That terrace at Dortmund is nothing like the old English terraces at all.

I don't want to stand at football though.
Am I allowed to say that?

Amazing.
Now that is very impressive, great club, great kit and I hope they get through and beat the german version of Manchester United Bayern Munich.
Er, yes. Where has anyone suggested that every part of the stadium should be standing? Two thirds of it shouldn't be.

Its a Hi-Viz orgy,.... look at all those stewards, madness.Amazing.
The production line is quite shocking to be honest.
Playing catch up? Given the dates I presume you mean the England national team? IMHO they have not even stopped the rot yet. The FA and the Premier League and the Football League need to get together for the greater good if anything is to change. And this will not happen for a long long time. You'll probably need something drastic like the Sky going bust before anything will change. England will continue to produce mainly sub-standard and technical inferior players for years all the while 3 different bodies pull in different directions and short-termism rules.
Of course. I do not like standing at football either but I feel strongly it should be an option for those which do.

Yes, your quite right. I see no reason why safe standing cannot be implemented for those who wish it.

Nothing in this country will change whilst the premier league has so much power. In terms of infrastructure the Germans are absolute light years ahead of us now.
Now the Spanish bubble has burst should Gus be looking to our Teutonic cousins for next season? I guess we could get away with Ashley Bahn-es and Craig Mick-Heil Hitler Smith but I feel we need some real Germans in the side. I liked the idea of signing that bloke called The Hammer.

As long as you understand that this marks you out as not being 'true' fan.
Everyone's entitled to watch the game as they wish, but if it doesn't involve you standing up and bellowing for the entire 90 minutes then you're doing it wrong.
For future reference, you can also get bonus 'True fan' points by complaining constantly about stewards trying to do their job, after all, you pay for your ticket, why shouldn't you be allowed to do what you want, when you want?

Pedant alert. The Hammer was Austrian.
I agree with you but I can never fully understand this case for standing being a better atmosphere. I have been a lots of all-seater stadia and the atmosphere is fantastic. Take the Champions League semis we have just watched...all seater but incredible atmospheres. The vast majority of fans wear colours and a significant number all ways sing irrespective of seats. It's in your heads, not in the lack of standing areas.

Sack Gus and get in Rosler, pronto.
? He was born in Munich and has 50 plus caps for Germany. That's a reasonable case for being German in my book
I'm not suggesting sacking Gus, I rather like him and his good cop side-kick Tano.
