We should all adopt the kneeling and praying position.

We should all adopt the kneeling and praying position.

Our gaffer, who art int dugout,
Wilder be thy name;
thy Kingdom come;
thy will be done;
In the Lane, though you'll be ignored on Telly.
Give us this day our well worked goals.
And forgive us our bad passes,
as we forgive those who bad pass against us.
And lead us not into administration;
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
the power and the glory,
for ever and ever.
Ayup.

Not sat down at a game in 4 years. Not the same singing whilst sat down. The shit legroom is a bastard too which is another reason.

Personally accept that some want to stand and some want to sit.
Think both sets should be allowed to do what they wish.

Agree, it’s unfortunate if someone goes to an away match and doesn’t want to stand all match
But think thats the best option available because I’m strongly against forcing fans to sit down making stadia like going to the cinema.

Of course safe standing might solve much of the problem however would imagine that over 90% of away fans would still want to stand, so it wouldnt really change anything for an away fan, as everyone would be standing.

All away matches should be unreserved seating. Firstly, I’m a bigger Blade than all my mates and have more points. Because of this, I end up sat on my own as I get my tickets earlier.

And secondly, all the sad bastards who think football supporters should sit down to watch a game can do so as they can fill from the front. Standers fill from the back.

Every single supporter is happy.

I agree about unreserved seating at away matches. That would be a good idea.

I buy my ticket on the first day of sale cos I have loads of points. But I take it back and get 2 or 3 together later on so I can sit with my mates. Unreserved seating would make that unnecessary.

I prefer to sit at matches, but there was a time when I preferred to stand. I think clubs should be able to offer both. It couldn’t be done as you suggest though, leaving it to the fans to fill from front and back. There would need to be an elevated seating area above a standing area and the two would need to be separate. Otherwise there’d be fights breaking out as the standers and sitters clashed and argued about whether that section is for sitting or standing. Also, having beer fuelled standers, behind folks in seats isn’t a good idea!

From where I am on the Kop, I looked around the ground whilst McGoldrick was preparing to take the penalty yesterday. Half of TC Stand and John Street were sat down. These people must be following the wrong sport surely.

If unreserved seating was to be done, and I wish it was, then it would need some sort of structure and organisation. It should be a case of any seat within a block, not any seat in the stand.

And fans should be asked to fill the rows from the centre outwards. Because in the event of even near sell outs, it could often appear that there aren't any spare seats.

Funny you mention that, I did the same after talking about this exact scenario before the game. Plenty were sat down. It's just plain weird.

 

[Northyorksblade]

Our Jack asked me why everyone stands up when a penalty is being taken. Mind you, he usually sits with head in hands, scared to watch. Pussy.

I went to school with a kid called Cat Enaccio, funny thing, he was always on the defensive.

What I've never done though is stand up in a seated area when there's no one standing in front of me. I think you have to be some kind of ignorant moron with no respect for others to do that. But I appreciate if that's what you are, you probably don't have the sense to realise it anyway.

Well I choose to stand up at the back of the Kop, often when there's nobody standing in front. This due to lack of legroom and preferring to watch football stood up, if that's alright?

Those that are behind me, I presume will have made the decision to buy a ticket at the back of the Kop with the knowledge they'll be standing the whole game.

I'm not a moron. Or maybe I am with no sense to realise it...

You were right second time!

Nah my assumptions are right. You really think everyone should sit down at the back of the Kop and on away days?

You've said yourself you used to prefer standing up. Seems it's a case of you wanting everyone to adhere to whatever suits you at the time.

No I don't mate, not at all. I don't go on the kop thesedays, I changed years ago when I started taking young kids, mainly because they wouldn't have seen much as folk are not just standing a lot, but also getting up and going to the bog a lot! But when I used to go on the kop it was normal for folks in certain sections to be standing and I'd do the same if I needed to. When I say, "if I needed to" I mean if the folks in front were standing. Otherwise I'd sit down. I know there are certain sections of the kop where folk remain standing and I think if you're going to sit in that area then you can expect to do the same.

Same with away games, I can think of plenty of away games last season where everyone was stood up, fair enough, you just accept that it's what most fans do at away games and you go along with it.

What I'm talking about is folks standing up and blocking the view for others, forcing them to stand up, when everyone around them is seated. I think that's ignorant tbh. Imagine going to the cinema and you're about to watch a film then the folks on the row in front of you stand up. It wouldn't be tolerated. It's about what's normal for the area of the ground you are in.

That's why I think it would be good to have standing areas. I wouldn't choose them over seating myself, but I've got great memories of when there were standing areas and the crowds were much bigger and the atmosphere much better. But, if they do bring that back, then people have a choice. If you want to stand up, go to a standing area, or be prepared to sit down in the seats. At the moment people don't have a choice, so they do what they want and that can cause issues for folks unwilling or unable to stand.
