If the safety authorities/rules allow seats to be placed in front of terracing (and presumably that is being investigated by the Club) wouldn't some form of barrier need putting behind the seats (to protect them from crowd surge) possibly to meet their requirements and wouldn't those barriers reduce the available standing area possibly cutting capacity below the 5000 or whatever the League require? What if there was a crush between those barriers and the structural back of the Clayton End stand?
