Are we missing the point
We have automatically assumed that it is illegal to stand at a football match. I have searched high and low and can find no law that forbids fans standing. from what i can make out the sign at the front is a guideline.
I may be wrong, if someone can show me in black and white that this is a law then i will stand corrected.
I was at the match (sitting) but had no problem with the ultras standing. I had a heated discussion with a little round plump woman(a rochdale steward) who was taking her job a little too seriously.After my words with her in the halftime break she stayed at the front and didnt attempt to eject anyone after that. Probably on the advice of the police as she was the one causing the problem.
