Amex to become part standing .......... ?

I can see them doing it for two reasons I think it will happen 1. Revenue and 2. The punters want it. To deny the punter what he wants is daft. the club listened on the beer thing and well, I think they are glad they did. Listening and responding to the punter is what its all about in all industries. Football no different.

Introducing beer is one thing, not the huge cost it would be to rip out seating and then have to install safe standing, would cost the club 10's of thousands if not 100's of thousands of pounds, which on top of ffp is a pretty stupid idea.

Not for me. I love my WSU seat, with a bit of non-persistant standing.

But I think there should be an element of choice in the lower tier.

However, I'd feel sorry for those who like where they are and would have to move if their section was converted and they still wanted to sit.

I think it would be perfect at The Amex, take a look at some of these stadiums in Europe .....

I think it will be fantastic - Derby have been supporters of it for quite some time so really looking forward to standing in a 45,000 crowd at the iPro!!

Loved standing on the terraces and it's been great visiting places like P'boro (until recently) and Yeovil where you could still do it. Heart would say "yes" to this at the Amex but fear it might end up being a disappointment seeking to recreate Goldstone nostalgia when those days have long gone. On balance would probably stay with seats.
