Wallsendmag Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 (edited) Safe standing is a must for next season. Agree atmopshere was shite yesterday until the penalty. For some reason our club are more arsey than anywhere else for fans standing in seated areas so this needs rectified at the quickest opportunity. For me the obvious area to start would be the Gallowgate upper and the Strawberry Corner. Probably a combined capacity of around 6k there so that's a good starting point. Fans need to lobby the club for a meeting to put forward suggestions and for this I wouldn't even bother with the Trust. I'd be more hopeful of a positive outcome if we could get representatives from Wor Flags to speak with the club on this matter instead. Obviously they already have a great relationship with the club and secondly I think they can read the the room better, so to speak. The certainly seem more aligned with the fans than NUST are and I'd say they have far more respect from the general fanbase as well. I'd be happier with them speaking to the relevant people, as opposed The Trust when it comes to things atmosphere related.

BoSelecta Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 I think safe standing would have a greater impact on the atmosphere than 8,000 extra seats. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also if we were to add 8k seats surely we just make part of this safe standing. Sadly if we don't adapt safe standing we'll get left behind given alot of clubs are going this way.

I believe in the UK it's 1:1 initially but most places on the continent get more people in their safe standing areas than can normally sit there, and surely that'll happen here eventually too once the concept is proven. So the 2 are not mutually exclusive, introducing safe standing can and probably will increase the ground capacity of and by itself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think ultimately some season ticket holders are going to have to be shifted elsewhere, and some are going to twist like hell about it, but we seem to be one of the only top flight clubs without a proper standing & singing end/section. People have been shifted for profit in times gone by (bond holders) - whereas I'd hope most people would agree this is for the greater good. Ideally it would be the whole gallowgate, but anywhere to start with would be great. Agree. Anyone twisting should fuck off, its for good of club so if fans have to move then it is what it is. I'd happily pay more to stand Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUFC91 Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Any feed back from trust @TheGuv Also @Heron suggestion that wkr flags do a poll on twitter re sace standing? Might push the Trust harder? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitley mag Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Surely if we’ve got safe standing in the away section it gets rolled out to home areas next season. That’s the moment for the singing enclosure, be embarrassing as fuck if we’ve got a safe standing area and every fucker is sat like mutes in it.

AJ9 Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 There should be a safe standing/singing section in every stand of the ground. Ideally with their own identities but contributing to the overall atmosphere. One single section will just mean the bystander effect will kick in. We need to build a more collective approach to improving the atmosphere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans got to do more, and trustt ahould be banging on clubs door. They listen tbf. I think if club said we making 5k safe standing and you enter ballot to get thoughs seats it would work, least that way its fans that care Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the place to start is with existing season ticket holders who want to stand and sing, get them together then take it from there. I think a major problem is we need lads in there early 20’s able to get seats together, was the old singing corner up in level 7 not full of younger lads ?

Anyone who argues is a selfish prick as its for good of club I think if folk were told their seat was becoming a standing area they would sharp move if they didn’t fancy it. Big opportunity to sort it this summer, if we’ve only got 33k season ticket holders should be plenty of scope to move folk around. You’re spot on though don’t think as fans where much if any better than Man City who have been slated. When SJP gets going it’s loud, but it’s so rare these days, I think even the likes of Old Trafford have areas of constant support these days, so it’s not just the times it is possible to have a good home atmosphere.
