Safe Standing and Atmosphere

[TCsLoveChild]

Please explain more specifically what you mean by this in relation to my post?

Well you say you “can’t see the problem for the armchair fans”, personally I can see lots of problems, ie being forced to move from seats they’ve had for many many years, being split up from friends they’ve made over those years, not being consulted about it etc. I can understand the desire for safe standing and am happy for people to get it…. Just not at the expense of someone else. UTB

So what does someone who isn't a psychopath do, when they look at a situation where different people want different things?

Maybe try and find a solution that suits both lots? Maybe have safe standing in an area that doesn’t require season ticket holders to move, … maybe the Bramall Lane upper stand. Or maybe wait until the kop is redeveloped to do it? UTB

We need to accomodate everyone. Places to stand, places to sit and disabled areas. Safe standing has to go somewhere and the best place is behind the sitters.

The impression I get is that the club IS consulting with supporters.

Another blatant example of asset stripping

Yes, they will rip out the seats and sell them for a tidy profit. The COH group will be really happy .

True. Ours was always going to be this situation, without a huge refurb job.
In all honesty I don't see how any of them are safer, or even what they think they are preventing. Crowd surges don't happen with seats anyway.
Worst I've suffered is by jumping about and grazing my shin.

So it’s you that wears your eco-shin-pads to the match is it?

Can't redevelop anywhere. Might require someone to move.

It's never consulted with me.

They should have consulted everyone that will be affected, that definitely didn’t happen. UTB

Aren't they planning too?

No. It’s already a done deal. UTB

With the way this season is going, might be a benefit to have someone stood up in front of us all game

Seated stadiums are here and as you all know have been for some time.
This will never change.
If it did and some awful event happened with many injured the game would never live it down,
Seating is safer and easier to spot troublemakers, end of.
If ye want to stand up do it before or after the game or when the Blades score, but not too prematurely as us old dodgers cannot shift like we used to could. Thank you.
