Guest thenorthumbrian Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Is this a good thing? Do we need to bring them back? It wont change the atmosphere unless standing is cheap as dirt and then you'd get the more 'risky' football fans back in the grounds. Agreed, I reckon there might be more than a little bit of "things were better when I were a lad" style sentimentality in the enthusiasm for bringing back standing at the footy. It's not the introduction of sitting down that has forced the traditional fan away from the grounds, (do their legs not bend in the middle, or something!?!) it's the vastly inflated ticket prices. I suspect some of the clubs that support the idea just see it as a way of squeezing more people into the ground and therefore increasing revenue without having to shell-out to make the ground larger. With the current popularity for standing they could probably charge the same as for a seat, maybe even more, to those who want to stand!! Exactly when players moan about lack of atmosphere (remember thr "prawn sandwich" crack from Roy Keane about the dead atmoshere at Manure) well its so the footballers can get their obscene wages that the clubs have grovelled to the coorperate whores. Would players accept pay cuts to allow cheaper tickets for the fans ? would they fuck. And Eton is a hotbed of football support isn't it ? So Cameron can fuck right off.

Troll Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 I heard that they're more likely to adapt the German model of terracing, which looks like this: http://www.truststfc.co.uk/img/standing.jpg So it's similar to what we have now, just more room to stand in front of our seats, plus a barrier. The problem I see with it is that it will cost a lot to switch a whole ground over to that, and it'd probably reduce a stadium's capacity. I don't think clubs would go for it if it meant selling less tickets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobby Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Labour is for the working class, so yes, ;D ;D problem? The left has traditionally been concerned with the lower classes and with combatting perceived oppression. Thus the industrial revolution saw left-wing politics become associated with the conditions and rights of workers in the new industries. This led to movements around social democracy, socialism and trade unionism. More recently, the left has criticized what it perceives as the exploitative nature of current forms of globalization, e.g. the rise of sweatshops and the "race to the bottom", and either has sought to promote more just forms of globalization, such as fair trade, or has sought to allow nation-states to "delink" or break free of the global economy.
