Once a purpose built stand is in place you can get 3 people to every 2 seats.If you just install rail seating in an existing stand, then you cannot increase capacity because there will not be enough exits or space in the concourse for it to be safe.
Exactly. Being cynical there’s no win for a politician in introducing it Goes well and you get zero credit Goes badly and you get all the blame including from people who advocated it, for not doing it properly
54000 on the petition now.I don't think it will happen though, not for a long time. Having made peace, as they see it, with the Hillsborough families no-one in authority's going to rock that boat for the foreseeable.
Celtic have put safe standing in over last year.Seems to have been declared a success but haven't seen any detailed articles about it which is odd. Have they reduced ticket prices in that area?There's certainly a demand for it so for me it's worth a go to put it in for space for 3k or so fans in the popular home ends.
