He's been banned.

Finally we get back on track.

So for Man City away where will the standers be?

Honestly 'standers' and 'sitters' have begun to not sound like real words to me now. I feel like they're euphemisms for some fiendish sexual act.

Are you a stander or a sitter?

Bit harsh?

He's allowed his view on things but I admit to struggling with the absolute shite that he came out with ALL OF THE TIME!

Thanks for all your kind comments everyone.

Witton End, I hope that you never find yourself in my position but if you do, maybe then you'd understand how completely selfish you're coming across.

We won't be going to the Cup Final even though I have said SOTC should go , she has said that she won't  go without me.
I'm not being selfish as by separating you from standing supporter's means you would be sitting. If I was surrounded by supporters sitting then I would conform and sit no questions asked, but I never need to as I choose my tickets carefully and I am always with the standers.
 

WE, no you're not necessarily being selfish (?) but you are still being totally ridiculous. Sitters/standers CAN'T BE SEPARATED BECAUSE BY LAW THERE IS NO STANDING!!!  Please try to understand this really simple concept. Clubs cannot allocate sitting/standing tickets because standing IS NOT ALLOWED! BY LAW! and other stuff!

I think this is one of the problems with people continuly standing is that it isnt infact against the law to stand only against ground regulations & not an arrestable offence .

I think the fact that one or two posters mentioned to him that he was starting to bore people but carried on anyway is maybe what got him banned.

 Why's he been banned? i think that's harsh.

He raises a point by default. Can the club sell front row tickets in the upper tiers at Wembley for people with genuine physical issues who are unable to stand for long periods? I know we aren't supposed to stand but we do, so arrange the first couple of rows for people who can't. It surely isn't that difficult.

It's a shame that people are missing out.

But you can be ejected.
The club can have its away allocation of tickets reduced if away fans continually refuse to sit when asked.
Birmingham City Council can close sections of VP on the grounds of health and safety if fans persistently stand in what is meant to be an all-seater stadium for SAFETY reasons.

The powers that be - clubs/councils use the law to allow them to take all of the above actions.

I feel like I missed all the fun at the weekend, not being at Wembley and all that.

 I don't mean the spectacle, goals, victory and subsequent celebrations but the stander/stitter paradox that I may/may not have been involved with.

Can he be unbanned w/c 25th May for those of us that couldn't join in last time?

It was chaos Nev, 32.000 of us all met up on Wembley Way to sort out who was a stander and who was a sitter and he didn't turn up.
