‘Standing accommodation is not intrinsically unsafe’ -Lord Justice Taylor 1989
People are allowed to stand at rock concerts in football grounds. If this is safe why is it not for football supporters?
Just a couple of quotes from http://www.standupsitdown.co.uk/
OK, this thread could go on forever, but I think the main grievance from the fans is that no clear communication was made to those standing of being ejected. I was sat just in front of the Ultras and certainly heard nothing, to be hi-jacked at half time is fairly poor behaviour and very snide IMO. Like Macca said, there are some grounds I will not go back to next season, mainly due to the behaviour of the stewards.
I've even considered not going to the Crown because of some of the charmless souls the club employs
If people feel strongly join the ongoing protest, (link above), or sign the petition or both. Don't moan, organise! I think I've suggested a mass boycott of the ground which has the worst stewarding earlier in the season. That could cost Rochdale, for instance, £15,000.
The debate is also going on in Parliament about re-introducing standing areas, obviously don't hold your breath.
In the meanwhile we'll have to use our nouse, and look out for each other.
