I hadn't considered that. I'm not sure how much more the South costs but maybe they could match it for those who are displaced

South is Zone A (same as north) so would work if it was made clear that the north is full standing and for a reason

Although, the article doesn’t open!
Blimey. That’s quite a change in stance.

Great news. (Finally)
The article may have been taken down for a while to correct a typo. What it said while it was up the first time was that it will be the back rows of the north only, I think it said row R backwards, but not including seats 1-13 in block A, not including some seats in block H and none in block I.

So essentially making it safe standing for the back of the north stand, where people stand already. Guess that’s a good first step to road test issues.

Wonder if safe standing changes will be done at the same time as moving away fan changes. Logistical nightmare if they are

So do granddads - badly, in some cases very badly!
The article - when it was up - said that 80% of supporters at the back of the north stand voted for safe standing and if anyone in that area wants to move away from the new safe standing area then there will be a priority window for them to do so in March. I guess that means that anyone who wants to then move to the new safe standing area can do so after that. It is then possible that they will try to enforce no standing in the front of the north maybe?

I think the proposed new away fan section will also be rail seating/standing. And is also due to start in 25/26 so i guess this is why the North Stand plans have been put in place.

Now confirmed (they changed the picture)
The club will install safe standing in part of the North Stand in time for the 2025/26 season, after a detailed consultation process with our season-ticket holders.
More than 80% of season ticket holders, who are seated at the back of the north stand, were in favour of safe standing and this will be installed from row R backwards.
Season-ticket holders who are currently seated in the new safe standing area but who wish to move will be offered a priority move window next March, after season-ticket renewals. The date for this window will be announced in late January.
Fans will also be able to come to the Amex and see a small section of rail seating in place. Details of this will be released shortly.
The North Stand seats affected are: Block N1A to N1H, row R upwards, seats 13-241.
Block N1A, seats 1-13 will not have safe standing installed, nor will N1H from seat 243 upwards and none of Block N1I.
For fans who currently sit in those areas, safe standing does not mean seats will be removed, but a rail will be installed in front of the seat, and those in that area will be required to remain in their allocated place. The capacity of the Amex will not increase, and ticket prices will not be reduced.
Albion’s head of ticketing and supporter services Jenny Gower said, “I’d like to thank the season-ticket holders for their feedback. We had a fantastic response to our survey and a very strong majority in favour of installing safe standing towards the back of the North Stand.
“We will help any season-ticket holders who want to move and the impact of safe standing will be regularly reviewed, but we are confident it will make the atmosphere in the North Stand even better and help Fabian Hurzeler and the team.”

How many rows of safe standing will there be then and what will the approximate capacity be?
