Pity about the seat colour...ha
The guy running the roadshow is a Bristol City fan
All I can see is sheep dip run and cattle pen s
Sorry not for me .but you should have the choice
if the club endorse a safe standing area then so be it, i dont think it would greatly improve atmosphere with safe standing. What creates atmosphere is tension on the pitch and in the stands. When manure come and other bigger teams the fans are all up for it and the opposition team generally have a chance of beating us. i dont think the atmosphere is that bad at present, we have just become spoilt as we normally steamroll teams and there isnt a great deal of tension (i prefer that way of course) Away fans come knowing they are going to get beat and generally keep quiet it just a day to watch some of the worlds best players. we are not like the European fans that get in the ground way before kick off and have someone at the bottom with a megaphone, we are just not like that. You see us at away game especially in Europe we stay in the bars as long as we can and drift to the game in our own groups. The europeans arrive en masse like its been arranged for weeks. Thats why they create and atmosphere.
we are extremely lucky to witness the worlds best week in week out.
people saying i should move seats because i dont want to stand is completely unacceptable. i sit in 120 which is pretty far round in the south stand, i chose this area because my family all sit in the same area it gives me good access to the stadium for the side of the ground i come from and the concourse is much better for meeting up before and after the game, plus my view is absolutely spot on. if people in blocks 116/117 want to stand then so be it, i think most people that moved to there felt that would happen and would be stood all game. But its now alomist in the colin bell stand.
anyway thats my view !

Earlier in the season I went to Bristol Rovers (Conference) with some relatives and they had standing terraces, and trust me, the atmosphere was electric and the place was rammed. We could really do with safe standing.

I'm all for bringing standing back, held the banner against hull and constantly pushing for it.
But I can't help thinking wtf is going on seriously when you look at the pictures of the blue seat rails / safestand units. I mean we are not learning to stand all over again as we have been standing up since 9 months old, they look like lines of zimmer frames welded together. I've stood up at EDS games, rugby, lower league on normal terrace without feeling as though I was going to fall over or start a mass riot.
Ok we know eufa insist to play in their chumps league that you must have some sort of all seat stadium to be highly credited enough to play in their most gracious cup, but how patronising is it to be inprisoned in 10 ton of scaffold to watch a game of football !
Who knows the penny may drop in years to come with those loons who have set this rule.
