Say "Standing" again! Come on, say "Standing" again! I dare you, I double dare you motherfucker, say "Standing" one more goddamn time!

I had to stand on the train on my way to work this morning. I didn't experience the joy you do in this act. I tried to get the people who were sat down to join me in standing but to no avail. What am I doing wrong?

just follow the trends at the semi final and liaise with those in K-2 k4, l8 singing section and lower north r1-r4.

As it is everybody was stood in our section and thankfully my son could see fine, felt sorry for the elderly guy in front with a walking stick who quite obviously was having problems standing the entire 90 minutes but it was pointed out to him that if he can't be bothered to liase with Witton End like the other 31,999 did, it's clearly his own fault. 

It is all rather tedious and  you are clearly deluded if you think there is any kind of 'liasing' going on.

This thread is the icing on the cake for TC and me.   She could have maybe managed the steps to get on a coach and, with my  help, walked to the stadium but she is physically unable to stand for 90+ minutes and knowing our luck we would be stuck behind people like Witton End.  So, with heavy hearts, we've decided to stay at home.

That would be a terrible shame, I hope selfish pricks like Mr End realise the consequence of their actions but I somehow doubt they ever will. I hope you both have a change of heart and make it to the game.

I sympathise with you, but these are the problems that are faced when sitters and standers are in the same blocks.it's a. Common sense solution to allocate a standing area for those that want to. They won't so I would advise get a ticket at the front of the upper tier or on the side if want to sit.

Excellent advice. Make sure you say those exact words to the ticket office.

the options were there to buy in the semi final. If a sitter gets a ticket In areas which are likely to be standing then your just making things hard for yourself.

yeah but for the semi when you bought a ticket , it was for a block
they couldnt specify and you couldnt choose
a seat at the front of the block ,    or the back of the block
i suggest sit down when the opposition are attacking
and stand up when villa are attacking
its worked well in the holte end for years

Excellent work Joe. The worst poster in the history of H&V and I include that bloke who wanted to rain his fists down on Damon in that.
