People would be stood up for a start. Plenty do in the front and upper tiers anyway (Plus the corner) but all 12,000 standing would be immense and would massively help the atmosphere (not that it's needed much help lately).

Been there in the 60' s standing couldn't see a damn thing sometimes, if youve never been in the stadium when was all standing it was horrendous if needed a slash at half time trying to get back to your sidekicks was murder.

Happinesstan Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 33 minutes ago, POOT 2.0 said: I can understand people who were never part of the standing generation not getting what the big deal is. But standing is so much better in everyway. Jumping around next to mates, not being bitched for being passionate etc etc etc. This is not going to come cose to replicating that experience. You used to jump up at the back of the Gallowgate and by the time you landed you were sitting in Kevin Carr's lap. I don't know if there is really any need for these safety measures that restrict the individuals movement. How many people outside of Hillsborough and Heysel died in the old set-up when we had about 50k in the leazes alone? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happinesstan Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 I might be wrong but wasn't standing banned after the Taylor report, with consideration given to the lies of the entire North Yorkshire constabulary? I think it might be time to look at some facts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many a time I'd arrive at the match and promptly lose whoever I had gone with after a goal. No mobiles in those days to stream the game with/check your bets/gurn with your mates to. Nowadays being in the wheelchair messes with the viewing. There are some that just can't stand for 90 minutes. Kids can't see if everyone stands up. But hey.. for the many, not the few... EDIT. And yes, I realise that I sound like an old fart. I get that for those who can’t stand. Stamford Bridge will only have 1/4 of the stadium standing. There’ll be plenty of other places to sit for those that want to? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitley mag Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 (edited) Yeah just get the balance right between standing and seating. What an excellent opportunity to get like minded people together who want to create an atmosphere. The fact they didn’t put half season tickets on sale gives us scope to move people and accommodate everyone’s preferences. I personally don’t think this version of standing will be anything like the 70’s or 80’s and will be far more civilised. There’s no increase in capacity, so it won’t resemble anything like the swaying masses of years gone by. The police have already said they’re concerned about groups of lads gathering together, well fucking sorry like but as long as they’re just creating an atmosphere there should be no problem with that.
