    Here's the petition if you want to sign it. I have, its ridiculous that safe standing isnt allowed. Works well in Germany. Lets put it this way if West Brom installed the same as Celtic, which they would be, it would be safer than league 1/2 standing ie the old style with the odd barrier. Last time I stood was at London Road, Peterborough on the 'old terracing' when we won 4-2 7/8 years back. Great atmosphere created.

    it was so was the away games in Europe

    took me daughter to a posh game and she thought it was a compltly different experience standing than sitting at the toon .she thought there was more atmosphere at posh than st james .

    Germany have had t for years no problems I'm aware of
    lets face it ,if it wasn't for the pissed up scousers we would still have it now .

    if its good enough for bundesligue and uefa surely the prem can take it on
    it is already proven in Germany and celtic

    Unless the ground is small there's no such thing as safe standing.

    Thing is ive been to numerous away games (and some home for that matter) where people have fallen over the seats in front celebrating goals which can become a bit of a domino affect (I scraped the hell out of my shins when Ritchie scored v Man U), where as this couldn't happen with the Celtic/German safe standing section due to the bar in front of each seat.

    Nor safe seating, following that logic.

    Well then, it's a good thing.
    I was just on about how it stood before.

    The seating does not create the domino effect like earlier standing did.
    As Kingston said there's bars in place which cuts it out, so all good.
