I often have to sit in the Jarrold and the Barclay is very rarely seated, I do enjoy the stewards giving the away fans a tough time about standing though even if it does annoy me when i''m told to sit away from home.

And what about those who aren''t able to stand for long periods of time?

 

Personally i''m all for standing, but it''s not as simple as having the bo*****s or not to stand.

Don''t they choose where to buy their tickets for? If I wanted to be sure to sit I''d go River End or join the Jarrolds family. Hardcore area seats are surely less likely to be available anyway... correct me if I''m wrong.

I wonder why they only seem to have the b*lls to bully small groups of inoffensive visitors but when the likes of Leeds and Millwall roll into town you''d never guess they were there at all.One thing I''ve noticed in on all my away trips this year was how easy going the stewards were towards us. Must be because there''s so many of us there they think we''re like a big city mob and look the other way.........

Steady...I see what you''re doing there, morty. A whole new meaning to Pay Per View in the private members'' area. Yuck.

Maybe by hardcore seats I meant exceptionally robust internally reinforced seating solutions.

I like your idea of per-minute seat charging - or they could simply remove them and call it, say, "terracing"!

I think we should adapt what the germans have done and have certain areas of the ground as safe terracing for those that want to stand.....

The club should charge them a premium for standing.

Ha ha Morty, I only use my seat at half time, or to stand on it to see the team parading around the pitch. To be honest I do pay less than those in areas where it''s obligatory to sit, ie the South Stand or City Stand middle areas. I don''t actually care much about the price of my seat, it''s a fair price across the whole season. I have to agree that the D and E block seats at the back are rarely available, I had to wait years to get one up there.

Legally of course we are all required to sit down throughout the game, but in reality some of us get too excited to sit there completely unmoved. If fans who want to remain seated are worried about not seeing the game, then there are more areas in the ground than not where they can view the action uninterrupted.

I too agree that the away fans should be allowed to stand and support if they want to. Barclay D and E blocks do.

Hence I''m in the upper Barclay, maybe we''ll move down as they get older and taller.[:)]

Mr Whittle, hats off to you - totally agree.

I''ve enjoyed many a game on continental ''Tribünen'' (terraces).

Making it work safely comes down to (1) not leading people all to crush into one enclosure (2) not having cages to stop people escaping in emergencies (3) applying a basic crowd safety system including having a valid ground safety certificate.

Hmm! Overly aggressive policing tends to backfire, at least with English footie fans..

But...yes, that would make me sit down, b****x or no b****x!

Well. if you want to stand up, I am sure the Club will be more than happy to take the seats out !! that way you will get more fans in, then what will be said " Oh I am getting squashed !! " The only problem with standing up is,if the person behind doesn''t want to or can''t due to disability then their vision is obscured of the game.. but if you want to stand up feel absolutely free to do so..
