steve76 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I am doing a presentation at college and I have chosen to do it on the reasons why safe standing should be brought to Scotland. Many of you will have seen safe standing on the news as this debate has been going on for a while but it is pretty much terraces with portable seats that can be pulled down or locked up so it gives football clubs the option to choose which they prefer, standing or seated. It can also designate different parts of the ground. Basically, I would like to get as many opinions as possible with pros and cons, whether you are for or against, what team you follow and how it will affect your experience.

Pull My Strings Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Are we still peddling the myth that standing is inherently unsafe? Edit: If you're doing this for an assignment wouldn't it be more interesting to examine the argument over whether standing areas are unsafe rather than simply: "65% of blowhards on the internet think that they'd have a better laugh if they could stand up at the fitba"?

Bigmouth Strikes Again Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 There's a few perfect parts of our ground for it, that are currently abandoned, or they've got a few stupid seats put in (stand enclosure and beside the south enclosure) unfortunately the health and safety clowns and pc plod will put a stop to it.

Pie Of The Month Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I don't really see any real need for it following Thistle. If you want to stand you can do so in the North Stand without the club having to spend any money on new seats. Then at away games I can't remember the last game anyone has been forced to sit down.

BarraJag Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I'd love our north stand to be a terrace. Or rather than have a small stand on the west side have a terrace over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers See the Search box at the top right of the page? If you use that you'll find the numerous other threads there's been about safe standing. There hasn't been one for a few weeks mind you. Maybe your next presentation could be about a 16 team top division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumigoo Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I am definitely all for it, but it would be interesting to see how many fans would actually use it. Yes you would have small groups of supporters who would regularly stand, but the majority definitely wouldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quitongo's Left Peg Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Safe standing is a must to get atmosphere back to home games "My Team - Stirling Albion" As for clubs with already recently built stadia, it would be nice but not cost-efficient. Where would the sense be in Kilmarnock or Motherwell e.g. altering their grounds at significant cost? The Rugby Park stands were also built poorly (ask anyone who has been) in terms of the rows being very slim, which means it wouldn't be feasible to put safe standing areas in.

thepundit Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I'm not really in favour of it. It's all very well having it at Clydebank games or whatever but in the Premiership, with thousands in attendance, I don't think it's a good idea.

To be fair, I don't judge what is or isn't acceptable for the junior leagues, so probably best to resist judging leagues you've never been a part of.

ForzaDundee Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I don't understand how being forced to sit in seats with next to no leg-room is safer than standing. Given the nature of the event fans are constantly up and down to celebrate or let fellow fans walk past. Surely standing is safer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForzaDundee Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Also, why do the authorities allow me to stand for an hour prior to kick-off and for 15 minutes during half-time but not during the match? Doesn't make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PauloPerth Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Yes to proper terracing, or safe standing if that is the only option. People should have a choice on whether to sit or stand. If 80000 people can stand in a muddy field at a music festival, why is it unsafe for a couple of thousand folk do it in a safely designed area in a football stadium?
