It's not for me. I have endured it at some away games, ad hoc I might add when fans in front wouldn't sit down but nah it's not for me, must be an age thing

So you "give up your season ticket, move and then find it's not for you. Then what ?
Wouldn't fancy return to standing myself.
Much prefer to sit nowadays (like Brin it's probably an age thing).

I stand every home game anyway, but I am second row down at back of north stand 😃👍Originally Posted by BramleyMiller58

I would expect the majority on here would favour sitting down at their age of life but I definitely think there's a need for safe standing areas in all stadia. The one thing it would do is give those who want to stand a place to be and so (hopefully) reduce the conflicts that often arise when people end up standing in the seated areas.

Safe standing in the toilets for me, I would not want to stand at a football match now.

Or they make you move so they can instal the new barriers?
That would go down well

Good point

Also there’s a space issue. “ standing barriers” when compared to seats accommodate half of the fans for the same area taken up.
Ok for big grounds like Newcastle but a non starter for grounds like ours

Me too, though 4 rows from back.
