Villa looking at safe standing

[Ed the Wool]

I know there's mixed feelings on this but I think if it's safe there's no reason why it can't be done, provided the infrastructure for getting to and from the ground and into the areas is sound as well.

I'd love to see the Kop back standing again. It'd be great, and I think it'd bring atmospheres back to footy grounds and reduce prices for ordinary people.

I dont think it would reduce prices because the only way it will be allowed is if each person standing is allocated a space. It wouldn't increase capacity so there's no opportunity to reduce the ticket price. Not going to happen anyway.

I disagree, it should increase capacity but I dont think prices will fall dramatically. It will be used as a way to increase revenue e.g. increase capacity by 20% but reduce prices by 7.5%

Not sure how it will reduce prices unless it's a big area. As soon as it gets popular the demand would be too much. It will never happen anyway.

I think Hoffenheim and Schalke fit two people into the space needed for one seat in their safe standing areas. one on each ledge here.

It looks quite intimate.

Would you prefer to be at the front holding on to the rail, or the lad stood behind with your hands on his shoulders for balance ?

I'd prefer to be the lad pissing through the paper rather than the lad with the pocket.

Amen to that.

 

I actually had a Kop moment at Fulham away this season. On the back wall with Stewards and Coppers about 5 metres away. There was no chance I was going to make it on time.

It will. Will happen in Scotland first.
