[Football] Safe standing in the North stand next season ....?

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

The North stand is one of the smallest and least intimidating home end in the division. It would make more sense to make it bigger rather than making it look like the all-standing home end at Stockport or Barrow.

Can you give just one possible reason why any club would want to go to the expense of locking the seats - what possible benefit is there? None!

They can't anyway as not within the criteria set out by SGSA

'Safe standing in the North stand'

Was that Debbie Harry's follow-up to French Kissing in the USA?

Southampton now have 10,000 rail seats, I believe. We’re being left behind.

Everyone stands anyway, so what’s the point in spending more money?

No, they don’t.

No, they don’t.

They all do down our end

Yes, I know but half of G along with most of H block don’t.

Are you being silly for the sake of it?

You think the home end is bad at Barrow - this is the 'other' end (not the away end, as that's next to the home area). You have to look carefully to see the goal. Those windows are the bar, and the 'Corporate Hospitality Suite' is next to them. Although actually that suite hasn't actually got windows and you can't see the pitch from it, to get to the pitch for your 'hospitality seats' (in the freezing cold wind straight off the sea) you have to walk through the gym.

The new home end behind the goal is vastly improved, they put a roof on it a season or two ago.

Isn't 'Not until hell freezes over' still PBOBEs official - and final - answer?

I do wonder about this. At which point does the Amex be seen as out of date. I am struggling to think of many grounds with no safe standing now. It's a strange one. Even Bournemouth have it ffs. I don't think the "can't afford it" line stacks up

It’s nothing to do with wasting money or cost , barber has stated he doesn’t want it as it doesn’t fit in with the clubs philosophy on focusing on family’s

I've never seen him state that?

 

[HangletonGull]

He’s said it, that’s why safe standing will never be introduced

(Front) half of H block i'd say..
