With the upcoming talks on safe standing coming back. What are peoples opinions on it?
I think it would be a great idea, would sort out having one area designated as standing as oppose to day trippers trying to sit in areas which are considered standing by the fans. Probably just implement it where people already stand.
Could really help the atmosphere. |  |

Would love it.
Hate sitting through the games, but you need to at the Liberty at the moment with kids being behind you etc (great to see the younger lot at the games by the way), an area of standing would be great for atmosphere aswell. |  | | |

Absolutely, bring it in.
East upper, asbo corner is obvious place to start. |  |

When I look at photos of a terrace at other stadiums of the safe standing areas the spaces always looks slightly bigger than the seated area spaces and if that's right it's never going to happen at the Liberty in its current state. |  |

Your spot on Daz regarding the space,ss is highly controlled with only a certain number of fans in each row from what I can understand. | | | |

We've got to replace unsafe standing with safe standing. Sooner rather than later too. Some people prefer it as it adds to their match day experience. |  | | |

It may well be that if controlled SS were to be introduced then no other standing would be allowed in the stadium. | | | |

An effective crowd control system/stadia design would make standing perfectly safe IMO. Using outside stadia barrier filtration, CCTV, stewards, police, all ticket entry and turnstiles that shut upon overcapacity would prevent a Hillsborough. If supporters are sensibly corralled in safe volume of number there should no danger.
Also a segregating-pen fencing system should be a complete and utter no-no because it does not act as a pressure/crush release and can actually do the complete opposite i.e. cause a crush. All standing areas should be completely unfenced and open from one side to another. |  |

I stand all day in work, I want to sit down to watch the footie. From a scenic point of view, safe standing area's make the stadium look ugly. |  |

Thinking about it, I wonder how the PTB would ensure that only a certain amount of people would be allowed into the SS area? | | | |

My understanding is that you're ticket still has a block, row and seat(place) number on it. Just there is no seat and a barrier or rail in front, so you stay in the same place, just standing up. | |

Yeh same here, dont know why but it feels like youre more involved standing. Yeh with kids or people unable to stand it is a bit unfair. A few times at away games ive swapped with people behind me just so i could stand.
If it changed would really help as itd be just a standing area, everyone would know beforehand | |

Correct. I'm not sure if they are slightly larger or not in terms of space but it works in the same way as it does now. We'd still have a designated space to stand instead of sit. Some clubs use foldaway seats in each space as well, so the option to sit is still there. |  |

It's currently set up as 1:1 to the seating, so there would be no loss of capacity. Because UEFA don't allow terraces in the CL/EL clubs would presumably go for the rail seats which can be altered depending on the game. |  | | |

Yes, this is to make it super-safe, so that politicians can have less objection.
I'd love to stand. It's not football when you have to sit. |  | | |

Doesn't have to mean you have to allow extra people in, can just replace a seat for one standing spot, so that the capacity is the same. |  | | |

Why would the stadium management company or club spend millions renovating the stadium when it doesn't increase the capacity? |  |

Spending millions? It's only minor alterations. Celtic just did it to Celtic Park with no increase in capacity. [Post edited 1 Dec 2016 18:26]
