Safe Standing Petition.

[E I Adio]

I suppose I should count myself lucky. I get to see all the away team's goals.

I agree that standing areas for ST holders, well governed and no tickets sold to non-ST holders could work. There's no way we would ever go back to standing areas that you can buy tickets for match by match, The knuckle dragging sty dwellers would love the chance to come onto the holte terraces again i'd imagine.

And now we know how many police and stewards it takes to throw an old man out of a football ground.
Thankfully we get the same stewards every game in L1 and the relationship is friendly. We sit down when they come round and ask us to, which isn't often............... and the police on duty in that area seem to take their cue from the stewards and are also quite relaxed about the whole thing.
The club have our names and address's on their data base so if they wanted to take action it wouldn't be difficult for them to do so.
Thankfully they seem to be quite relaxed about it too. But as always it only takes one idiot to spoil things.

At long last common sense is beginning to show a few green shoots of reappearing.

In fairness, you stand more chance of seeing a crowd in a chip shop than at an SPL game.

The FA are still taking this approach......

Don't know how anyone can complain about safe standing.

They can still sit in a seated area of the ground.

No-one is forcing them to stand up.

Also can someone please explain to me why it is deemed dangerous to stand up while watching Aston Villa play at Villa Park?

Yet it is deemed safe to stand up while watching Take That play at Villa Park?

When was the last time you stood on the pitch to watch a game of football?

Ask any of our team from Sunday (winky thing)

That is absolutely fucking disgraceful.

I think that was the incident that happened against us.

I don't know any background to this video but it's clearly been edited - you don't see the incident that caused the police to approach the bloke and you don't see how he ended up on the floor.  How you can draw any conclusions from that one way or the other is beyond me.
