HaydnNUFC Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 54 minutes ago, Big River said: they've had architects in most weeks since the season finished. converting 2/3rds of the away section into safe standing as soon as the license gets approved, at a cost of £100 per seat. will be looking at other areas after that, strawberry corner and sections of the gallowgate obvious candidates. Strawberry Corner the most likely surely? Most stand there currently anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Have the visiting fans asked for this through supporter groups, I met a guy from the Spurs supporters group a few years ago and his major complaint was that the away fans were to far from the pitch.

jack j Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Is there even much of an appetite for standing at St James? We barely have 300 standing atm Old Trafford, anfielf and Elland Road etc seem to have whole ends stood for big games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there is still some kind of seat there if you do want to sit. Not sure though, the article is a bit vague as to what Rail seating is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of away ends it would seem to make very little difference to me as everybody’s standing anyway. Maybe stops people ending up three rows in front celebrating a goal.

1964 Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Isn't it pointless having a seat unless everyone sits down? As soon as someone stands up, everyone will have to, or stare at someone's arse for a couple of hours Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcohol in the stands next? Pretty sure the ones at Spurs weren’t locked? Or at least if they were you could unlock them yourself as a few people were sitting down at half time Edited July 12, 2022 by SteV Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also for the safety point of view. 1 person to 1 spot Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
