Are we allowed to TEXT .. Some cunt is videoing on their phone or vlogging while the game is on !!
Or should we just lob their phone onto the touchline ?
Weird how the vloggers always seem to get away tickets...

Suspect it's more for council licensing conditions than owt else
Enough of your lavatory stories MrsP.Sitting down doesn't stop me singing.....just saying!
I wonder if other clubs have the same issue? Every home stand in the country constantly stands up. I don't get why we are being targeted?
We ain't targeted. Everyone gets it, simply cos councils could technically close grounds down over itI wonder if other clubs have the same issue? Every home stand in the country constantly stands up. I don't get why we are being targeted?
Yeah but we know that would never happen, the amount of money a match day brings to the local area is unreal, no chance the council would ever jeopardise thatWe ain't targeted. Everyone gets it, simply cos councils could technically close grounds down over it
Think it's the SGSA as well as the council. They've got no real incentive to support our local area, whereas if we were seen to be openly tolerating standing in a brand new ground with lots of attention on it they'd look useless (they ARE useless but got to keep an image up!). It's the same as it's ever been, we need a change in the law, the club seem pretty open to standing areas once that happens.Yeah but we know that would never happen, the amount of money a match day brings to the local area is unreal, no chance the council would ever jeopardise that
Not sure why people are surprised about it. Used to get asked to sit down Park Lane Lower all the time. No difference here at all.
I can see why people complain to be honest, but I think we need to be sensible about things too.
I've got issues with a recurring knee injury that make it difficult for me to stand for long periods of time. Sometimes I can go to a game and it won't affect me at all, other times I'll have to sit for the full 90 minutes. I've paid good money for my ticket so why should I have to then spend 90 minutes looking at someone's back instead of being able to see the game?
Also at the moment it's set up differently to the standing terraces I went to as a kid. Back then the adults use to try and send the kids to the front so that they could see the game, but now people standing stay where their seat is. If it stays that way when safe standing comes back in it's definitely going to turn families and kids off as they just won't be able to see the game. It'll go back to being an old boys club or worse still it'll be stadiums full of tourists or corporates. We need to be capturing the future generations not putting them off.
I'm not against standing on the whole and I think the south stand would be amazing as a standing terrace, but we do need to also have options for those that can't stand or don't want to.
Understand your point of view, but anyone in that position has a simple solution when safe standing comes in; don't buy a ticket for the safe standing areas. Once these areas become official, enforced sitting in the regular seated areas will be even stricterI can see why people complain to be honest, but I think we need to be sensible about things too.

Exactly.We have. They are called the North Stand, the East Stand & the West Stand, In other words 72.6% of the whole ground.
