Wallsendmag Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 A workmate of mine who absolutely hates Rugby has bought a ticket for tomorrow just to get back inside SJP again! Says he's going to go in, buy a pint, take it to his seat to drink, and then leave. I can think of better things to do with 30 quid! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might as well just wait a few more weeks, pay £20 for one of the friendlies and have a pint or two. Fair play though.

Never stand with the barrier just infront of you, the crowd sways forward and you get crushed against it. Loads of people used to lean against the barriers, dangerous. The best position was a couple of steps infront of a barrier. Comparative safety. Im too old, with far to many accumulated injuries and arthritic joints to stand at the match these days though. Just getting a seat would do me, especially if I can sit next to my wife, who has never been to an NUFC match. Memberships purchased. Absolutely That space in front of a barrier was prime celebrating a goal space Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Got the noncing on at the minute and just noticed there’s a screen in the Gallowgate/Milburn corner. Is that just for this, or could it be permanent? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big River Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 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.

Even the back and middle tier of the Gallowgate would be sublime though. I’m a bit gutted they’re starting with the away end but as you say, we are making positive moves towards this so happy days.

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...
