Safe standing

[DevizesRed]

Are you hoping they do or don't try and make people sit down in your section? I always wondered if there are people in that block who would rather not stand.

I'm more than happy with it and hope they leave as is..

What do you reckon the reaction would be if they tell people in your section that you have to sit or move to the standing area?

From that picture it looks like the existing seats have been retained, I imagined they would all be replaced.

Me too.

Shame it's not like this.

Stand off ?

Stand off ?

Sit down protest?

Will they use VAR to adjudicate when people are crouching.

Are they active ? Heading to the bathroom or interfering with someone going to the bathroom.

Length of time with knees at greater than 100 degrees.

That would be the appropriate way to do it. Bet ours was cheaper.

If the seats are the original ones it is going to be very tight, especially for the more rotund.

Apologies if I am being dim, but why will it be tighter with safe standing than it was previously? If anything you’ll have more room when standing given your knees won’t be knocking the seat in front?

It's pretty tight squeezing past each other as it is when you can slightly lean over the seats in front to get past. There will be a barrier there now for these seats. The height of it will be key.

Its the snipers gallery where they can pick you off if you are not sitting/standing according the the "rules is rules" team

We spent some time looking at where the supporting posts for barriers would go and the space between them and the seat in an up position. Seemed very tight. We'll see.

Makes sense.

If you’re in the last “seated” row, you better make sure that you shuffle forward on your seat a bit first before jumping up to celebrate a goal! Could be a few sore heads otherwise.

The height on it should be 87-95cm off the floor

Can’t see people being happy tbh. Hopefully common sense will prevail and they’ll continue to ignore / turn a blind eye. Just hope there’s no sneaky filming then fans getting letters through the post.

That looks ok. The posts are further forward than we’d thought. Angled over the step. I’m pleased I still have a seat so I can sit down if I want.

Looks safe. passes the medical.
Overall the seats in the stadium don't have enough leg room (since built) though if you're sat next to a fat person you're phucked tbh.

I hope the architect designing our new stadium considers the need for room to move in our new stadium for those under 14 stone.
