Safe Standing

edited September 2 in General Charlton
Is safe standing being installed in the South Stand , we deliver for the installation contractor, and have delivered to several football grounds recently. We have deliveries going into The Valley this week. I just can’t imagine they’d be in home areas as there was nothing mentioned in any ST sales literature which would obviously be a change to purchased seats.

    Which I believe were meant to be in place for the Millwall game so this would fit

    Have a look and see how think these handrails are, ta.

    What is it you are delivering @Peakey4Rocket? I thought safe standing meant no seats and some new railing, so not much to actually deliver other than some railings?

    If it impacts my view i'll be looking for a booster seat, will let you know how I get on.

    The seat is still there with the most basic form of safe standing, it's just a rail put in place to stop people falling forward.

    By the sound of things, it's rails for the Curbs stand stairs anyway. I imagine they'll be low height, rather than the full height railings at the stop of each staircase.

    We did Brammal Lane last week, it’s the Galvanised rails and bars. I think there they’re doing the home end behind the goal. 
    I just assumed that was why we are delivering a similar amount into The Valley this week.
    It could be hand rails, I just thought it may be safe standing in away end.

    No chance we're putting safe standing in the JS right now

    We need safe standing installed in the first row of the lower north. Get them standing and everyone else behind has and excuse to stand as well.

    You pay for a seat, not a standing spot ffs

    absolutely pointless putting safe standing rails in the JS

    If I was in the lower north I would stand as there's hardly any room to sit. 

    I get why they would put in hand rails as the east still has steps like the old terrace. Every person who supports another team and comes to the valley and sits in the east that I've met have all mentioned the size of the steps. Personally though I hope they don't as it will impact on people's view.

    Heated?

    They have already announced the new handrails in the east stand going in the same time as the new big screen.  Will be complete by the Millwall game

    It's called a stand for a reason 😉 
  • valleynick66valleynick66
    I think some players could try safe standing a bit more during the game too. Some go down far too easily! 😆

    I'm impressed the usual suspects have resisted the temptation to make the obvious joke here.

    The seats have been in use in the JS for, cumulatively, about 37 years. I'm not aware of any fatalities in that time, nor any serious injury, nor any event that might suggest safety is an issue.

    I think the point about it being pointless installing them is in the context of the return on investment. They make sense in the home end as those safe standing seats are in demand and therefore a selling point. The same is not true in the JS.
