I'm pretty sure there will be plenty of Yids standing UP at St James' Park when the new season kicks off... and you can't GET much higher than their away end TOP TOP TOP TIER!Currently standing areas are illegal in top two tiers of English football. It's likely that law would need to be repealed or amended. However, some have suggested the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport could instead designate rail seats as seating (even when they're in a standing configuration) to get around this without having to waste parliamentary time (which we don't have much of right now thanks to Brexit necessitating a lot of very important bills, and the hung parliament making things slower). The downside of this is that it could be challenged in the courts and potentially subject to a judicial review.
Don't look down...
