If you had the choice to:

a. Stand at Falmer

b. Sit at Falmer

which would you prefer to do?

I would also stand. Why don't they have a stand behind one of the goals, they do this in Hamburg and it works very well (I've been there - great atmosphere)??? ? The 'New North Stand'...

There is a campaign to bring back safe standing.

Maybe by the time we get Falmer it will be allowed - it would save money on seats

this would be a good moment for someone to post a link to the safe standing campaign

I'm at work at the moment so haven't got access to my favourites.

I think it was the footballfans census site. There are various campaigns going like keep Saturday football etc

Try a search on footballfans census?

I'll post a link when I get home

super nova said:
why isnt standing allowed anymore?
was it because of the taylor report or something?
How can standing be unsafe?

i like standing, but there is always a really tall person in front of you:angry:

It followed the Hillsborough disaster. Fans were crushed.

Crush barriers can be used though and the beauty of standing is that you can move if someone tall stands in front of you
