Your New Stadium - Would you want Safe Standing?

Quoted from Wrawby_Mariner

Liverpool fans weren't entirely blameless for Hillsborough were they?

still would not have happened if there were no perimeter fence.

I did actually mean to add a poll to this but for some reason I can't add it retrospectively, annoying.

I should point out that even the Taylor Report itself did not blame standing per se, it simply said that all-seaters would offer the greatest balance of control and safety. That though was in the early 1990s before the success of safe standing areas in Germany and Austria had become clear, a similar report today is probably necessary if we're honest.

there isnt actually anything stopping us building a standing area in the new ground is there? (butrons ground has standing) just cant convert seating areas back to standing.

Regular barriers to prevent crushing. I would make the whole Pontoon standing and the Lower Findus if it were to happen at BP.

Doesn't the away end have to be a certain percentage of capacity? If so I would then remove seats as necessary in the Osmond Stand - cant remove too many if we are arguing that seats ruin atmospheres!

Whilst on topic why does the Pontoon roof point to the sky? Surely the sound would be much better of it pointed towards the pitch - like the Osmond does?

it cant happen at bp, i asked fenty on one of those questions for the chairman things. requires legistation to be passed to convert seating back in to standing.

Well even if thereare only seats there can still be a crush, as i was watching allthe people come down the steps at sincil bank on Tuesday i thought, it only take 1 person to trip and people die, it can happen at any ground, i hope it doesn't but it could happen to anybody at any ground

same could be said for climing the stairs in your house

In terms of tripping hazards, surely an all-seater stand with thousands of plastic seats at ankle level represents a greater hazard than a terrace?

Well when im going down the stairs of a football ground i am praying to myself " please nobody trip" it can happen to you or one of your best mates, any stadium there can be an incedent where people die, any ground any game any person any time
