If it was passed, where would it go at Villa Park?  Bottom of North Stand is the obvious choice.

What would costs be to rip out the seating etc?

Problem was never with standing, but the allocation of tickets etc.  Surely in the times of all ticket games we have now then it would be safer?

I think I'm going to not sign it, purely to cancel out Blackcountry Villa's signature.

You just wait until Blackcountry Villa becomes Prime Minister, the great Diplomat that he is.

There will be no seating anywhere in this country.

To the people talking about childeren and certain people being unable to stand for long periods, did you think about the prospect that the whole stadium won't all be terraces?

Personally I was referring to the current situation, especially at away games, which we all have to stand at our seats because some people want to stand.

I have voted for safe standing so that those who want to stand can and those that want to sit can.

To be honest I have often seen kids at away games unable to see a thing due to everyone standing, if I had a kid (if I havn't already) I would not take them to an away match. Then again it is one of the things I love about away games.

Clubs won't pay to rip out expensive seats to provide cheaper terracing. Plus, while we  could have standing areas in either the Lower North or Lower Holte (depending on the maximum number of seats) very few clubs have as ideal areas that could be turned into terracing.

I don't expect to see terracing back in my lifetime.

It would be interesting if this goes ahead before we redevelop the north stand as it may be included in that!

signed it
most prem clubs could cope with 10-20% terracing for home fans IMO

sadly I don't think we'll see 28000 in the Holte again
