    Safe standing on the North Stand ruled out

    1. Not enough call for it.

    2. Tony likes the look of the stand as it is.

    Me like many more would need a zimmer frame to be able to stand for 90 minutes plus. 😆

    I don't see why they can't put some standing at the back of the stand for people wanting to do that. THere wouldn't be people sat behind them then. I'd like to stand if I was able to go, and whilst legs permit! Much prefer it. And would reduce numbers of people who want to sit whilst people keep standing and obstructing view. Seems win/win to me.

    1. I'm sure there are plenty of fans that would love to stand and try to create some atmosphere in a pretty dead stadium .
    2. Tony likes it, so he's not interested in what the fans may want and doesn't care about any extra revenue from increased capacity.
    I personally think he has just had enough which is of course his choice.

    Id prefer to stand up tbh but if theres not been enough of a call for it then fair enough. Safe stsnding wouldnt create a better atmosphere anyway. Fans create good atmospheres and for whatever reason we are just not very good at it..

    No we are not very good at creating any atmosphere because anyone who maybe would like to are spread all round the stadium. I think it is true that safe standing in the tivoli end created a great atmosphere.

    Fixed it:

    1. It would create an hour's work in admin, and the cost of the work would be around the same as one Lambo service

    2. Tony lost interest circa "Taylor not working well" and despite a brief spark of interest when SE came back, that also died by Barnsley away
