Standing in the North Stand

[Jack Daniels]

I take you don't follow Albion away then ?

Probably the nobber that had a go at us for standing at derby. Than had a go at us for being sarcastic to no-one in particular. Just there to generally have a go basically.

 

[Jack Daniels]

Can't help but think Paul Jiggins bit in the programe was about safe standing was aptly timed.

So why didn't they do it at the Birmingham, Middlesborough and Ipswich games

Dunno mate.

Seems to depend a bit on which stewards you have in your particular area, as where I sit (or stand) I have noticed that some stewards are a bit more gung ho than others.

Just bring back terracing and all will be sorted. Stand in the north, sit everywhere else. Pay your money and take your choice.

 

[The Camel]

He has answered my question for me Camel
Can I ask you where your seat in The Amex is please ?

Haven't got a seat.

I live in the North East of England and go to away games more than home games.

I prefer to actually watch the game, that's why I choose to sit in home areas on the side of the pitch, rather than cramped up behind the goal with loads of people who are standing up.

I can't celebrate a goal, but that's no hardship, I'm an adult and I can control my emotions and I accept that in order to actually have a good view of the game.

As for his answer, I accept at key moments people stand up. I stand up. That is passion.

Standing up when he ball is being passed around in midfield is not passion, it's selfish and inconsiderate to people behind you who want to sit down and watch.

There is a fair bit of competition for that honour.

The butch women in the north stand screaching der der der der f***ing useless everytime the opposition fail to get a shot on target comes to mind

If its the one im thinking of she does my f***ing head in.......

Very true and it's a shame really, think english football is really missing that special buzz in the atmosphere you rarely see week-in-week-out.

Politics and football should never ever meet! It's horrific, let the FA sort it out ( ).

It's clear that there is no "Health and Safety" hazard about standing up in football games. The only downside is that your legs bloody hurt the next day holding your weight. What's wrong with standing up? It's not anti-social. It gets the crowd going and, most importantly, everyone enjoys the game without someone telling them to sit down.

I know there are some people that don't like this concept as their little ones won't be able to see/enjoy the game so maybe we get areas where you have to sit down (family stand)? That way we can still develop a brilliant atmosphere!

The 2 lads near us in the North , stand on there seats problem solved

I'm happy but I sit in the second to back.

You do know that the word "women" is plural, don't you?

Or is it reigate that doesn't?

 

[Charlies Shinpad]

If its the one im thinking of she does my f***ing head in.......

Does she sit in N1A or thereabouts ?

 

[Worthingite]

What makes the last 4 rows back so f***ing special though?? We all pay the same price, so surely the same rights should be given in terms of standing? Either we all stand or we all sit.

There are normally three of them! Block D of North towards back. Look like they wear comfortable shoes

 

[Dover]

I prefer to stand, but if asked by anybody I would sit.

What I have noticed in the North Stand is that people have swopped their seats so they can enjoy the atmosphere, and still be in the part of the ground they wish to be.

And thank you for calling me a moron, or words to that effect. I await an apology.

 

[Dover]

I am still waiting for an explanation, or an apology.


Oh! Hello! Is that hell freezing over?

 

[Al Bion]

I am in row Q right behind the goal and have never sat on my seat yet during a game at the Amex, really hope it stays that way too. Surely anyone buying a ticket near the back of the North Stand realises that they may have to stand, if they'd rather sit then there's plenty of other areas of the ground to choose.

You don`t seem the type to be waving shiny pink pom poms in the air

The difference is that the back 4 rows were sold as standing areas. Just because they are in the same stand, totally different rules apply. There was a massive rush for the back 4 rows and they were the first sold out if I remember rightly. It's unfortunate for all the people that cant stand if they want to but all you can do is put yourself on the waiting list for a seat near the back. It's would be a bit selfish to want everybody else to miss out just because you didn't get what you want.

So, can we expect to get a microphone each to allow us to sign effectively in a sitting position?

I think you'll find that a pen would be more effective.
