Pros: good atmosphere and can fit more people in

Cons: people never get to know themselves as capable of singing while sitting.
Pros: People who want to stand have the choice, improvement of stadium atmosphere.
Cons: cost of installing, and - if capacity were to increase in standing areas - cost of altering the concourses to comply with regulations for the increased capacity.

I think thee are some pros and cons in these:
Safe Standing at the AMEX: Yes or No?
Meeting with Paul Barber/Martrin Perry/Paul Camillin last night re safe standing
The Safe Standing Debate
If the North Stand was converted to safe standing
Safe standing
Villa offer to trial return of terraces
safe standing or all seater
(that isn't meant as "another safe standing thread?! ffs!" but "here are some other places you can look if you're interested")

That's quite a leading assumption.
FWIW, I'm "on the fence" so not amongst this "vast" majority. I'm not really "against" it, I just don't care about it.
I suspect a lot of north standers possibly support it but the rest are probably feel neither here nor there about it.

Everton stadium announcer told the man city fans to sit down otherwise you will be kicked out!

That happens every game at Goodison Park, and isn't directed at away fans. It is done for those behind the goal which Everton will be attacking in the second half. It does not work. Look at the stand

The message was JUST for Man City fans.

And will have done nothing, I will bet you any amount of money. When the camera pans accross you will see them all standing in the lower and upper sections. Most teams in the Premier League stand 100% of the time away from home - we will be exactly the same

Yes, The Everton fans were already sitting down.
Odd logic there. I sit in the west stand upper BECAUSE the north stand is all seated. If it were a terrace I would be in the north stand.

Pros: better atmosphere, higher density of supporters means more tickets to sell, easier for people to see because the standers are all in one place, safer than standing in an all-seater, easy to switch back to all-seater using fold-away seating.
Cons: limiting ticket supply drives prices up (which turns out to be a pro for the club), safe standing requires more vomitories which means stand redesign, harder to steward.

The Amex has just been completed as an all seater stadium. Safe standing as used in Germany and elsewhere costs 30% more to install than the type of upmarket seating we have. So with the other additional costs I cant see it happening at our club for a while. Having said that I would always prefer to stand.

Given the binfest after a loss or draw on here (which is at odds with any/all fans I speak to in "real" life), I would not take any NSC poll as being in any way representative of the fan base as a whole.
