gannonball Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 I've got my book in the rail seating section, was a tremendous atmosphere in it on Wednesday. Had to show my card to three lots of security going up the set of steps for it though. A bit ott. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering that Liverpool fans and writers have been up to Glasgow to check it out and have given it a glowing endorsement (see link) I think that people are realizing that these safe standing areas are light years ahead of the old terraces in terms of safety.

Check the link for a good read from a Liverpool fan perspective https://www.theanfieldwrap.com/2017/04/liverpool-and-safe-standing-the-celtic-park-experience/ Old terraces could have been perfectly safe as well. They just didn't give a f**k about the safety or comfort of folk standing on them like they do these days. Nowadays you would never get away with packing in far too many, insufficient exits, locking people in pens etc. which is obviously progress. I realise traditional terraces will never come back, as the authorites have perpetuated this myth that they were unsafe, so yes safe standing it is and it would be great if every home and away section in every ground in Scotland introduced some, but sadly the expense means it is unlikely to appear outwith the bigger clubs.

DA Baracus Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Traditional terraces could quite easily come back. Plenty of clubs in England who have built new grounds have them (admittedly in the lower leagues). As Paulo (correctly) states, there is nothing unsafe about terracing.

Safe standing as it's presented now is just a different kind of seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Your Own Socks Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 but sadly the expense means it is unlikely to appear outwith the bigger clubs. Thankfully, many 'smaller' clubs still have sections of terracing. Proper ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 'Safe' standing is a con. It seems to me to just be a big money making exercise. The folk who design and install it must have some sort of financial dodgy deal with football authorities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The folk who design and install it must have some sort of financial dodgy deal with football authorities. Installation-wise, it costs £80 per safe standing seat compared to £40 for a regular seat.
