Standing/Sitting Areas for Semi final Wembley

[frankmosswasmyuncle]

Blocks 545-552 are for those that want to sit and watch the game
Blocks 527-544 for those who want to stand up all game
Block 123 for those that want to keep going out for trays of chips during the game
Blocks 124-143 for those too drunk to find their seat
Block 701 for anyone in a jesters hat


Or we could just have all the short people at the front and the Ormondroyds at the back.

blimey...looking at that table means that in my block I will have to get drunk

Same here Doc!
Is it compulsory?
I need to show the above evidence to several people so that they understand.

If grounds had been all seater from day one of football I doubt we'd all have been clamouring for standing in an area too small for the number of people and where half of you can't see to be introduced. We are sold a myth that standing was a golden era when it was uncomfortable and was just a way of piling it high and selling it cheap. You can make plenty of noise without needing to stand.

We wasn't sold any kind of myth at all. Standing was popular because people liked to stand. You could also sit down back then if you wanted to.

Back in the day most of us stood; if you wanted to sit you paid for a seat in the Witton Lane or Trinity.
No one made me stand on The Holte or piled me high - I loved it! And miss it!
It wasn't always the safest perhaps; it's probably less safe standing as we do now at away games.

I would much rather stand.
(I sometimes get "standing seats" at The Swan Theatre, Stratford - £5 - sitting for more than half an hour gives me numb-bum and I start fidgeting)

Safe standing would solve a multitude of such issues.

You can drink out of a jesters hat (ideally half and half) in block 701

Will there be a special section for Liverpool fans wearing "Steven Gerrard / The Second Messiah" half-and-half scarves ?

Yes, with a high wall to one side and a firing squad opposite.

[Hoppo]

I've just had my tickets through.. I'm that far back I'm in Old Wembley so I'll have to stand.. sorry.

Same!  Oh well, I suppose life does have its snags...
What time shall we start drinking!?

Seems to me that Football wont allow safe standing areas but does very little about unsafe standing in seated areas.

[Holte L2]

I will be doing a combination of standing up, and sitting down during various moments in the game whilst being courteous and polite to the people that sit next to me.

At home games, I tend to perch on top of my seat without folding it down.

[frankmosswasmyuncle]

I will be standing.
Unless someone asks me to sit down.

No-one at away games over the last few years has ever asked me to, except stewards of course, in which case I always sit down.
Then stand up again when they've moved on...advice given by someone who knows about these things.
Refusing to sit is what causes the problems and reports and reduction in ticket allocation...apparently.

I was in row B at St Jame's Park, which as they don't sell tickets in row A, means I was at the front. I went to sit down at first until I was satisfied that the folks behind me in row C were going to stand and was then able to stand up, with 2599 others, for the rest of the game.

The only away ground I can recall us sitting down at is Stamford Bridge upstairs in the lower section of the two.

Its been like that for years.

It's the only way I've ever known it.  In the 25 years I've been going away, I can't ever remember sitting down at an away match.

Block 536 is now seated if you wish to swap it with another block.

[TimTheVillain]

It's almost obligatory to stand up ... all game !

Organizing a 'sit down ' / 'stand up area ' would be impossible anyway given that Villa are selling on a block by block basis rather than 'choose your seat sir / madam ' ...
