Safe Standing Petition.

[Percy McCarthy]

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.

Yes, please save us from a return to the days when twenty frightened looking blokes from Chelmsley Wood sneaked onto the Holte, stood as far away from the back as they possibly could, didn't say boo to a goose, then grassed themselves up to the police and asked for an escort to their own end as soon as anybody worked out who they supported. Kind of like you coming on here.

There really was nothing to worry about, and there still isn't. As evidenced by Villa taking the absolute piss in the Cup game last season,  Villa v Blues is the hooilgan equivalent of Barcelona taking on the might of Gravesend and Northfleet.

Not sure if this has been posted already... a fan stands up and is challenged by Manchester Police...

That is absolutely fucking disgraceful.

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.

Seeing it happen at the game, they were trying to make them sit down. Nothing more than that.

Standing is clearly only dangerous when tits such as those in these videos try and force you into your seat.

Are you at it again? 'Them' coming down to the Holte End to duff us up? Unbelievable.

He's acting out some kind of bizarre revenge fantasy in response to being bullied by nasty Villa fans, obviously. Still fooling the moderators though, so fair play to him.

There's a very long thread about it on Bluemoon - "trouble in east stand"

Do you remember all that bollocks about them being in the Holte in 2003?

Seems to be some sort of wet dream for the Noses to "get in the Holte".

There was a couple in front of us, a bloke and a woman. Nobody hit him, but she left with about fifteen lumps of chewing gum in her big curly perm. A few people were dropping them in there and they were so scared they wouldn't even look round. Bet she enjoyed that date.

I remember a bloke in the upper Witton getting belted down the stairs, but didn't see any in the Holte.

What I recall most about it was the reporting of the Noses intentions in almost fevourish fashion in the Evening Mail.

Yes. And it was so far-fetched even the Sunday Sport wouldn't have printed it.

That's pretty moronic behaviour, truth be told.

I know, there's really no justifcation for that at all. Big curly perms were well past their sell by date in 2003.

Bring back standing in the winter. It will be warmer.

Perhaps it was actually an afro, you RACIST.

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)

Applause!

Taking your missus to sit in the Holte End as an away fan at the most hostile local derby in years? Spot on.
