    O/T: Safe standing about to be introduced in England...

    Interesting and sensible I think. Not that is affects me in the slightest but a lot of fans do want this.

    I think if this did happen at Tannadice it would suit the agenda of those fans who want the shed used for home supporters only.My guess would be that's the area of the ground they would use for safe standing.

    My ST is currently for the ETL but I go to the shed if possible (away fans aren't in it). The ET is pretty ****e for disabled fans, right at the front is not ideal. ☹️

    I can well imagine that mate i detest it when at Hampden etc you are given seats at the front,if there was any way i could get you up in the ET top tier i would happily oblige.
    Me and the family along with ADS and his stunner were in our seats for the first time yesterday and i had forgotten just how good a view you get up there.Another good thing is the toilets and kiosks are quiet and i felt perfectly safe.

    Great seats too mate, excellent view and really handy for all the facilities too. Pie was more than acceptable, although I'm starved of them down south so was probably just more tolerant than most 😂

    Nice compliment to the much better half too mate, I'm sure it won't go right to her head 😉😂

    Already making enquiries into the Monday off after the derby so will be in touch about plans for it soon mate 👍

    Thanks again for the great Dundonian welcome mate, meant the world 👏👏

    Yeah, it really is excellent. Before I was in the chair that's where I sat for years so it's a bit of a culture shock to be right at pitch level. I don't really mind so much at an away game as it's more of a one off but at Tannadice? ☹️ I'll try and get something done but we'll see.

    If you do manage to get up for the Derby we will do it all again and the Bedsit will be in Bombay Fast mode.

    I don't think its asking much of the club to look after die hard supporters like yourself a wee bit better Terence,keeping order on here at times shouldna go unnoticed either given some of the train wrecks you have dealt with over the years.
