor designs of stadiums. Forcing people to sit is like forcing people to smoke.

Yep, stood on a crate in the chicken run. When my dad took me into the West, I stood on the seat if its denizens roused themselves enough to stand and shout. That may have been rather infrequent.

I have a work colleague who is a STH at Chelsea and sits behind one of the goals. A couple of weeks ago, everyone was standing and a photographer walked along in front of the stand videoing people. At the time they thought nothing of it, but he was saying that someone from the club has tipped them off that they will be getting a mail telling them that they have been spotted persistently standing and will be subject to having their st cancelled if it happens once more.
This happened at old Trafford not long ago. It is nothing new as chatting with some of the FC United fans a few years ago, as part of the reasons for leaving the club and setting up a new one( apart from the hatred of everything that the premier came to stand for) was the treatment of fans and the dictatorial nature of the club.
Until so called safe standing comes into being, this is going to be a ongoing problem for fans

we could always ask the club-- whats your stand/row/seat no ----------------only kidding don't tell us !
I've never seen so many people in so many different parts of the ground stand throughout as when we were at Old Trafford a few weeks ago. I commented on it at the time.
It would be really great if someone made a thread on safe standing.
Innit.
Innit.

The one almost in front of us, jumps up and down on his. It won't be long before he breaks it.

Is the logical and sensible solution. The Taylor report is now dated and due to 'facts' coming to light after years of cover up, is largely discredited; although no fault of Taylor who could only act on the evidence presented to him
Standing area's work safely in Europe, whether normal terracing or rail seating. BHAFC touched on the subject sometime ago, but seem to have kicked the subject into the long grass. At the moment, hands are tied until the government changes the law. However, the Campaign for Safe Standing is continually campaigning to get a change in the law.
I understand people want to sit. Fine. Let them, but in an area where everyone is the same mindset. The current situation isn't working. Separate standing areas are the way forward. It would also help transform stadia in the top tier from the sterile happy clappy libraries that many have become.
I mentioned this on a thread the other week (that was about people standing at Norwich as well). My daughter's boyfriend is a STH at Old Trafford and always stands for the whole game, as do all the people around him. He says he's had 'several' letters over the years threatening to cancel his ST, he's ignored them and Man U have never carried out their threats. Given the huge waiting list there is for Man U STs you'd think they wouldn't mind making an example of a few as there would be no shortage of replacements (and perhaps they do), but Man U, like other clubs, also know that the 'standers' form the engine that generates the atmosphere. Ban them and it really will be all daytrippers and tourists.
