I sit in the DRS but would like to see the Town End return to terracing purely so there is an alternative to sitting. There are a few things that I don't like about sitting at football...... 1. It's difficult to relocate to a different part of the stand during a match 2. I have a season ticket and the guy (also ST holder) who sits in front of me is quite animated and tends to throw his head back quite often during a game (occasionally connecting with my knee  ) 3. I've been to many games in the past where a disinterested child has sat behind me and started playing football with the back of my seat  . My season ticket is in the back row, and always will be  4. We had a lot of very cold evening games this season and cold seats are bad! 5. Atmosphere! It's gotta be better on terracing. I enjoyed being back on terracing at Peterborough on saturday, and want to stand sometime again next season. |

I would love a standing area, and there is nor good argument against it. But I can't see it happening because there are no benefits to those who could give it the go ahead.

I'm probably one of the few people that is against the return to standing sections. I don't think it adds anything to the atmosphere and its a pain having to stand for so long at a game, especially when you're watching shit football week in week out (ie Swindon Town).
Admit it, you're just trolling really aren't you? |

No, dont think so.
See the other thread about Southampton. The old way with football was always that crowds could influence games. Seems quite obvious to me that the close atmosphere at the Dell helped Southampton survive many top flight relegation scraps.

I put that equally down to Le Tissier to be honest Spencer White.
He is one of my favourite English footballers of all time.

And mine.
I wish there were many more ugly but brilliant footballers today! Then people would have to be interested in what they really are - footballers. Not some quasi celebrity arrogant twat.

Le Tissier isn't English, he wouldn't pass the Ironside test. |

Le Tissier isn't English Sark is a part of Guernsey - me and my old flatmates considered spending a year in Sark and playing for their "national team", they need all the help they can get! ...but then we either changed the conversation/sobered up/or watched Red Dwarf in a small, cloudy bedroom at 4am. Good times. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sark_national_football_teamOh, and bring back terracing! |

More accurately part of the Bailiwick of Guernsey. |

Yeah, but I only knew this because of wikipedia - so I went with 'part' instead, the common mans 'Bailiwick'  |

And to be fair there isnt a lot of point debating safe standing. Powers that be have made it quite clear that they are not listening or interested. Ive always said that the only way it will come back is if chairman think they can make money out of it. Whilst attendances are still high they will not listen. I could see it happening though, clubs at the moment concentrate all out on the whole 'fammily club' thing, because that is what has fuelled their boom. But one day I think they will be looking at ways to bring a bit of excitement back into the stands. Its all about £££££. |

Good point Spencer.
To be quite frank, until the likes of Phil Gartside are asking for it then it is a total non-event.
The powers that be are not interested in what Swindon, Southend or Bristol Rovers are asking for in new stadia.
