    Safe standing at the Lane?

    Yes or no at the lane if standing makes a comeback?

    I'd much prefer it, but I'm not sure where it could be. The Kop gradient might be too steep if I remember rightly

    It's a NO from me,I'm afraid I've been spoilt and have got used to sitting down.Back in the day it would have been a definite yes.
    I'm not sure it is a viable economic option for us as a club,if I'm not mistaken doesnt it involve fitting quite a bit of expensive kit to facilitate the safe standing?

    I hate standing quite frankly, if you're quite small, there is no chance of seeing a game if someone tall is in front of you

    In favour, sort of, I broke my ankle thirty years ago and cannot put too much weight on it still. I much prefer to sit in the kop where I imagine is where the standing area will be, I don't much fancy sitting in the Pavis so what do I do?

    If the kop could be divided so to allow standing at the front and sitting at the back then that's what I'd vote for.

    Yes. I always stood on County Road. It was never the same again when they forced us to sit down. If it was re-introduced at Notts I expect it would only be behind one of the goals though.
    The Kop shouldn't be a problem, "Safe standing" is having a rail directly in front of you as well as one directly behind you, so there's no chance of anybody tumbling down the terraces, however steep.

    Mate, what's the alternative site for UTM? The Carousel one needs 50p sticking in the meter again

    Cautious yes, if they segregate standing although I'm too old to stand for 2 hours
