Martin Perry himself told me the back four rows.
There are several instances of reduced allocations etc, but the bottom line is that the FA, Premier League and the SGSA all treat persistent standing with the same degree of seriousness with which UEFA treats racism. And with good reason. Closed areas and reduced allocations = loss of matchday revenue and nasty 'bald' spots on TV, meaning that 'The Greatest League In The World' (TM) is not shown in the best light.

A legal protest against stewards enforcing ground regulations ?
Good luck with that.

Simple answer - no.
I've been told the back SEVEN rows can stand, if your forward of that then it's your own problem really. If you really do want to protest, Shirley standing up the whole match is better than sitting down and shutting up - as that's what the stewards clearly want.

Boo hoo the nasty club wont let me stand in an all seater stadium. Its a shame its illegal to stand because people got killed at football matches but I will stand if I want and if I cant I shall bleat on and on. Get a grip guys ffs look around see our stadium and the football we play and be happy rather than banging on about something the club can do nothing about. They gave a bit of leaway and your now taking the piss so nobody has that leaway

Have to agree, give an inch take a mile.
And it will ruin it for those who did listen and get the back for rows.
If you do want to campaign then your efforts would be better spent getting behind the safe standing campaign.
Feel this whole thread was a fishing attempt anyway.

Agreed. OP normally slags off Brighton fans, especially when we play away.

this isnt enough rows though. they didnt expect to get this many people in the stadium in the first few seasons granted so IMO it's time for a change in the 'rule'.
ALL the north stand should be standing + the 2 new corners. The AWAY stand should be sitting and if this rule is broken by the whole stand so be it... evict them ALL!

Out of interest, why the back 4 rows? Why are they any different any seats anywhere else in the ground?
Oh and from what I hear there are going to be plenty more incidents like the other evening to come in the near future.

Pointless spending out on safe standing then if half the North stand are going to get themselves kick out.

The whole standing up - sitting down enforcement is a farce.
Millwall/Leeds have 2,000 who stand all game - nothing done whereas a club with only 2-300 away fans with 20 standing will be treated in a heavy fashion.
You see every week big Prem teams whose HOME fans are standing most of the game in large numbers and they get away with it - when was the last time you heard of a big club home allocation being reduced - NEVER!!
There is a complete inconsistency and the bottom line is they are trying to enforce a non issue - fans like standing and most of the time are not causing any problems. In the North Stand you are there because you want the experience and I would imagine most people can self regulate, i.e. if someone is annoying you in front them ask them to sit down - it's not rocket science.
Either sort out the inconsistency or use some common sense but sadly the latter is lacking in modern day football in so many ways.

North East Stand.
Have a sit in protest from kick off till the end of the game that will show them.
True. Loads of clubs turn a complete blind eye to mass standing, such as West Ham, Spurs, Liverpool. If people don't want to stand then they don't get in a ticket in, for instance, the Bobby Moore lower at West Ham.
