Should it be bought back by the larger leagues clubs ???????http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/25526329. If we do get our new stadium should we have safe standing or just seats.:thinking about::slap:

Not for me. Retrograde step. Gives the hoolies an inch, they'll take five miles. Back to the lovely 1980s, no thanks
the hoolie firm's were sitting in the seats in the 80's when terraces were still there don't think it will make much difference if any, trouble at football is hardly prevalent anymore.Not for me.

Yes if thats what fans want. The problem was not standing in itself but over-selling of tickets and poor policing.
Thai, why do you think violence is not around much these days? Seating and CCTV, that's why. You don't think it's because hoolies have reformed surely? They're just waiting for a chance.
CCFC92, I give my honest views and you abuse me, what's all that about?

Well you are half right. It's because of CCTV and certainly not to do with seating. It's to do with the risk of getting caught, not wether or not you are standing. Besides, most hoolie stuff moved away from stadiums years ago.
Wait a minute... has this been risk assessed? :thinking about:
I didn't know you stood on the hill Broken Hearted. You've not mentioned it before.
You're right must adress that.
Do you actually know where the Hill is?

Well let's see... its a hill, next to staduim, in Northampton, with some City fans on it. I reckon he'll find it ok.
Not sure if some of you guys were around in the 70s and 80s? It was horrible. So many fans turned away from the game. I don't believe people have got better behaved. Probably worse. No, I don't believe and never said most football fans are hoolies, they're not. But a percentage are and given an inch will really take advantage and spoil it for everybody. In an ideal world there should be room for standing, but it isn't an ideal world.
Standing would bring back all that was nasty and horrible about the game.
Now with safer stadiums games are better for everybody. Compared to the 80s, with terraces and fencing, the game is light years better. Bigger crowds. Just look at attendances in the 1980s - very low. People used to die at football games.
No, definitely a no from me. Would imagine most would be against it.

Sorry Spionkop, I don't agree. Yes I was around, and yes it was dodgy but I just can't see how you directly connect sitting down with improved behaviour? Please explain?
i think he means, if everyone has a designated seat, it's easier for crowd control?
but personally I'm pro terracing :slap: :wave:
