Tross Posted November 28 Share Posted November 28 Why do we have to have seats behind the safe standing? Can we not do what the Jormans do and have a proper standing end without seats? Someone somewhere could calculate how many can safely enter and it would increase capacity and improve the atmosphere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. Standing was never a safety issue. Fences were the problem. Germans absolutely pack them in behind the goals at their grounds every week with no problems at all. Actually standing in a seated area is more dangerous than standing on a safely designed terrace Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in the Milburn Paddock towards the Gallowgate. It did easily! We had season tickets in the family enclosure back then. Atmosphere was just totally off the scale. Lindisfarne performing on the half built Leazes End pre match! 3 mins 53 secs of that video you even get a quick glimpse of the East Stand up out their seats singing and dancing. Imagine that these days! Think that Leicester game is still my all time favourite. Just felt like we'd arrived! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Andy Cole song reverberated around the Bigg Market for half the night along with David Kelly ("scored a hat-trick on the Tele") and Robert Lee ("scored a goal on ITV").
