Cavalry, by definition, have horses to sit on.bazjonster said:It's gone, let it go!! The days of standing have long gone! Accept the positive change, grasp that you're in 2016, take a seat and stop peeing everyone off when you ignorantly stand up for attention! If you want to stand for 2 hours without a break get a job in the Household Cavalry.
You've grown up now, get over it.
Maybe a better analogy would be the Coldstream Guards.

Hopefully, this will convince more teams to start lobbying their clubs and to get them to trial it.2

It looks like Celtic have sensibly put the safe standing into an area that'll be no where near the Away Fans so see no reason for it not to work0 -
The section they chose is where their "Green Brigade" stand. Everyone always stood in that area so everyone was delighted.ForeverAddickted said:

Hmmm I don't know where I stand on this issue.3

In summary, teams that can't afford it and don't need it can have it....2

I read somewhere else they were encouraging club's to do it in lower tiers rather than upper tiers due to some kind of safety recommendation. So I suspect if it happens it'll be north lower not upper.Henry Irving said:https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/mar/10/safe-standing-football-league-rail-seats

Safe standing covered End lower, with dirt cheap prices.
Be a pilot scheme if needed, but get Efford involved and make it happen...it is possible for it to be safe, people stand anyway. it is a no brainer for me.4 -
Is it worth worrying about?, the way things are going the crowd will all be able to stand up together in a phone box.2

Yes I know that. Sorry should have continued. Most of the supporters who stand are in the North Upper. Most of those in the lower sit. Will there be a movement between the two if this happens? I'm unsure?!Henry Irving said:

If it's only for League One and League Two does that mean that we would have to put the seats back in if we get promoted?
If so I don't think it will be justified.1 -
Bit of a false story though isnt it?LouisMend said:
Plenty of teams in the Football League (with Burton the highest team) already have terraced sections in their Ground with at least a quarter of League One teams also having terracing... If it wasn't safe they wouldnt been allowed to use those sections.
Difference here being that Shrewsbury are the first team that'll be allowed to go from seating back to terracing.1 -

Under this mob, I wouldn't worry about it.

Did I see that West Brom are looking at it?0

Yeah they've offered to be the Guinea Pigs if the Premier League choose to trial it.Uboat said:Did I see that West Brom are looking at it?

If the Premier League get the green light I can see it becoming a fixture - the atmosphere at those stadia is starting to look a little flat on the TV and they can't have that.0

At the Fans Forum meeting on 23rd June Katrien Meire stated that the club have no in principle objection to exploring the introduction of a safe standing area at The Valley.
She stressed that the club would want to canvass the views of fans and would wish to have secured a mandate from supporters before taking the matter any further.
She agreed to the suggestion from CAS Trust that the club might provide space for the Safe Standing Roadshow promoted by The Football Supporters Federation. This would enable supporters to learn more about the issue of safe standing in rail seats.
Tony Keohane noted that the club would need to be clear about the Championship's and The Premier League's position on the issue before proceeding.
CAS Trust have undertaken to liaise with The Football Supporters Federation about the roadshow.1 -
Heard a discussion about this on 5 Live last week. They spoke to a Hillsborough Justice spokesperson, who unsurprisingly said they're very much against the idea. But I don't understand why - they've spent years trying to prove that standing, alcohol and fans were not the main factors in the tragedy. And now that's been agreed, they're still against terracing (even though it'll be far safer than the old style terraces anyway?). Seems really odd and ill-thought out to me, but I may be missing something.
