Not necessarily. Good article on it here: Enough room - Will safe standing increase capacity at SJP? -Safe standing means lower capacity doesn't it? Or have I got that wrong?
Safe standing means lower capacity doesn't it? Or have I got that wrong?
Are there any other football teams in the higher end English leagues that already have safe standing?
No change to capacity I’ve been told it’s in the minutes I thinkSafe standing means lower capacity doesn't it? Or have I got that wrong?
There’s still a place to perch I thinkThis would be a great addition to the ground, and the match day experience.
I hope then everyone who wants to stand moves to the corner.
I get that some people like standing, but not every can, or wants to stand at a game. Sometimes persistent standers in areas that most people sit is very annoying
It’s part of safe standing as people are standing already rather than choiceShould be behind the goal IMO.
Singers Corner + a presence behind the goal would be incredible.

Safe standingIs that no change to capacity once they’ve closed the 15 seats at the end of the block on each row?
All for this, as long as it comes with a very clear message that there will be zero tolerance of standing in any other block and people will be removed.This would be a great addition to the ground, and the match day experience.

It will be interesting if the consultation includes information on what will happen to season ticket holders in the blocks who don’t want to be in a safe standing area. What choice of alternative seats would we have and when would that be organised? In good time for the 24/25 season I’d hope with good comms and liaison with anyone who can’t commit to standing and needs an alternative seat. In block 17 say.
I think we should have safe standing and singers corner is the natural place for it. I’ve been in 16 for many years and have a seat I love but can’t stand all game so would have to move. be great for those who want to stand though and glad the club are thinking about this kind of thing and being open about it.
They can still sit down. I'd like to think 13-16 is perfect. Even those down the bottom can sit if they'd like.
I thought with safe standing the seats are locked in the upright position so it’s impossible to sit in them?
I think they still come down into a seat but there’s a rail in front of you?

Just googled it.
Only thing I could find was on Wikipedia (so questionable if it’s true!)
But it looks like there’s different types. The one I’m thinking of is rail seats, and with those they are locked so you can’t sit in them.
But there are other types that can still be sat in so I guess it would depend on what system we went for

Nope, will be like this. It's literally a mental railing. Simple but effective and means you can sit comfortably and watch the game if you'd like.
But surely you wouldn't see anything if you sit?View attachment 30476
