Safe Standing permitted at all PL / Championship stadiums - now Wembley (P22)

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

It's just a little ironic that previously all the people who were admonishing those hooligans, racists and coke snorters in the South Stand for having the temerity to stand during the game were, er, actually standing themselves.

I think he's wrong. They are pissed up coke heads, but racism is much diminished nowadays.

 

[Bantamgaz]

we've never stopped standing in certain parts of the ground....both Etihad and Maine Rd.

Aways have always been standing in seats.....

Should never have banned it in the first place ........... once it was done right it was fine I mean nothing else happened after hillsborough did it ????? I mean every club at the top level still had standing areas years after the disaster without any incidents .......... or was it down to Euro 96 when clubs had to have it regardless

UEFA went all seated rule in 1998 so Euros 96 wouldn't have been affected.
All clubs had to change by end of 93 / 94 season which is when the Kippax went.

Thatcher had been humiliated in her defeat to bring in ID cards for football fans (remember Colin Moynihan?). After the miners, football fans were public enemy number 1.
The all seated rule was her way of evening that particular score up.

This is what we’re up against as football fans. I think the porky **** needs to do some standing himself before he keels over from a heart attack.

Oi, I’m not racist!

A cop with his own gravitational pull and gravy filled veins, compare Police behavior when dealing with football fans v Climate road blocking protesters or Chicken shop kiddie groomers

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

The irony of the fans that fucked it all up (and the fans they tried to blame) getting to do this first. Surely a piss take?

Just a coincidence that from Spurs, City, Chelsea and the rags, Chelsea were first to play at home in 2022 and just happened to be against LFC

The Kippax last stand: 25 years ago

It’s staggering to think that the Kippax terrace – City’s last substantial standing area before Maine Road became an all-seater stadium – was last used 25 years ago.

Sweden needed 4 x 20k all seater stadiums to host the Euros in 1992 as final and finals criteria are far more strict.

However it doesn't mean the stadiums can't use temporary seating as was used above and other stadiums. Lansdowne Road used temp seats for football until it was redeveloped, as the IRFU owners wanted standing and more money for the RU games.
