Just seen a post on the general forum around safe standing and the potential for it to be introduced over here. If it did get the green light over the next 6 months say, would that impact our stadium development? Would we look at creating potentially a larger single safe standing stand at one end rather than the proposed 3 tiers?

One tier would mean a complete redesign of the existing proposal new planning application so the answer is probably no

Saw this at the North Stand end - looked to me like they were just there to stop anyone climbing up. Came to mind about the game when someone dropped a banner from the roof of the main stand somewhere in a CL game the other week

Are they still there?

initially I thought they had something to do with the proposed South Stand expansion.(and still do) Then I thought they were put there to protect them from possible damage due to the work being carried out on the new footbridge. Deliveries, etc. But that doesn't make sense. Then danebanksheik threw that one in. TBH that's a lot of trouble to go to stop anyone climbing them. A couple of Police officers nearby would have been enough.

Can't say 100% as I didn't touch them, but they looked metal in appearance. Well over 6ft tall as well.
 
They are far too substantial to simply stop a person or persons from climbing.

I would guess there will be some heavy lifting gear or other machinery in the vicinity soon enough.

They don't exist in the new proposal.(click to enlarge)
