Terracing didn't kill people. It was fences and inadequate control.
Getting the basics right such as ticket only entry, a terrace with sections and your ticket will only allow you in that section to avoid over-crowding in other sections and so on. It can be done right & safely.

What makes anyone think we would be given that amount of leg room for a game!
What is actually more dangerous is children having to stand on seats if they are in something like the R block. Know I shouldnt take them in there, but atmosphere is what can make a game that much more special
This is the sort of thing people should be tweeting TF with rather than the abuse he gets

I'm all for the return of safe terracing, push our capacity to say 25,000 and we can stay at LR
I'm pretty sure safe standing wouldn't increase our capacity, I believe there are regulations that you can only be a maximum of 12 seats away from an aisle for emergency evacuation reasons, these regulations won't change for safe standing where you'd have a designated position to stand, so unless you could fit more rows in which I'm sure we couldn't then the capacity won't change. Therefore it would never happen at Loftus Road, and many other grounds, as the club would be paying out for the removal of seats & installation of safe standing whilst getting no financial benefit from it. Safe standing would only be an option in newly built stands & stadiums, hopefully it could be an option when we move.

Sure that is right. The explanation has always been that you take out two rows of seats and instal teh safe standing option... which is why it appears on the video to have loads of leg room. For new stadia it would be a good option as there are many who hate having to stand with teh current seating arrangements at any ground, let alone the safety issue of going over the seats in front

Wont ever happen !! Clubs esp in the Prem want to charge us up to £100 to sit If we start standing then they can only charge us £20 These clubs couldn't give a rats a&se if it's safe or not They will give it the "think of those at hillsborough" line When in reality they just want to keep raping us at the Turnstiles Same as that scudamore he will never give in to standing As he knows we may go back to how things were And that will never do as he just wants to pimp our game Out to Asians & Americans

There really is no reason to stop all-seater stadia (or even just half the ground) coming back following the German model. Any move to get it done though would be instantly jumped on by the Scallies, conveniently ignoring the fact of crowd mismanagement and CAGES being entirely to blame for Hillsborough. Plus, such a move would have to be ratified by those utter b@stards at the FA, who are just one step down from the clueless shitcúnts at FIFA who think it's a good idea to have a World Cup in a tiny country where summer hits 50 degrees, and then move the whole spectacle to winter We'll never have the game back while these corrupt, clueless sonsabitches are running it
