I sit in 122 and its exactly the same stand up for two minutes and youve got people behind you crying telling you to use your seatshakermaker85 said:I sit on level 1 in CB 121 and I'd love nothing more to stand during the game.

Both points of view would be catered for with safe standing areas.Ardwick Green Blue said:shakermaker85 said:I sit on level 1 in CB 121 and I'd love nothing more to stand during the game.

The law dictates that Premiership football is seating only so the fact that you prefer to stand up is irrelevant. Other paying supporters don't so why should they put up with not seeing the crucial parts of the game because you are blocking their view?

Corporate stuff really get money in the club. The price you pay for success?
I wasn't disagreeing with you. Everyone pays good money for their tickets and has a right to see the game. At away games its okay because the norm is to stand and most seem happy with that. Where we sit there are few even older than me that prefer to sit and I am mindful that whenever I do stand on the odd occasion that the game merits it i sit down as quick as possible. I guess not everyone is as aware of others.Ardwick Green Blue said:GornikDaze said:Both points of view would be catered for with safe standing areas.Ardwick Green Blue said:The law dictates that Premiership football is seating only so the fact that you prefer to stand up is irrelevant.

I agree but as things are it is totally ignorant & selfish for individual supporters to ruin the match for others because they want to stand up in areas where the vast majority don't.

It worries me that if our atmosphere continues to be so flat and as most of our games are live on TV, the gates will eventually suffer. On the other hand almost everywhere in the prem the game has become much more of a "spectator" sport. Off the top of my head Anfield is the only ground where the atmosphere is still something like it was in its hey-day. A safe standing area is about the only thing I can think of that might breathe some life into the Etihad

Unfortunately, in my opinion we don’t earn the team any points. The stadium isn’t a fortress, it isn’t intimidating and we're very quiet unless things go our way. People might not like it but at home, our fans are shocking, simple as that. Today was like an Arsenal game, silence - expecting a goal. If not lets moan, groan and have a tantrum.
The team needs backing, 1,000 fans singing in the corner is not enough.
