Bearing in mind that I have stewarded at both Old Trafford and the JJB stadium, the issue about standing is purely for safety reasons (came in after Hillsborough). In fact whilst stewarding at Old Trafford the local authority threatened to close one stand down due to fans wishing to stand. I can sympathise with those who prefer the old fashioned terracing but Ground Safety is every fans concern.
